Really look like a black cat more than umby itself.... Maybe with a yellow stripe or ring XD it will even more like umby

Haha okay! I'll try that ^_^

EDIT:

Okay, I totally cheated on the yellow circles (i.e. copied and pasted from the Umbreon sprite XD) and the line on the tail is too small. oh well ^___^

I think the two best natures for espeon imo are Timid/Calm, plus they're my two favourite natures.
My espeon is Calm, I can't wait to get her on to diamond.

Modest works if you want good damage,~ >3

 

[Dee Trier]

Calm for sp def... I prefer attacking Espy. When I had multi battle with my friend in 3rd gen, Espy is one of eevveelution i bring the most (Beside Jolty). Mostly because it's speed and SA. I often used it again gengar, which have same base speed and SA, but meh Our gengar(s) speed still lower than my espy.

Modest for all out attack, Timid for some pokemon that prefer SA/atk over speed (it can outrun modest starmie, and use bite/shadow ball) so you can attack first or skill swap certain pokemon (skill swapping flygon levitate for most likely EQ, or skill swapping other -eon)

 

[shirokiryuu]

Hmm i should try those natures as well, but since i'm not so great at defensive strategies, I prefer to use special sweepers.

I think this umbreon hates me. (plus the crapilicious sprite job)

 

[Dee Trier]

It's weird for sure. Here is Some of Espy moveset i found in Frontier that i once want to try (Cancel it because i have 4 espy already)
- Charm (lower atk 2 step, and because espy fastm you can lower it before attacked)
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Rest/Morning sun/wish? (I forgot the last slot)
The idea is stalling first then stat up, and sweep after some CM

That's kind of how I use my espy, except I really integrated my team's performance to rely on each-other a lot more than required.
The only problem with builds like this is now opposing pokemon can pull surprise, super-effective moves of either the Physical/Special category, Making it really hard to predict the outcome of even one single move choice.

 

[shirokiryuu]

What is the normal moveset do you use? I can't remember mind clearly, but it's probably the usual calm minding technique. Hm.. I don't remember if I have calm mind on my modest espeon, I only evolved it and haven't worked on it (because I saved if for diamond). Argh. Calm mind is a battle tower prize =/ I wonder how many battles i would need...

Random Glaceon Espeon (and I'm not going to add those head thingys from Glaceon)

If us 3 keep posting the others are gonna come back to a 38 page thread >D

My espy♥;
-
Gender:Female♀
Nature:Calm
Ability:Sync
-Psychic
-Calm Mind
-Substitute
-Baton pass
Item:Leftovers
-

The moves depend on what other pokemon you have in the team. Espeon could be the first pokemon you add to a team, or you could add it later on in the game.
Modest espeon is a full sweeper, so It would do best with (1CalmMind/2attackMoves/Other)

I have a Body Slam espeon and two other lv100's, but this one I want to give a big kiss on the mouth because I loves it.~♥>3

 

[Dee Trier]

You mean Glacy's ear?
My Espy
Pscyhic(anyone doesn't use this move?)
Bite(Shadow ball if i played 4th gen)
any two of
Skill Swap/Protect/Morning Sun/Helping Hand/Calm Mind/ Light Screen/ Reflect

And no matter how many time you raise def/sp def in a critical hit it won't be count. I usually give umby substitute because of this. Umby is better for stalling IMO

 

[shirokiryuu]

Hmm... yeah, I have the Calm Mind/Psychic/(sometimes)Shadow Ball/ but I'm not too sure what to put as the 4th attack. I really need a Baton Passer, but I have zero experience at using them (although I get the concept). Oh. but then I would need to train it in speed (forgive me for my rambling)

 

[Felidire]

Calm Mind absorbs special-damage,
Substitute absorbs critical strikes,
Acid armor absorbs physical-damage,
Leftovers, Ingrain, Aqua Ring, provide sustenance,
Ingrain prevents any pseudo\hazing,
Espeon's speed allows a first hit first kill > haze,
Psych-up is countered with (Baton pass - Roar.)

Every pokemon in every team, plays its particular role; sweeper, hazer, whatever..

 

[Dee Trier]

I usually only use the sweeper, and some Bpasser/wall. Never use haze, rarely use roar. Because lately i often play multi-battle
Thus i use espy/jolty more often than umby in multi battle because it's either Umby will completely ignored(wait until my partner run out pokemon then attacked umby together) or attacked by both pokemon...

 

[shirokiryuu]

My team mostly consists of sweepers, since i'm better at fighting the computer haha. If I'm going to make my espeon a special sweeper, what should the forth move be? Or should i be more flexible and put a non-special move?

 

[Dee Trier]

Maybe you could try Grass rope. If it mine, i will give either protect/skill swap/baton pass. Btw what gen do you play? I can't comment much for 4rd gen

 

[Felidire]

Do you know if we can do 4 player 2v2 team battles, on pokemon 'd/p' or 'Pokemon battle revolution?'

I haven't bothered finishing my 2v2 team, because I enjoy team battles most.



Psychic, ShadowBall, Calm Mind.
spare move.. It could make good use of Reflect. or hidden power, do you know what hidden power your espeon has?


Edit: Nvm, I just saw 4player battle inside the pokemon center, that's going to be so cool~♥>3

 

[Lt. Surge's Raichu]

Well, maybe it's time for a new topic soon? : 3
I can't come up with one, anyone who can?

 

[Warheart]

I only have one Eevee in Pearl right now, so I'm debating on whether to evolve it to Espeon or Umbreon.

I think, even though in any other case I'd use espeon, I'm gonna take umbreon this time instead, as I already have Banette using psychic-type moves.

An all black espeon would be cool, but it would kinda be a copy of umbreon, so I'd pick all white for it's shiny color, with blue eyes.

 

[RYOUKI]

is a naive natured espeon good??? as i said before i just evolved my espeon..oh and another thing can someone suggest me a good moveset for espeon?3rd gen pls

i still dont have a nintendo ds and cant afford to buy pokemon pearl

It's not a bad nature, but it's not a very good one either.
Just take something basic, i'd give it Psychic/Morning Sun/Sunny Day/Psychic.

Can replace Sunny Day with an offensive-move if you like.

That sounds nice! ^_^ Is it supposed to be like this?

Psychic, ShadowBall, Calm Mind.

Actually I don't. When I first got Leafgreen, I didn't know about IVs, and thus didn't pay any attention to them. ;__;

Hmm.. Reflect sounds good as well, since I don't have any defensive moves....
