Strategy Overview
While Espeon is certainly nothing to laugh at with its Magic Bounce ability, the Dream World metagame provides many threats, such as Genesect and Excadrill, that give it a hard time. However, that is not to say that the Sun Pokemon is unusable. In fact, given the correct support, Espeon can really shine, and it has the potential to sweep whole teams. Espeon can also be used as a decent supporter thanks to its large supporting movepool and high base Speed. While the big guns of the Dream World might harass it, Espeon should never be underestimated unless one wants to get swept.
