Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Eevee flexibility. Sp. Def barely edges ahead. But Sp. Atk isn't far off. Tough to catch and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve. Yields 1 Sp. Def EV.
Because its genetic makeup is irregular, it quickly changes its form due to a variety of causes.

Eevee Weakness
