Espeon Help
 
i have a espeon with a modest nature and right now its sp.atk is at 355 and its spd is at 287 and its only lvl 90!!! its move set and info are as follows:

Espeon= Modest nature
hp=244
atk=134
def=140
sp.atk=355
sp.def=203
spd=287

Move set
calm mind
psychic
grass knot
hidden power

What should i do to make it better and what item should i equip it with??

1. What type is Hidden Power

2. What did you ev train it in. Excluding special attack.

3. Leftovers or Life Orb helps.

I would teach shadow ball, it 1.has a good attack power 2.it will really use your espeons sp.attack powers, I would loose grass knot. Grass knot is only really good with heavy pokemon and Espeon only weights 58 pounds.

Grass Knot base damage is depending on how heavy the foe is. Not how heavy the user is. Grass Knot is useful on Espson.

Grass Knot is good AGAINST heavy Pokemon, not if the user is heavy. I'd go...

Calm Mind
Reflect
Shadow Ball
Psychic

Shadow ball beats ghost types, a big weakness of espeon's, so I'd stick w/ that. What type is HP?

ZaChAttAck101 July 26th, 2007 6:41 PM

i EV trained it along with spd and hidden power is dark which i really wanted to be ice =(!!!

dispiacere- grass knot is dependent upon the weight of the opponent not the user...i taught it to him just in case i ever get caught with a pokemon like swampert or rhyperior or something to that effect!!!

Anti July 26th, 2007 6:43 PM

Oh if HP is dark then use grass knot.

Replace Hidden Power with Shadow Ball then.

1. Shadow Ball has a higher base damage.

2. Special Defense decrease.

Sorry, my bad, misread the serebii page.

ZaChAttAck101 July 26th, 2007 6:54 PM

ok!!! but now i need a shadow ball tm!!! i hope i have a spare!!! does anybody here have 1?? i may also need to give it an item for boosting speed since it isnt fast enough to outrun pokemon like alakazam or gengar =[

Anti July 26th, 2007 6:57 PM

It's pretty dang close though. Try BPing it speed (and defense wouldn't hurt either).

ZaChAttAck101 July 26th, 2007 6:59 PM

sorry to sound new to it but what does BP mean??

Anti July 26th, 2007 7:10 PM

Baton Pass. It is a move that..um...well, let's say I have a scyther that knows wing attack, swords dance, agility, and Baton pass. If it used swords dance and agility both once and used baton pass, BP would switch you out and you send a new pokemon in. You say "why not just switch?" It's because the pokemon who comes in would keep the benefits of swords dance and agility. You can also BP mean look.

Not a Nazi July 26th, 2007 8:06 PM

It's a move that's like a switch, but keeps any effects in play that a switch would remove.

Anti July 26th, 2007 8:09 PM

Basically what I said but more simplified.

Anti July 26th, 2007 9:01 PM

Seriously. Just look at Flareon...

Exactly, the Worst Eevee-Evolution ever. too bad they didn't improve him in dp, or at least enough to make him a threat to SOMEthing. the only good move he has is Fire Blast. which sadly, will still do less damage then Return even with STAB.

Crimson Arcanine July 27th, 2007 4:07 AM

Actually I would go far as to say they punished Flareon in the 4th generation. Main because of Shadow Ball and of course a loss of some other moves as well (2nd generation would probably been best for Flareon)

The Eevee-Evolutions strength is thier good stats. Too bad it doesn't really do enough for them.

Yes, i agree with this post more then anything. i still wouldn't use Eevee-Evolutions even it was a Uu Tourney. anybody who says Eevee-Evolutions are strong, are very VERy Wrong. even Cradily does better then them.
