4th Gen Umbreon or Espeon

[TheFuturePokemon]

Ok, I'm playing Platinum. I have 1 Eevee and I want to evolve it to either Umbreon or Espeon. Which one would be better?

Vaporeon. Has the best hp stat, and is a pretty good tank.

Well I already have a Powerful Water Type Pokemon so I don't really need it.

For in-game, espeon is better.
It hits harder and has better movepool.

 

[shininglatios217]

Follow polkop's advice, I have trained both Espeon and Umbreon and while Umbreon has better Sp. Defense and Defense, it has a horrible movepool.

 

[Skaterzpenguin]

I say espeon cuz I had one back in the day in diamond and it kick sum but !! lol

 

[Aether★]

Espeon definitely, better moveset, Psychic, can learn Calm Mind, easier to play and nice Sp. atk

 

[Magby]

Although my answer will be a little biased (Espeon is my favorite all-time Pokemon), I would also say go with the Sp. Atk direction. While Umbreon is a surprising tank, Espeon packs a powerful (non physical) punch lol.

 

[Charizard★]

Espeon, its stronger. Not to mention better too.

I personally would pick Espeon, because of what the others have said. However, both of 'em have certain weaknesses (other than Bug), so honestly, pick the one that can balance out your team more, and one you can work with better stragety wise (if you want a staller/tank pokemon, Umbreon is the way to go. Espeon can work as a revenge Pokemon, and - apparently more commonly - a Baton Passer as well).

Espeon. It's movepool is awesome and easier to set up.

 

[Weavile05]

Espeon, when you get enough shards, it can cover it's dark type weakness with Signal Beam. Plus, even if you can't get it to a high enough level to learn Psychic by the E4, Psybeam is still 120 power with stab.

 

[King Gumball]

I like Espeon the best. And I prefer it for battling.

 

[Perriechu]

For Ingame Espeon, no uses tanks ect... ingame, for Competitive battling Umbreon being OU and Espeon NU

 

[Petemon]

for tacktical porpuses pick UMBREON because
1.It will help againt Lucian in the E4
2.It can learn good moves Bite,Crunch,NASTY PLOT,Dark Plot,Shadow Ball, ECT.
3.IKA

 

[Chad -]

I like Dark Pokemon more, so Umbreon. xD

 

[Abyssumi]

depends what you need really.

sweeper=espeon
wall=umbreon

personally i like them equally but espeon tends to be more useful

 

[KillerX]

Espeon, better moves and stronger than umbreon.

 

[JackGamer]

Umbreon.

[GaXeL]

Umbreon. Lots of hp + Double team = doom
