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.
Possessing an unbalanced and unstable genetic makeup, it conceals many possible evolutions.
Current studies show it can evolve into an incredible eight different species of Pokémon.
Eevee Weakness
Fighting moves hit Eevee for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Just 1 weak spot to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.

Sun & Moon Eevee Best Moveset
Eevee hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Careful nature with HP-heavy investment EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Adaptability adds utility.
