Cyrus Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Sweep/Lead Espeon (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Psychic - Shadow Ball/Focus Blast - Morning Sun Espeon is a great lead just for being able to bounce back Stealth Rocks, Spikes,etc. It can also lead off into a great sweep. Calm Mind is for Build up. Psychic is for STAB, Shadow Ball kills Ghost and other Psychics while Focus Blast kills Darks. Morning Sun is your only recovery and is great against a Sunny Day team.

KidBoo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Really, Espeon is way too frail even with Calm Mind to make good use of Morning Sun unless you're going against Sunny Day, which is not that often. I'd just keep Shadow Ball because Focus Blast has shit Acc and switch Morning Sun with something like Signal Beam to have a higher chance of actually hitting Darks.

Cyrus Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Signal Beam can't be used if your running magic bounce and if you're running a lead espeon there gonna change since spike leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ikaru Posted May 10, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted May 10, 2011 The problem is, Espeon can't learn Focus Blast in the first place... Hidden Power Fighting is the closest you can get. You'd best just use three attacks and Calm Mind. As stated, Espeon isn't... bulky. And consider the abundance of Sandstorm and Rain teams; Morning Sun is even less useful against teams like that. Now, if you're running a Sunny Day team, more power to you, but I wouldn't advise it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonz996 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Calm Mind (ran outta names) Espeon (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Psyshock - Wish - Calm Mind - Hidden Power [Bug] Espeon is fast, which means you either try and get your SpDef up when battling SpAtk-ers or you kill. I choose Psyshock over Psychic since there's so many Chansey/Blisseys going around, use Psychic if you want. Without Signal Beam, you might as well go with HP Bug, since it takes down other Psychic types and Dark types. Dealing neutral damage to Ghosts is pretty alright imo. Wish if you need healing or you wanna heal another Pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Amethyst Posted May 13, 2011 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2011 Which is what I'm saying... It's not neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think he means he's forsaking Shadow Ball's super effective against Ghosts and just using Psyshock for neutral damage against Ghosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Reflect Upon The Rising Sun Espeon (M) @ Light Clay Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 156 HP / 100 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Psychic / Psyshock - Reflect - Light Screen / Hidden Power [Fire] - Morning Sun Espeon is a neat Pokemon. I don't even have to give it any EVs and its Special Attack is almost a tour de force. Anyway, this is what a Screen Espeon might look like. [b]Reflect [/b]allows it to survive a Sucker Punch from Bisharp. [b]Light Screen[/b] raises Special Defense, but more offense might be more desirable under sunlight, which is what this set is designed for (either that or Clear Skies), and thus you'd run [b]Hidden Power [Fire][/b]. You would likely choose between [b]Psychic[/b] or [b]Psyshock[/b] depending on whether you're running that second attack. [b]Morning Sun[/b] heals Espeon's HP nicely, especially under the sun.

Shanco Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 [b][i][u]TRY THIS![/u][/i][/b] Espeon With A Choice Espeon (F) @ Choice Scarf / Choice Specs Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) / Timid Nature (+Spd, Atk) - Psyshock - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power [Fire] / [Fighting] - Hyper Voice Espeon, with its great Special Attack and Speed, allow it to be a sweeper. But have you ever tried Choice items on it? It seems that Espeon's special movepool isn't too impressive, it has enough options that it can hold its own. The obvious choice is the STAB, [b]Psyshock[/b], which gives Espeon to hit threats who are weak physically, such as Blissey. [b]Shadow Ball[/b] erases Pokemon who are weak to that type. [b]Hidden Power [Fire][/b] is a coverage move to erase Pokemon who resist Psychic / Shadow Ball, such as Metagross, Skarmory, and even Genesect if you're running Timid-Scarf, but [b]Hidden Power [Fighting] [/b]is reliable in rain and can take out Heatran. [b]Hyper[/b] [b]Voice[/b], hitting 14 types for neutral damage, is a good fourth move to spam. Here's a small guide to help you decide the nature and choice item.[list] [*]Modest-Specs: 590 SAtk / 318 Spd [*]Modest-Scarf: 393 SAtk / 477 Spd [*]Timid-Specs: 537 SAtk / 349 Spd [*]Timid-Scarf: 358 SAtk / 524 Spd [/list] Use whatever you like most.
