All Eeveelution Team

X1NF1D3L

I was just wondering, but has anyone made a team of just eeveelutions?

I know this is kind of a stupid idea, but i would like to know, and have help to make one to try on shoddy XD!!!

Thanks
 
I'm sure it's been done. I've faced a few myself. But this is not a very informative thread, as it does not contribute to the metagame. You may want to make your own and post it on the RMT forum. Then get critiqued there. Don't make a new thread for just asking a simple and rather stupid question like this.
 
ITT everyone spends too much time mini-modding.

Yes, it has been done before, but it turns out it's not much of a success most of the time in OU. You just play to their strengths; not saying much since only 3 of their base stats are good.

3? IMO Flareon and Glaceon are the only ones who completely suffer because of stats or movepool or what have you. Glaceon, for me because the speed is just not enough to work with, but in no way is it a dealbreaker. Flareon for obvious reasons fails pretty hard.

Vaporeon and Umbreon both make good sponges/walls, and Vaporeon can hit back pretty well. I'm still shocked sometimes as how well Umbreon can take a hit, even with all the additions in D/P that set him back.

Jolteon and Espeon are good special attackers with good speed that have been consistently good, Leafeon has the potential to be a good Physical attacker and I've seen him do pretty well and know people have had great sucess with him.

The one thing that I feel hinders an eevee-lution team is that they have movepools that are left wanting. Some might say that Espeon's typing hinders him, but I've had success with Hypno, Alakazam, and Gardevoir in OU.

Flareon is the only one who I feel is almost worthless, but you could always run it modest and use it as a Special attacker. If Glaceon and Flareon could trade stats with eachother, I think they'd both be a lot better. Even with 65 base speed.

5 out of 7 who could do well in the right hands isn't bad. It's a gimmick team, you can't expect too much, but I think people underestimate a lot of the eeveelutions.
 
I think this thread could easily be used to discuss the viability of an Eeveelutions team.

Personally lack of movepool out of STAB and Hidden power kills eeveelutions teams quite a bit. Most of the Pokes are predictable and not that hard to counter.

And that's exactly why you don't use them, unless you're battling for fun.
I've yet to be beaten by an Eeveelution team but I guess We can go through the list:

Jolteon: Very fast and good Sp.Att; can be used as an ok special sweeper

Vaporeon: very bulky and good Sp. Att; Good Wish passer as well as Sp. attacker.

Flareon; good attack and decent Sp.Def; movepool really sucks. nuf said. too slow to make an effective CB set out of it.

Espeon:Good Sp.att and good speed; makes a fine sub/CM passer and also has access to nasty plot, whish is a big plus. Nice trait also.

Umbreon: Really Bulky and good HP; nice trait and makes a really good Trap passer. Also curse works well on it.

Leafeon:Good attack and Def; makes a nice BPer with access to Swords Dance, but has a really bad movepool.

Glaceon: Good Sp.Att and Def, But has a really shitty movepool. Fake tears and Wish are pluses though. Too bad it's so slow.
 
leafeons move pool is bad but still get 3 swords dance on it with leaf blades high crit ratio not much going to stop it, plus its defence makes it a nice set up poke, the eevees are best passing bits and pieces to each other calm mind on something low on SPdef acid armour on something low defence.

i use leafeon and love the thing makes a good pysical wall too

Firstly, It'll die before you can pull off 3 SD's.

The fact is: it's movepool is crap. The top attacking physical moves it has access to are leaf blade and Aerial Ace. Return maybe. But they're not good types to attack with since they can't do much to the main threats, and are walled easy. This makes him predictable.

If it had: Ice, Ground, Rock, Electric Even, it would be Really good, but alas it is not. It's best used as a BPer on sunny day teams, or on an Eeveelution tea
 
Leafeon also gets X-Siccor. Bug, Grass and Flying isn't THAT bad. I actually just finished argueing over @ GFaqs. They REALLY hate Eevee teams over there. It's competative or worthless over there. Eevee teams are fun. But, back on topic. If you can get Leafeon to pull off 3 SDs, then yeah, it'll rip it's way through any team. But then again, any Physical attacker with 3 SDs will.

Guess what? This thread is pointless. Eeveelution teams are counterproductive, as are most theme/mono teams.

I assume you mean counterproductive to the Meta-game since you are placing constrictions on your team and it doesn't grow.

If that's what you mean I'd have to agree. But this thread, through the discussion of these teams may lead to people trying out one of them that isn't really used. Leafeon has already been a popular topic in this thread, which may lead to someone trying out a new set with him and then who knows from there.

I have to go pick up a friend, but I was gonna discuss Leafeon and Espeon.

Leaf Blade+ 1 SD would do about 500-600 damage on Blissey, who would possibly stay in and try to IB it to death. I don't have time to do any more calcs, but I'll try later if no one else beats me to it.

The same can be said about any pokemon really... If I get 3 SD's with X pokemon it is going to be hard to stop... You can't really use that as an argument when you are trying to prove a Pokemon is good.

Plus who is going to let you get 3 SD's?

Also Gengar/other fast pokemon with SE move is going to rain on your parade no matter what you do.

Okay; Bug, Grass and Flying aren't too bad, but are outclassed by Ground, Rock, Electric, Dragon(almost no resists) and such.

I run my competitive team on getting Weavile/Garchomp/Deoxys-E as many SD, speed boosts as possible from Jask. It's going like 20-4 on Shoddy. So yea, if you can pull 3 SD on any fast physical sweeper, you'll probably rape at least half their team with that poke alone.
 
I've only played one but I got out all my spikes while he tried to set up. I killed off one of his guys that got the BP and then the spikes just destroyed him =\ wasn't a fun game
 
I remember long ago on NB someone used an entire team of Eeveelutions of the time, and they just set it up as a BP team really. Kind of nifty idea.
 
It sounds like a really cool idea until you realise that they're all pretty much going to be sharing half their moves with every other member of the team, which makes for a cool theme team which won't be competitive.
 
who is going to let leafeon get 2 swords dances? it lets itself get 2-3 swords dances very very easily as its basically a tank ;)
 
Before i totally go into anti-eevee mode, i'd like to ask: What's with all the _____eon love? i've got several friends IRL who claim they only play pokemon because of the Eevee and it's evolutions.

Right. Every Eevee evolution has a stat spread like this: 130/110/95/65/65/60, for a grand total of 525. This means that every _____eon excels SHOULD excel one role, like many other pokemon, but they usually are either outclassed completely, or just plain fail. Here are each one's Base Stats (HP -> Speed)

Jolteon:
65/65/60/110/95/130
Vaporeon:
130/65/60/110/95/65
Flareon:
65/130/60/95/110/65
Espeon:
65/65/60/130/95/110
Umbreon:
95/65/110/60/130/65
Leafeon:
65/110/130/60/65/95
Glaceon:
65/60/110/130/95/65

Right off the bat you can see that this mob are physically vulnerable. You're also rather Mixape/Mixant weak, depending on the server/wifi. The best answer to MixApe is Vaporeon, which is 2-3KO'd by Close Combat, but then you've got a whole 5 other team members to look out for. You're only really viable strategy is Baton Passing, which is shaky at best without Taunt, or attempting a CurseBreon sweep/ToxicShuffling. You're also walled completely by SkarmBliss, and totally royally walled by Cresselia. You're wiped by common things such as SDChomp, Weavile and Gengar, with Shadow Ball Jolteon being the only reliable answer to that bar umbreon.

It's good for a theme team (But who the fuck uses them to great success without a theme such as Stall or Offense?), but if you plan to use it in OU you're either bonkers, Obsessed with Eeveelutions, or an exceptionally good player who's looking for a change of pace. There's better, more viable themes anyway, like weather teams.

Meh I have used teams with like 3 or 4 eeveelutions but a team of all 6 is tough. Flareon is sad, just because it can't even beat those low defensive pokemon. He needs Flare Blitz or at least have Physical Hidden Power and Shadow Ball back.
