The Eevees are attacking!!
 
Here's my weak attempt at an Eeveevolutions team:

Sorry about the Evs...I guess Clade already fixed some of that-can you help me out here? If Serebii is really that bad about movesets, why should their Evs be better? I just bred all these Eevees for natures and I don't really want them to go away...so I guess this is it:

Too many gaps, i cannot read it properly.
Type out EVs fully, and dont waste time writing their names twice
Flareon's moveset is too shallow to use, and you already have a jolteon as special sweeper

Sort out the presentation problems and i'll give a full rate.

Arcknight316 March 2nd, 2008 11:28 AM

Really, taking a bunch of movesets and slamming them together DOESN'T WORK. And actually TYPE OUT YOUR EVs.

Don't go to Serebii for competetive advice. It fails at that.

Vaporeon:

Nature: Calm

Evs: 252 HP / 172 Defense / 80 SDefense

Moveset: [email protected]

Surf
Icebeam / Toxic
Haze
Rest/Wish

Um, EVs? Would you mind telling us how many EVs are being used for each stat?

Jolteon:

Nature: Timid

Evs: 252 Speed / 252 SAttack / 4 HP

Moveset: [email protected]/Petaya Berry

Thunderbolt
Hidden Power [ICE]
Substitute
Baton Pass

Flareon:

Nature: Lonely

Evs: 252 Attack . 252 Speed / 4 HP

Moveset: [email protected]

Shadow Ball
Flamethrower
Quick Attack
Return

LOL, Iron Tail.

Espeon:

Nature: Timid

Evs: 252 SAttack / 252 Speed / 4 HP

Moveset: [email protected] Berry

Sunny Day
HP Fire
Psychic
Morning Sun

Don't know much about him.

Umbreon:

Nature: Bold

Evs: 252 HP / 172 Defense/ 80 SDefense

Moveset: [email protected]

Mean Look
Taunt
Baton Pass
Wish

Note that Vaporeon doesn't need to be my lead. This is all just copied.

The format is really hard to read.

Pokemon @ Item
Ability
EVs
Nature
- Move 1
- Move 2
- Move 3
- Move 4

I would say more, but I don't have much time. It looks like 3rd Generation.

You see, when you copy someting out of Serebii, you know there's something horridly wrong.

List out the EVs instead of "eved mostly in att and rest in blah"

Anti March 2nd, 2008 4:13 PM

You know when I always complain about thoughtless teams this is pretty much what I am talking about :/ 6 copied movesets from a place that gives pretty terrible advice is not so great. If you're going to make an eeveelution team at least make it worthwhile to rate.

As others have said, make the format readable and specify the EVs. Also I'd go to some other sources for some second opinions on those movesets. The only one I saw that was any good at all was Umbreon.

I'll start with a Vaporeon moveset to help you out a little. Surf/Ice Beam/Wish/Toxic can be fun while Surf/Wish/Baton Pass/Substitute passes subs and crap. the latter is more reliable but you have no answer for Garchomp.

masterman2332 March 2nd, 2008 4:21 PM

i think should just have a nomal evees elvouion

Milke March 2nd, 2008 4:47 PM

Okay, I fixed that up a bit - now what? I think I need an Espeon and another pokemon - should I go with Leafeon or Glaceon? Or something else?

luke March 2nd, 2008 5:07 PM

It would help raters if you clarified if this was for the Third Generation or the Fourth Generation.

Milke March 2nd, 2008 5:47 PM

4th generation, as you can see by the Glaceon and Leafeon suggestions.

El Gofre March 3rd, 2008 8:24 AM

I can help with the espeon set, i found one hat worked quite well:
[email protected] Specs
Modest
252SpAtt/252Spd/6HP
Shadow Ball
Psychic
Grass KNot
HP Fire
Choice Specs set. This thing hits way harder and faster than you'd expect. HP fire stops steels from laughing at you

Milke March 3rd, 2008 2:22 PM

Thanks Gofre!! Editing...

Is that it? Is there anything else to be done?

Oh yeah, a 6th pokemon!!!

Should I go with Glaceon, Leafeon, or somthing else??

Anti March 3rd, 2008 2:24 PM

Out of curiosity is this team for serious OU play? Because if it is...what exactly is the strategy? I don't really see one ._.

Milke March 3rd, 2008 2:28 PM

I don't have one, really...this will be my first Ev trained team. What should my strategy be?

Anti March 3rd, 2008 2:40 PM

Well I'd probably run a BOP chain since they can't really do much else. Then you can have something sweep at the end. Umbreon is awesome with Mean Look/Toxic skills and can pass the trap to something like Vaporeon who can set up 101 subs all day.

Generally counter as many OU threats as you can with the eeveelutions and try to have a way of working with the pokemon. If this is your first shot at competitive battling I'd lay off the theme teams until you get used to the competitive atmosphere ;)

really if it doesnt get atleast one team move or attacking move its just a pp waster for the foe (umbreon +ability= slow pp loss because its not pressure)

but if you take my advice keep baton pass and use after double teaming

Milke March 4th, 2008 4:25 AM

@Spazzy- did you read the rest of the post? I'm wondering if I should use one of them!! Actually, Vaporoen is my favorite:P
@charmander toy- I don't know what you're talking about. Could you please take the time to punctuate your sentences so I can understand you? What are you saying?

Then stop spamming & make your own team.

No. In the compettitive scene, Double Team is banned. Confuse Ray is stupid. Swagger is even worse.
