PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Confusion deals superior DPS, but dodge-inclined players may prefer Zen Headbutt.

  • Psychic is the optimal choice by every relevant metric.

  • Future Sight hits hard, but is inferior to Psychic in practice.

  • Psybeam is the inferior option.

  • Last Resort performs close to Future Sight in neutral scenarios and makes Espeon a decent generalist in partly cloudy weather, but isn't super effective against anything.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Confusion can pile on the hurt with its high base power.

  • Psychic or Last Resort are preferred to Psybeam and Future Sight due to stronger performance.

PVE Overview

Espeon’s arsenal of Psychic-type moves proves to be a valuable asset, both in Fighting-type raids and as a generalist. In the absence of viable Flying-types, Espeon is the good old reliable Machamp counter, while also contributing to Poison-type raids such as Gengar or Venusaur.

Espeon’s impressive Attack stat is enough to turn heads, but its success is more due to the accessibility of Eevee in comparison to other Psychic-types. Those without Mewtwo (and they are many) can fall back on a staple that is much more easily attainable than Alakazam or Gardevoir.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Confusion+Psychic and Last Resort

Confusion is a definite advantage for any Pokemon that has it, and Espeon is no exception. It  has 4 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 3 EPT (Energy Per Turn), allowing it to deal solid damage to anything that doesn't resist it. Psyshic  (90 Power/55 Energy) is Espeon's STAB move of choice, hitting hard at a reasonable cost. Last Resort (90 Power/55 Energy) has with lower damage because it lacks STAB, but it also gives Espeon its only non-Psychic type attack option.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 0 / 5

Espeon's stats are just not very well distributed for PVP. It fails to have much of an impact on the meta, and probably shouldn't be used.

Ultra League: 0 / 5

See Great League.

Master League: 0 / 5

At least here Espeon's strong attack and good moves can allow it to deliver some solid pain, but it's unlikely to get off much by way of charged moves.
