>Every Eeveelution gets a new second ability>Vaporeon gets Drizzle>Flareon gets Drought>Jolteon gets Electric Surge>Espeon gets Psychic Surge>Umbreon gets Poison Heal>Leafeon gets Grassy Surge>Glaceon gets Snow Warning>Sylveon gets Misty SurgeDo any of them become OU viable?
>>58522566Umbreon gets Foggy Terrain
>>58522566Literally none of them do.
>>58522566Leafeon with grassy surge can be a genuine threat. Grassy glide coming off 110 base attack is good.
>>58522647Drizzle Vaporeon would be 100% OU viable. And Glaceon would literally be the best snow setter available.
>>58522566Based on their Dex entries>Flareon -> Fur Coat>Jolteon -> Moody>Vaporeon -> Clear Body>Espeon -> Anticipation>Umbreon -> Intimidate>Leafeon -> Sharpness>Glaceon -> Iron Barbs>Sylveon -> Unaware
Doesn't matter if they will or not, because you're gonna have to deal with>one retard who thinks the point of this thread is to spam eevee images>another who thinks he has permission to sperg about his jeet bogeyman
>>58522817I'm mean, yeah. I'm gonna post images of Eeveelutions in an Eeveelution thread.
>>58522566>>58522657>>58522688I can't really think of a great reason to use Vaporeon in rain teams over Pelipper. Vaporeon has better bulk and a stronger Hydro Pump but Pelipper has a more versatile kit with more moves to abuse with rain and a better pivot move.Flareon with drought feels a little more worthwhile, you're trading the powerful utility and physical bulk of Torkoal for the immediate threat of a massive Flare Blitz plus special bulk.Assuming the Tapus stay in purgatory, Electric Surge Jolteon is actually insane and singlehandedly makes the playstyle viable. Instant threat of a meaty Rising Voltage, volt switch for pivots, if Paradox Pokemon come back Jolteon is an easy OU viable pick.Espeon is ok, strictly better version of Indeedee but Psychic Terrain isn't a high value terrain unless you really hate priority.Umbreon becomes obnoxiously bulky and effectively immune to status, but it's still pretty strictly a support mon outside of gimmicky stored power sets.Leafeon is a worse Rillaboom, which isn't terrible but means it's UU at best. Still a solid mon.Glaceon is almost good, but losing Aurora Veil just really sucks for it and makes it really struggle to compare to Alola Ninetales.Sylveon would never run Misty Surge over Pixilate.
>>58522817Please be nice to Chappyanon...
>>58522817>jeet bogeymanWho is this referring to?
>>58522566>OU viableJolteon, Espeon, and Sylveon could function in lower viabilities of OU as dollar store variants of the Tapu, assuming this is just about inserting them into the SV metagame. If the Tapu return? Fat chance. There’s nothing they have. The biggest issue with the eeveelutions is really just their abysmal movepools. They can’t do anything effectively anymore without seeing a complete learnset overhaul. >>58522688>Glaceon would literally be the best snow setter available.Completely delusional. There isn’t a single thing Glaceon could do over Ninetales. Snow is only really valuable for veil setting. Ninetales can do that quickly, along with disrupting opponents from setting up by using its strong supportive movepool. At best, it would be a slightly better Abomasnow, due to its higher speed and special attack, but only slightly on account of its shit tier and incredibly predictable movelist. Actual snow teams in the lower tiers would still prefer Vanilluxe.
>>58523641>The biggest issue with the eeveelutions is really just their abysmal movepools.In addition to OP, Eeveelution fathers now have a unique gimmick where they can pass a special move down to a child Eevee, depending on the father's species.>Vaporeon: Hydro Pump>Jolteon: Thunder>Flareon: Flare Blitz>Espeon: Future Sight>Umbreon: Snarl>Leafeon: Leaf Blade>Glaceon: Blizzard>Sylveon: Draining KissDoes that save the Eeveelutions at all?
>>58523087>a better pivot moveJust give Vaporeon Flip Turn, too. Or unban Baton Pass.
>>58524556It does get Flip Turn. Vaporeon just won't do as much damage with it because it's physical unlike Volt Switch
>>58524556>>58524742Vaporeon gets flip turn, and strictly speaking u-turn is superior since it can't be blocked (water immunity, while rare, is something you'll run into more often than rattled).
>>58522566>>Umbreon gets Poison Healthis is actually perfect for Umbreon. Ties into its creation, still lines up with dex entries, makes it perform more optimally for its designated defensive role. I like it a lot. Might not be OU viable but honestly a mon that's immune to status, resists Dark, doesn't mind being knocked off, yeah it might be OU-worthy. Its Fairy, Fighting, and Bug weaknesses REALLY hurt, though.
>>58523087>Sylveon would never run Misty Surge over Pixilatecouldn't it just spam with Misty Explosion instead of Hyper Voice instead? Lower PP but higher base damage (90*1.3*STAB vs 100*1.5*STAB) and all the benefits of misty terrain.
>>58522566Just give them the moves that Partner Eevee had in LGPE. It won't save ALL of them but they'll be far more useable than they are now.
>>58526140>couldn't it just spam with Misty Explosionanon...
>>58523641>Snow is only really valuable for veil setting.Not entirely true, Specs Glaceon would pump out some fat perfect acc Blizzards and would be very difficult for anything physical to one shot with the Snow compounding on it's already beefy defense, especially in Gen IX where it could Tera to really commit to those sheer numbers.That said, they're not fat enough considering this slow ass motherfucker ain't getting a second one off, should do a little better in VGC where Trick Room and Blizzard being spread are big plusses for it, it's bad movepool is irrelevant, it has no business hitting anything else but Blizzard.It's still not good, but it is not even remotely competing with Ninetales here, just being fairly self sufficient in pumping out some of the rawest sheer Ice damage does give it a niche that exists.
Eeveefags deserve death
>>58526470"it's" always means "it is" or "it has", bro.
>>58526140>spam Misty ExplosionI don't think turning your Sylveon into a Jihadist is a good idea...Regardless, Misty Explosion kinda sucks and a Misty Surge Sylveon would be better off being alive and annoying for as long as possible. If you want to see your Sylveon to nuke something out of existence, then Pixilate + Hyper Beam still deals more damage than a boosted Misty Explosion.
>>58527726I was retarded, I didn't realize it caused you to faint. My bad.
>>58529418No one uses Misty Explosion anyway, so it's a forgivable mistake.

Whoops, it has a Chappy now!
>>58523087I mean, Umbreon DID get Toxic back in the SV DLC. Toxic/Wish/Foul Play/Protect or Roar perhaps?
>>58539067been seeing them walking around the city and need to know where I can hut Eevees to get them all
Game Freak should stop fucking around and just give the Eeveeloutions their respective moves from LGPE. Yeah the moves are cracked but thr power creep nowadays is insane
>>58553594Most of those aren't really cracked at all. Wouldn't do Glaceon or Leafeon any good especially.
>>58554430leafeon wouldn't mind the auto-seed, it's just a better leaf blade after all. Depends on if you're running sunny day or sd leafeon I guess.
>>58553594If they bring the moves back, they need to get rid of the retarded baby names

>>58522566>>Umbreon getsCloudnine, to ignore weather because umbreon doesn't give a fuck.
We really do need that Sand Stream Rock-type Eeveelution...
Why not Umbreon summon the moon and all moves that benefit from moonlight no longer benefit from sunlight?
Look how cute this dog is
>>58522566No>Drizzle VaporeonStill far, FAR outclassed by Pelipper as a rain setter, like you do not understand how fucking bonkers crazy Pelipper is as a whole package, Flying type that gives it immunity to spikes and EQ, 100% accurate STAB Hurricane, U-Turn, Defog and probably so much more i don't remember that Vaporeon will never ever match up to, not even being a wishpassing rain setter can make Vaporeon less of a bitch to Pelipper>Drought FlareonSun is not how you fix Flareon, Flareon is just unfixable foundamentally and it's the same as above, Torkoal > Flareon as a sun setter>E.Surge JolteonTapu Koko is still the better mon for this shit, but at the very least, Jolteon with E.Surge is guaranteed UU>P.Surge EspeonWorse than regular Espeon but this is under the pretext that Espeon is the baton pass superglue with Magic Bounce. Could be a fun alternative like a faster Lele, but you're not hitting Lele numbers>Poison Heal UmbreonWould be fun but i doubt stall would adopt a very fucking passive mon like Umbreon>G.Surge LeafeonIf you give it monki slide, sure, but you're not outperforming Rillaboom>Snow GlaceonThis mon is still shit no matter how you spin the bottle, Snow has not fixed the part that SLOW DEFENSIVE ICE-TYPE IS SHIT>Misty Surge SylveonI'd argue Misty Surge should be Vaporeon's ability than Sylveon but that'd be worse Fini, either way you're not getting much utility out of Sylveon as a Misty setter
>>58524121>Passing Blizzard and not IcebeamThen again i think Vaporeon already learns Icebeam from TM's
>>58553594Some of these moves would be better on better mons. BB would be bonkers on fast dark types like Weavile, but Umbreon is both slow and weak so reducing attack is not going to mean shit after taking a hit (Sure Umbreon can tank but not that well)
>>58522566Probably Umbreon
>>58608772Vaporeon learns both Blizzard and Ice Beam from TMs
>>58522566drizzle vaporeon would be absolutely insane, the other drizzlers have dogshit stats and mediocre movepools compared to vaporeonumbreon poison heal would actually be really strong he is super tanky and has a great utility movepool, i can see this actually boosting him up a lotflareon drought is interesting, while his utility movepool is mediocre compared to the other 2 drought mons he packs a mean punch with 130 attack so i feel like he'd be a sidegrade to them instead of strictly worseglaceon's movepool is much worse than ninetales-a's but there's a catch, glaceon's much tankier (can make use of the x1.5 def from snow) and can do very serious damage with her high SpA, so i feel like it's not strictly worse, it could be workablethe surges don't help any of the pokemon in a significant way (if anything, you'd still prefer pixilate and magic bounce over them) besides leafeon as you can teach it grassy slide, but even then it would be an almost strictly worse rillaboom
>>58522566>Leafeon gets Grassy Surgedoes it get grassy glide? Because its attack stat is 110 so setting up grassy surge and spamming grassy glide would make it a worse slightly worse rillaboom and he did really well
>>58522566>Vaporeon: Regenerator>Jolteon: Speed Boost>Flareon: Fur Coat>Espeon: Dazzling>Umbreon: Poison Heal>Leafeon: Sharpness>Glaceon: Filter>Sylveon: Magic Guard
