Eeveelution: Difference between revisions

'''Vaporeon''', the first of the Eeveelutions in [[National Pokédex]] order, is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Like most other Pokémon of its type, its highest stat is its HP. Evolving from an Eevee that is exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, Vaporeon now has the ability to use the [[HM]] move {{m|Surf}}, among other powerful Water-type moves, to take down its foes. This is particularly advantageous, considering its relatively high {{stat|Special}} stat (and later {{stat|Special Attack}} stat) of 110.

'''Jolteon''' is the second of the Eeveelutions, and is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. Much like Vaporeon exemplifies the Water type's generally high HP, Jolteon exhibits its type's extraordinary Speed. Like Vaporeon, its Special Attack (formerly Special) is its second-highest stat, making it a good choice as an Electric type in games prior to [[Generation IV]].

The final member of [[Generation I]]'s Eeveelution trio is '''Flareon''', a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, evolving from Eevee when it is exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. Flareon's highest stat is its Attack. However, this high Attack is not without its drawbacks: many of the moves that Flareon learns are [[special move]]s, and since, unlike Vaporeon and Jolteon, Flareon fell on the other side of the Special split, its formerly formidable Special became its Special Defense; its Special Attack is somewhat lower. In addition, it learns only two physical [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] moves, {{m|Fire Fang}} and {{m|Flame Charge}}, both of which have moderately low [[power]].

'''Umbreon''' is the second of the two [[Generation II]] Eeveelutions, a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon. Somewhat uniquely, it was the only pure Dark-type in the generation it was introduced in, and also uniquely, is the only Eeveelution better suited to defending rather than attacking. With its two highest stats in Special Defense and Defense, respectively, and its two lowest in the respective offensive stats, Umbreon is much more often used to cause status problems than damage. Umbreon evolves from Eevee when it gains a level during the nighttime with maximum friendship.

{{DL|Fake Pokémon|Previously false assumptions|A Pokémon often theorized and hoped for}} over the history of the franchise, '''Leafeon''', was finally the realization of the {{type2|Grass}} evolution of Eevee. Like Flareon, Leafeon has a relatively high Attack stat, however, its strongest stat is in Defense. Unlike Flareon, it has a diverse movepool, with the rare {{m|Leaf Blade}} counted among its STAB moves. As with the [[Generation II]] Eeveelutions, Leafeon takes on a new manner of evolution: when an Eevee is leveled up where [[Moss Rock|a large, mossy rock]] lies, it will evolve into this Pokémon.

'''Glaceon''' is an {{type2|Ice}} evolution of Eevee. Like Espeon, its highest stat is its Special Attack; however, unlike Espeon, it has a higher defense, a common trait among other Ice types. Similarly to Flareon's problem with physical moves, it has a relatively small movepool to work with regarding special moves. Glaceon evolves from Eevee when it is leveled up where [[Ice Rock|an ice-covered rock]] lies.

* Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another. Flareon and Jolteon are weak to {{type|Ground}} moves, Espeon, Umbreon and Leafeon are weak to {{type2|Bug}} moves, Umbreon and Glaceon are weak to {{type2|Fighting}} moves, and Leafeon and Glaceon are weak to {{type2|Fire}} moves.
