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]]. | 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}}.

The ability to resist against the mostly-Special Water-type's powerful moves also gives it a slight advantage. | ||

'''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''' is the second of the two [[Generation II]] Eeveelutions, a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

Umbreon evolves from Eevee when it gains a level during the nighttime with maximum friendship. | ||
Like Espeon, Umbreon has the ability {{a|Synchronize}}, causing other Pokémon that attempt to use its defensive, status-causing strategy against it to suffer as well. As a Dark-type, it is also the only Eeveelution whose type has an immunity (to the {{t|Psychic}} type). It alongside Espeon are the [[starter Pokémon]] for [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. | Like Espeon, Umbreon has the ability {{a|Synchronize}}, causing other Pokémon that attempt to use its defensive, status-causing strategy against it to suffer as well.

'''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.
