Strategy Overview
Espeon has high Speed and Special Attack, making her an excellent sweeper and Baton Passer. Access to great support moves such as Wish, Baton Pass, Reflect, Light Screen, and Trick make her an excellent teammate, especially when she can easily lure in special walls onto whom she can Trick her Choice item. Synchronize deters status users from attempting to cripple Espeon, as the same status will also be inflicted on them. Espeon's major downfall is her horrible Defense, making her vulnerable to physical Dark-type moves, particularly Pursuit and Sucker Punch. Although Espeon faces stiff competition from Alakazam, Baton Pass and Wish make her a unique Psychic-type who can support the team while still dishing out powerful attacks. When using Espeon, just be sure to cover her weaknesses and avoid Pursuit users, and you'll find you have a powerful and useful Pokemon on your hands.
