Strategy Overview

Leafeon is a fairly powerful wallbreaker for PU with high Attack and Speed, solid coverage options, and access to two excellent boosting moves in Z-Celebrate and Swords Dance. Leafeon's bulk and typing also give it a good matchup versus most defensive Pokemon in PU, including Jellicent, Torterra, Mudsdale, and Regirock. Its defensive presence and access to Knock Off and Synthesis make it a fairly well-rounded Pokemon, allowing it to fit on a wide variety of teams. However, Leafeon is very susceptible to status and vulnerable to all forms of entry hazards, forcing it to choose its switching somewhat carefully. Furthermore, although it's hard to counter defensively, Leafeon is easily offensively checked by most faster Pokemon and has a somewhat awkward defensive typing with a weakness to common Ice- and Flying-types.
