Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Leafeon's spread. It leans physical with Defense out front. And you'll get 2 Defense EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When you see Leafeon asleep in a patch of sunshine, you’ll know it is using photosynthesis to produce clean air.
Just like a plant, it uses photosynthesis. As a result, it is always enveloped in clear air.
Leafeon Weakness
Type-wise, Leafeon takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. The Grass typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Leafeon's physical bulk (base 130 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Water, Electric, Grass, Ground |

Leafeon Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Leafeon looks average on paper at 525 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list. Leafblade with Life Orb is the standard set.
Leafeon gets Chlorophyll and Leaf Guard. But Chlorophyll is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Leafeon is leaning toward the physical side (base 110 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 95 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Leafblade, Knock Off, Xscissor, and Protect. Leafblade leads at 21% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Diamond & Pearl, Leafeon has been in 14 games. Requiring an item-based evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
