What Is The Best Eeveelution?

Every other generation of the Pokemon games and series has released a new Eeveelution. This leaves us with several different choices that you are able to evolve our beloved Eevee into. So far, and we say so far due to the rumors surrounding Gen 8 release of new Eeveelutions. Currently, there are 8 different choices, including:

1. Jolteon
2. Flareon
3. Vaporeon
4. Glaceon
5. Leafeon
6. Espeon
7. Umbreson
8. Sylveon

But, Which Is Best?

We often hear the ever-popular question, “which one should I evolve it into?” In all honesty, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. So, we intend to do a light breakdown of the different choices, while pointing out their main strengths.

• Highest Attack Goes to Flareon
• Special Defense stats go to Umbreon and Sylveon
• The highest speed is bestowed upon Jolteon
• The greatest Special Attack award is presented to Espeon and Glaceon
• Leafeon has the highest Defense stat
• Vaporeon has the highest HP stat

From the above information, you can easily find an Eeveelution that is best for your specific needs, however we are left with what Eeveelution is actually the best to have on your team.

Although we could sit here a breakdown the formula that makes up the differences and eliminates the weaker links, everything is honestly situational. So, we will be going by a general consensus of the trainers that use the Eeveelutions in both the Pokemon games and competitive play.

Espeon 

Espeon was released in Gen 2, baring the psychic typing. With a strong special attack, and a decent speed, it makes a good sweeper with the ability to out-speed a lot of the competition. However, it isn’t the best, so we shall move on.

Jolteon

One of the original Eeveelutions that were introduced in the 1^st generation of Pokemon. Said to be one of the top electric types in the Pokemon games, it is almost unmatched in Speed and Special attack, with a really decent movepool and learnset. Debilitating potential with thunder wave, and the ability to learn toxic. This spikey furred cutie is shockingly number 2 in out line up.

Honorable Mention

The honorable mention goes to Umbreon, one of the first available dark types in the Gen 2 Pokemon games. This majestic looking Pokemon is a beastly wall that can slowly whittle the health of its opponents.

Sylveon

This fairy-type Pokemon was released in Gen 6. What puts it to the top of our list is its immunity and strength against dragon-type Pokemon. Dragon types are overused, creating an open field for Sylveon’s beautiful movepool and power.

Conclusion

Though these top 3 are only our opinions, and should no way coerce you into evolving your Eevee into one of them, they are great to consider in your quest to be the Pokemon master. These three were picked due to their versatility in both the Pokemon games and competitive play.
