      I was trying to get an espeon in gen 4, my eevee started evolving in the 30s and i was pleased about the friendship timing. Then it evolved into glaceon. Whoops. Icy rock on the route. I used it to great effect that playthrough, anyway.

  • @TrxPsyche
    @TrxPsyche 15 дней назад +7

    I stand by that Espeon REALLY needs a strong fire move. While Tera Blast exists and can be used for it, it's less beneficial for Espeon to be Tera Fire over Tera Fairy, as Fairy is a better defensive type. If Espeon got Mystical Fire, a fire move a lot of Psychic Pokemon can learn, You could run Psychic/Psyshock, Tera Blast (Fairy)/(Fighting), Shadow Ball and Mystical Fire, which would give Espeon an insanely good amount of coverage, with Tera Fairy or Fighting covering its weakness well. It wouldn't make Espeon top tier or anything, but it would make it another incredibly good special nuke with added hazard protection.

    Back in X&Y even SunMo, I kept Espeon on my teams cause it was just that good of a Pokémon that no one really saw coming. A fast and good special sweeper that can be switched in when the opponent is obviously going to set up entry hazards or status effects. Due to it being able to be both defensive and offensive, it's easily my favorite Eeveelution. Love its sleek design as well.

    The biggest issue it has is no steel coverage. If they gave it flamethrower it would actually put in some amazing results. Other than that the eeveelution stat spread is doing its bulk zero favors. In case your wondering every eeveelution has the same base stats rearranged. All of them have 60, 65, 65, 95, 110, and 130 in some order.

    Great video as usual 👍. One point i want to point out that should the shaymin go down their. If destiny bond is used in the first turn your opponent clicks sucker punch, you can essentially force them to kill your pokemon by clicking an attacking move as sucker punch would go first in the turn after and destiny bond would still be in effect. I tested that out today, it works.

    With Hatterene being so prominent in OU it might be hard to use it there. Espeon is still good and has the more speedy advantage, but Hatterene makes up for it for having duel stab, better use of Tera, and overall more utility options like Nuzzle and Draining Kiss (Built in Stab). Espeon could be nice in UU though.
    Edit: The main issue is Espeon's poor bulk making switches very risky compared to Hatterene's much more useful bulk.
