Espeon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Espeon is a psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 525 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 110) and a special attacking profile. Its Synchronize ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Espeon. Build around what Espeon actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
