  • Well I just hatched my new Eevee in Emerald and I was wondering what I should evolve it into?

    Jolteon, you don't get many good electric-type pokemon in R/S besides Manectric.

  • Evolve it into either Espeon and Umbreon. Those two can only be gotten in RSE because of the internal clock system.

    Better yet, why don't you breed more Eevees instead and have them all?

  • If you're not a Ninetales fan, then Flareon is the way to go. Pretty much all Fire Pokemon in R/S/E suck (besides Ninetales and Blaziken; I don't count Groudon, because there's no challenge in using legendaries), and there are so few of them anyways that it makes Flareon a pretty good choice.

    Jolteon, you don't get many good electric-type pokemon in R/S besides Manectric.
    I'm insulted by your lack of faith in Raichu. xD

    Actually, I think Electrode is pretty good too, minus it's bad moveset. It's speed is almost unmatched.

    Since you can only choose from Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon depends on nature really but most likely Jolteon is the way to go.

  • Let's see...Flareon's stats are sorta screwed up, it's attack is too high for a Fire Type without a lot of physical moves...
    Jolteon's fast and strong, it's pretty good, though I've never used one...
    Vaporeon's for stalling, if you're into that kind of thing...
    Espeon's for *ahem* messive demage!!! It's strong. And sort of fast.
    Umbreon's mainly defensive, although it's still really strong, sort of like Dusknoir.

    Well, I'd say go with Umbreon, Jolteon or Espeon, your choice really.

    Um...Groundon is a ground type, and I would pick Jolteon because he/she is fast and strong, so pick JOLTEON!!!

    Sorry about the double quote thing I can't fix it.

    It depends. :X What do you think would work best on your team?

    Personally, Jolteon is my favorite (and I don't like Manetric), so I'd use Jolteon.

    Groudon has a lot more in common with Fire Pokemon than with Ground Pokemon. His Drought ability makes up for the lack of STAB, and his moveset heavily consists of Fire-type moves.

    When you consider how bad the pickings are for Fire Pokemon in R/S/E (unless you trade with FR and LG, obviously, but some such as myself don't have that luxery), it's probably better to throw Groudon into that group, since he basically is a Fire Pokemon, minus one technicality. I still never use him though, since I really don't believe in using legendaries, because there's no challenge in it (and it defeats the whole purpose of raising your Pokemon).

  • I like flareon
    there is only torkal that is the only fire type right in emerald i think.
    Because Torchic, Combusken, Blaziken, Numel, Camerupt, Slugma, and Magcargo never existed. D: There's probably more, though.

    Which Eeveelution to evolve it into is totally dependent on the members of your team, the IVs, and the Nature of your Pokemon. Until you give us that information, we can't really give you a good answer. However, I can tell you that Flareon is seldomly used, and Umbreon isn't very useful at times. Espeon is outclassed by numerous other special sweepers like Alakazam and Gengar. That's the main reason why it isn't used anymore. Your main choices are between Vaporeon and Jolteon. Vaporeon is arguably the most useful out of all three of them. It's incredibly bulky and can pass a Wish to another Pokemon in case you messed up early on. Vaporeon is seen and used by a lot more trainers than Jolteon. Jolteon is okay. It makes a good speedy Baton Passer and a good lead Pokemon, but that's about it. It's small movepool severely limits its sweeping capabilities. Anyways, your best bet is most likely Vaporeon, but then again, we have yet to know the IVs and Nature of the Pokemon, so saying that you would need Vaporeon would be judging by a narrow sense of knowledge. It would be more helpful if you would provide the necessary elements of your Eevee that we need to know to determine which Eeveelution is the best. :3

    But the truth is that Groudon is still not a ground type how ever you add things up.

  • Yeah, post your team, but at first glance, I'd suggest that you use Flareon, most of the other Fire types available, are not that capable for holding their own battle
