Espeon's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Espeon PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Espeon has the highest ATK of all Eeveelutions in Pokémon GO, and it's also quite impressive, at a staggering 261. Backed with powerful moves, Espeon is one of the strongest Psychic-type attackers, surpassed mainly by Legendaries, Megas, and Shadows. Overall, Espeon is a great addition to the PvE meta, coming in handy more often than not.

⚔️ Raids

Espeon is a great Pokémon to use against lower tier Fighting and Poison type Raid Bosses, and also when you're rejoining a lobby filled with Psychic Pokémon. Do note that it is a glass cannon, so dodging is strongly recommended. Its damage output is a little behind Alakazam, but they're more or less the same given that Espeon is somewhat bulkier.

🛡️ Gyms

Espeon is quite fragile and can obviously hit Fighting-type attackers hard but otherwise, it's not advised to use this Eeveelution for Gym defense.

Espeon PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Espeon’s stats are inclined towards offense and the Great League’s CP restrictions limit its viability in this format. Still, its hard-hitting moves give Espeon some breathing room, taking out Fighting types, Poison types, as well as some neat wins like Feraligatr, Talonflame, and Togekiss. It's quite unreliable in the long run though.

🟡 Ultra League

With a higher possibility Fighting- and Poison-type opponents in the Ultra League, Espeon gets more freedom in this format. On the flip side, a surge in Ghost and Dark types is tough on the fragile Espeon. It is particularly good when both shields are up, troubling opponents with high damage and debuffs.

🟣 Master League

Espeon’s flimsy defenses spell doom for it in the Master League. Also, stronger Legendary Psychic-type options exist, leaving Espeon in the dust.
