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.
Gigantamax energy upped the fluffiness of the fur around Eevee’s neck. The fur will envelop a foe, capturing its body and captivating its mind.
Having gotten even friendlier and more innocent, Eevee tries to play with anyone around, only to end up crushing them with its immense body.
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.
