Espeon

Espeon has fur that is able to sense air currents and actually predict its opponents every next move. While it is predicting its opponent's actions the tip of its tail quivers. It can also do this to predict the weather. It is highly loyal to trainers it considers to be worthy.
Espeon is the Psychic-Type Eeveelution. It has low HP, Attack, and Defense stats. But it does have acceptable Sp. Defense. Espeon has high Speed and Sp. Attack stats. You usually go first and have high Sp. Attack stats. That's great, and Espeon may have low Defense, but it's only weak to Ghost, Dark, and Bug-Type moves. In total, there are more Physical Dark, Bug, and Ghost Type moves than Special Dark, Bug, and Ghost-Type moves. So it may seem like a problem. But Espeon can still be a useful Pokemon. At least you have the high Speed stat.
Espeon has many Special STAB attacks to use. Psybeam, Future Sight, Psychic, Synchronise are the best attacks in that category available for Espeon. It can learn Sunny Day and Morning Sun. The move Morning Sun restores your HP based on the weather condition. You gain the most HP with Morning Sun in the Sunny weather condition. Just use Sunny Day to make it sunny and then use Morning Sun to gain HP. Espeon can also use Calm Mind, which, of course, is always useful, especially when coupled with Baton Pass.
Espeon's ability is Synchronize. If it is Burned, Poisoned, or Paralyzed, it passes it on to the opponent. It's really good, especially if you Burn or Poison Espeon with an item like the Toxic Orb or the Flame Orb. Espeon has a new Dream World ability called Magic Bounce. It's a really good ability. Any moves that the opponent uses that changes stats will be bounced back to the opponent instead of you. This counts with moves like Leer, Attract, Stealth Rock, Will 'o' Wisp, many attacks. Go on Serebii.net and go to the Abilitydex. If you select Magic Bounce, you can see all of the moves that are blocked by Magic Bounce.
So Espeon is a pretty satisfying Pokemon, and with only one or two faults, Espeon's looking pretty good right now, and will probably stay like that in the future as well.

Positive Review- The Pokemon is strong, great, used a lot, Pokemon is good overall.

In-Between Review- The Pokemon is okay, not the best, okay, acceptable, has one or two faults, In the Middle.

Yikes Review- The Pokemon is bad, maybe weak, not the best at all, has a few faults, it needs improvement.

STAB- Stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. It's when a Pokemon uses an attack that is the same Type as itself. The move becomes more powerful because the move is the same Type as the user.

Eeveelutions- An evolved form of Eevee.

Staller- A Pokemon that takes up time in battle. They usually use something like Toxic, use an Attack to inflict damage and after that, uses Protect to take up some time, and rely on the Poisoning to defeat the opposing Pokemon. It also counts with Pokemon who use moves like Refresh. Usually a Stalling Pokemon has to have high HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.

Uber- A Pokemon capable of doing a lot of damage, mostly legendaries.

Tiers- Ranks that separate Pokemon into different classes, based on how often they're used and how capable they are in battle. LC is Little Cup, which is mainly unevolved Pokemon, NFE is Not Fully-Evolved, which are Pokemon that have evolved, but aren't fully-evolved, and Limbo are Pokemon being tested out to see how capable they are. To find out more about the main tiers, check out serebii.net, smogon, and Bulbapedia.

Entry Hazards- Things set up by using the moves Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock. These can hurt Pokemon after being set up upon the Pokemon being sent out in the battle. Depending on the Pokemon's typing, they may get hurt a lot. If a Pokemon is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, for example, they lose half of their HP. Spikes can be avoided with levitating or Flying-Type Pokemon. Toxic Spikes poison the opponent's Pokemon when they're sent out into battle. Two sets of them badly poison them.
