Strategy Overview
Leafeon is a rather unique threat in the RU metagame. Its interesting stat spread makes it a formidable Swords Dance passer, and it is a good check to several top threats in the metagame such as Kabutops and Substitute + Calm Mind Uxie, which means that it has many opportunities to switch in and work its magic. Its good base 95 Speed stat also makes it well-suited to this role, allowing it to Baton Pass out of many slower threats. That being said, Leafeon is not versatile and is limited in the actual damage that it can do itself. Its movepool is pitiful, and Pokemon with Grass-type resistances are everywhere. Also, it requires support that only a handful of Pokemon can actually provide in order to bring out its full potential. This means that a lot of teams with Leafeon end up looking rather similar. Don't just look Leafeon over and use Sawsbuck instead, though, as Leafeon is not outclassed in this role and its effectiveness might just surprise you.
