Strategy Overview

Espeon is a staple on most Baton Pass teams because it is the only non-Mega Pokemon with both Baton Pass and Magic Bounce and the most effective Baton Pass receiver. Access to STAB-boosted Stored Power allows it to sweep teams effectively and efficiently, landing an OHKO on even the bulkiest Pokemon in the metagame with enough boosts, and a decent base Speed of 110 allows it to outspeed most of the metagame with a single Speed boost. However, Espeon should not be used on teams other than those utilizing Baton Pass; Mega Sableye would be a better option if only Magic Bounce is desired.
