Pokemon that can Counter Espeon?

[Craig²]

Hi ~


What are some good Pokemon that can take care of Espeons?

If you can, state the Pokemon along with a moveset and all that jazz.

I know this seems a bit random but I need to know for battling purposes ~

Ask this in the Q&A thread. We can help you there. It is a sticky on this forum. Espeon is countered by and dark type like houndoom or TTar.

I dont think espeon can learn focus blast so any dark type could counter it..and blissey..

[Anti Pop Culture Warrior]

Basically what I said in my last post. In fact, a dark type walls almost every psychic type (except for the likes of metagross and medicham who can actually fight back). You get the basic point though.

[Shiraishi]

Mewtwo and Zam can fight back with Focus Blast and Aura Sphere.

[Anti Pop Culture Warrior]

Yeah, you're right. Those pokemon would go with medicham and gross in the "can fight back" category.

[Roihu]

Well couldn't a espeon counter Ttar with a grass knot?

[Anti Pop Culture Warrior]

Yeah but TTar would win 1-on-1 easy.

[Iceman3k]

Unless Espeon carries a Hidden Power of Ground, Water, or Fighting, then Houndoom counters it big time.

Also, just about any Dark Type w/Pursuit can waltz in and OHKO it. A perfect example would be Weavile.

[Anti Pop Culture Warrior]

Yeah espeon is pwned by almost all dark types.

Yeah, my espeon has hidden power water 67 and it can hardly dent any tyrannitars, I guess too many people use marriland's strategy. max hp and attack.

[Towlie]

Pretty much anything that has a Physical attack or Blissey, Cressila, Skarm, etc.

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

The problem with using blissey is they can calm mind baton pass while you are stealth rocking and calm minding and if you have a genuine blissey, thunderwaving and sofboiling.
