Tuor said:Synchronize, it's not that Umbreon is bad, but it's stats are low in many areas. Granted it looks the coolest out of all the evolutions, but I think that you would get the best results from a Vaporeon, but Umbreon definitely helps with the first 1/2 - 2/3 of the game.
Uzumaki_Naruto said:If it was a battle between umbreon and espeon, umbreon would take it due to the fact that espeon lacks attack power and his special attacks will do either little or no damage to umbreon like, bite and psychic. Umbreon's defensive abilities usually cut down a lot of an espeon's attack. Though umbreon will pawn espeon, I like espeon much more, even though umbreon is the best looking of the five forms. Espeon's special attack and speed are more than enough for any pokemon to handle other than powerful ones. A Psychic from an espeon would usually take the spot unless they aren't ko'ed. I sure hate it when it's a type battle, like psychic vs. psychic. If it's like that and it's Espeon vs. Alakazam, Espeon could just bite it and that should do enough damage or maybe two attacks, take it that your Espeon even knows Bite. :D Though a good physical will do for Alakazam. The hardest Psychic to psychic battle with an Espeon would be against a Gardevoir. (I think that's how you spell it. :P) Gardevoir has the best Special attack ratings and Special Defense. (I don't about the Special defense though but I do about the Special Attack. :D)
And to the eevee vs. lugia battle. Eevee might have a chance because it has bite. Though eevee's special attack rating isn't so high, unless i'm mistaken, and lugia, well it's defensive stats are as high as umbreon's but even better. Good luck with that battle because you'll need it. :P

Vaporeon
Helpfulness: *****
High HP and defenses, good sp.atk as well. This is a great choice for beginners
Jolteon
Helpfulness: ****
Thunder wave is why it got that extra *, plus the only good electric type in this game (Besides zapdos) is Ampharos. This is a good choice.
Flareon
Helpfulness: **
Why? WHY??? I love this guy, but he barely helps out in the game. He is a good fire type, while there are lots of fire types in the game. Mainly for power.
Espeon
Helpfulness: ***1/2
Sure enough, Espeon being a psychic type and all brings out the status of confusion. Sure its only a 10% chance with confusion or psybeam, but espeon has enough power to help out. Good special attacker and can confuse. A decent choice.
Umbeon
Helpfulness: *****
Okay, Umby is a tankish pokemon with higher speed than MOST tanks. Has a little bit of offense to attack, but not much. Confuse Ray is a BIG help. Synchronize as an ability is good to give status effects to your foe. Tankish little dude with good stats.
Personally I'd pick Vaporeon then Jolty. Umby is good but I don't like his 3d looks.
Lone Eevee said:I would say though chosing espoen would be better for the game as it helps out in special cases, count jolteon out as well like said before theres a better electric pokemon in the game. But down to it, its your choice and your fav you would pick anyway ^^
