Espeon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Dazzling Gleam
- Trick
Espeon's excellent speed and power make it an exceptional threat in the RU tier; only a handful of Pokemon can match its 350 Speed, and none of them can compare to its incredible offensive power. A Choice Specs-boosted Psychic can tear through most of the tier; Shadow Ball hits the few Psychic-types that resist its STAB and also gives it a way to hit Steel-types neutrally, while Dazzling Gleam is Espeon's best attack against Dark-types like Scrafty and Drapion. Trick allows Espeon to cripple defensive switch-ins like Porygon2 and Galarian Stunfisk; however, keep in mind that Trick can be blocked by opposing Silvally. Espeon's speed, power, and low physical bulk make it a natural fit for offensive teams. It partners well with other strong, offensive wallbreakers that take advantage of Steel-types and Porygon2; Machamp and Choice Band Golurk thus make for great partners. It also appreciates Silvally-Fairy's ability to take on the Dark-type attacks used to revenge kill Espeon.
