Eevee just provides too many choices.

I'm plaing Pokemon Platinum and I'm trying to figure out what I should evolve my Eevee into. I chose Piplup as my starter so Vaporeon isn't a choice. I plan on picking up a Houndour on Route 214 so I won't need Flareon, but am still considering Umbreon I'm currently using Rotom as the electric member of my party, but I am not sure wheather I will/should keep him. I never have found ice-type pokemon that great, sorry Glaceon. So choices are:

Leafeon
Umbreon
Espeon

Which Eevee evolutions are your favorites? This is my first experience with Leafeon. Which one do you think is the strongest and has the best attacks for its type?

whatever you do...do not pick Flareon!

Sounds like you are not a fan of Flareon.

Siunds like you are not a fan of Flareon.

Espeon is pretty awesome. Fast, really strong special attacker, but frail. Irons would definitely be helpful.

Umbreon is a good Pokemon, but is more defense-oriented.

Flareon is crappy.

I just caught the Lake Trio, and I'm severely disappointed! I'm keeping my Espeon as my Psychic Pokemon!

I don't even know what you're talking about. :P

I'm never playing online, so it doesn't matter.

[QUOTE="KurodaMurasaki"]

[QUOTE="Hegna1"] Irons are an awful choice for espeon. Why would you give it EVs in defense, it's not going to survive any strong hits anyway. It would be much more beneficial to put EVs in speed and special attack and sweep away.meiaman

Well I don't really know what EVs are... I thought it just increases the defense...?

Ooh, I have a feeling that the rest of this thread will be spent flaming me.

[QUOTE="meiaman"] That explain the horrible suggestion. No offense kuroda. ;)Hegna1

Ah I see. That makes sense, thanks.

I SAY YOU JUST GET LEAFEON AND TRY TO TRADE FOR GLACEON AND ESPEON

Umbrion or however you spell it

gotta go with umbreon, because they straight up isnt a sweeter dark pokemon, or many cooler pokemon of any type!

Do what I did. Breed your eevee with a shiny ditto and make yourself an army of different evolved eevee's :)

either leafeon or espeon. on another note, rotom sucks. do NOT use it as your electric.

Really? Could you explain? It used to do me wonders, but now I just use a dual-type for flying/electric.

Really? Could you explain? It used to do me wonders, but now I just use a dual-type for flying/electric.

base stats: HP:50 (very low) ATK:50 (same) DEF:77(low) S.ATK:95 (usable, not great, but its decent) S.DEF:77 (low) SPD:91 (not to slow, but not fast enough to outspeed alot either)

theres your problem. low defenses and lower hp means it cant take a hit. its special attack is usable, but its still much lower than alot of special attackers out there, and many of them have higher speeds.

in conclusion, it only has 2 worthwhile stats, which are lower than many other special attackers you could be using.

Umbreon fails, Leafeon is a more worthwhile choice.
