Ok... Hello. I'm in a somewhat dire situation. I'm thinking about what to do with my Shiny Eevee. What to evolve it into, and then what moveset, and then what EVs to put on it. urgh.

Now, IMO, I want it to either be a Shiny Espeon, Shiny Umbreon or Shiny Glacia/Glaceon. I also wanted a Shiny Flareon sorta, but with this Eevee, it's Attack IV isn't so hot. No pun intended. So let's get right to it, stat-wise.


I traded it over to my Sapphire game, which is full of Rare Candies I got from, well, you know, looking for Shinies and using a team of Zigzagoons. I have about 30 Rare Candies.
I read that to get an accurate IV rating, it needs to be around minimum Lv. 50.
So I used 25 without saving to take it to Lv. 50, to get these stats:

Lv. 50
Modest Nature
HP: 125
Attack: 54
Defense: 57
Sp. Attack: 67
Sp. Defense: 80
Speed: 67

Possible IVs:

HP = 21
Attack = 2
Defense = 5
Sp. Attack = 23
Sp. Defense = 21
Speed = 15

It hasn't varied much with the level. I resetted, and then used Rare Candies to get it up to Lv. 32 and stopped.


So, let's see. Flareon a nono because of nature and abismal Attack.
Umbreon, maybe. Sp. Defense is the best stat looking at it, but IV wise it's always been Sp. Attack, what caught my eye first.
Which leads to Espeon, what I've pretty much decided on (but I haven't done anything yet so don't worry).
Another of the new Pokemon, Glacia, is alot like Espeon, but it's movepool is just as lacking, IMO. Plus Psychic Pokemon are better. To me, anyway. Ice Pokemon are neat, but I need a Psychic Pokemon.

As for the other Eeveelutions, you can suggest them if it's a blaringly obvious equation that I should do one of them than these others.


And once I have THAT cleared.... It's on to Movesets and EV distribution. Which is from the frying pan into the fire.
Also, this is for D/P. So keep that in mind.
I'm thinking about putting Shadow Ball onto the Espeon if I get it, because if I'm not mistaken Shadow Ball now takes from the Special Attack stat. It's not much, but it's something. I'll also check the Hidden Power thing when it's all said and done and may go that route.
Give me your opinions so I can craft mine more. :(

Vaporeon, since the IVs you listed reflect some of its best stats. The only downside would be a loss in Defense.

This is where I would give EV and moveset help, but:

1) I don't know if there are any changes in EV distribution in D/P.
2) I don't know what Vaporeon's movelist looks like in D/P.
3) I don't really like/care about D/P.
4) D/P should probably die in a large fire.

Sorry I couldn't be as helpful as I usually am.

Same.

2) I don't know what Vaporeon's movelist looks like in D/P.
Nothing special.

4) D/P should probably die in a large fire.
Lol.


I say those are good stats for Espeon.

Espeon @Leftovers
EVs: 160 HP / 244 Spd / 106 SDef
Modest Nature
-Psychic
-Calm Mind
-Baton Pass
-Substitute

BPer please. No matter what you do, Espeon is never gonna Special sweep with all the Dark/Steels around.

Uh... I think the reason he said it was D/P was because of Leafia and Glacia
Well... Really just keep your Eevee away from Flareon and you'll be fine.

@Synch:
Ehh, sorry man, I totally didn't see that you stated your post was crappy in the first place. @[email protected]; If I noticed it before (somehow I don't see how I couldn't have.. oh well) I might not have been so "harsh".

Anyway, thanks for the ideas.
I have experience enough to keep it away from Flareon. :) I'm just glad I can be verified of that... cause sometimes I forget things and go off on the wrong way. The Shiny Hunting can really take you away from the main reason of Pokemon, no?



@Aragornbird: the moveset you suggested at first didn't go with my tastes, as I'd really love for this thing to bomb. But after thinking about it, it makes great sense. It already has high Sp. Attack. It's as good as Gengar's. But that's the problem. All the new types and such. That's where Baton Pass comes in. A quick getaway, plus it transfers everything Calm Mind led up to to the next Pokemon, possibly my Dragonite, who would love that because of the Sp. Attacks I have on it. (It's nothing special, and definately not the best, but I like it. :) ) Or possibly someone with low Sp. Defense. What was the other one? Oh, yeah, of course, Morning Sun, to restore lost HP while raising the stats. :)

Thanks. I'll wait around for other ideas, but msot likely I'll go with what you've suggested. As you can see, I've really warmed up to it after I've talked about it. ^_^ Now.. if only a Pokemon could learn 6 moves... then I could have Shadow Ball and something else, but that opens up other possibilities (such as Sunny Day) but just totally breaks the whole game apart up to this point, so remind me not to say anything about 6 moves again. @[email protected];
