So I tried an EEVEELUTION team... • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

In this video, I try out a Regulation C team that features FIVE different Eeveelutions in Sylveon, Leafeon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Umbreon!

[@leminator13]

Chi-yu, my favourite eeveelution.

[@insomniaccity]

You misspelled "Chiyueon"

[@rileyp3707]

Chiyeon

[@swatson5699]

That’s Paldean Flareon

[@bdellovibrioo5242]

Eevee of Ruin.

[@tristanelma8245]

5:01 chi-yu and "flutter mane", my favorite eeveelution combo

[@dereksimmons5877]

I think if two eeveelutions are next to each other on the field they should get a buff

[@phgo91vga]

Could be an Eevee HA, we had the cute, but useless, Eevee Gigantamax... if it had a overpowered support HA, buffing the partner eeveelution could be interesting

[@nicolle2126]

especially if it were an espeon and umbreon

[@Spazmattic]

@@nicolle2126 throwback to colosseum

[@yemoochy9553]

Helping hand

[@aaronsmith5947]

​@@SpazmatticI immediately thought of this lol

[@Shadfillet]

I'd wanna buff Chi-Yu as I think it's the weakest of the Eeveelutions It doesn't even have ears, so I think it should get the ability soundproof to counter all the Palafins running boomburst

[@pateras_siderompounias]

I love teams that are more on the niche side, they require a combination of skill and innovation that makes them very fun to watch

[@ZephirDoW]

Just giving Trick Room to Umbreon would increase his presence massively. A prankster immune, Fake Out immune, very tanky setter with decent enough supporting moves to pressure.

[@Itsfayd]

same with sylveon, give her Trick Room since she’s on the slower side already

[@sonicbladex12]

​@@Itsfayd Does Sylveon need more presence though?

[@lxchris5252]

​@@sonicbladex12No but a sylveon that can attack first got me like :))

[@DonYagamoth]

To answer the question at 37:45 - "Would Vital Spirit block Yawn immediately?" In fact, in just your previous video with Dachsbun, at 19:53 in that video, you had that interaction: It blocks the Yawn immediately. However, worth noting - on Pokémon Showdown, there's currently a difference on how it works, since it applies the "Drowsy" status, and then just removes it the next turn on a mon with Vital Spirit, with no message in the chatlog

[@dport9421]

i'd love for Leafeon to get flower trick, and Jolteon to get lighting rod as an ability

[@ramanahveljeyaseelan5406]

Leafeon somewhat does. Infact I'd agrue its grass type moves are better tha grass cat.

[@Johten]

​@@ramanahveljeyaseelan5406 nah They took solar blade from it this game

[@dport9421]

@Johten yeah without solar blade, leaf blade is its best option for grass STAB. Giving it access to flower trick would be great as it would hit way harder with the guaranteed crit, it would definitely be a slower and more frail meowscarada, but it's a much needed upgrade imo

[@Johten]

@@dport9421 I just want solar blade back LOL

[@sumisu_senpai_6280]

You got your wish@@Johten

[@daniellocklear5908]

I feel like they should’ve made a unique move to all Eeveelutions like how starters get the Pledge moves, just have it be a move that works if you have a different Eeveelution next to you.

[@Olaznog96]

Hello Aaron, thak you for the content. PS: I know it may be a bit not cool to ask, but in case you want feedback, i love the new style of videos, with the team overview, at the begining, however, im missing a lot having two videos with each team. I enjoyed the process of getting a feeling of the team, and process it in the back to see the next day the second part in which i actively think of more strategies.

[@algar6616]

You’re a good citizen

[@Mr.Quinge_Twilight]

I’d love to see Leafeon get a buff, it’s already pretty decent, but if it got access to Solar Blade, and maybe solar power/chlorophyll, I think it’d make a great addition to sun teams

[@aurioh]

Did it lose Solar Blade in SV? I used it on low tier sun teams in singles last gen

[@DR-gd3ix]

@@aurioh leafeon lost solar blade apparently, yeah

[@DR-gd3ix]

leafeon has chlorophyll

[@Mr.Quinge_Twilight]

Yeah I just noticed xD, but still, if it had solar blade it’d be a lot better, maybe if it got some stat buffs too, or just access to Solar power

[@cutthroat795]

Both of its abilities are activated by sun… this thing is only run on sun teams.

[@oldschooltcg]

To buff Glaceon I feel that it should get slush rush as an ability.

[@baron_quantavious_zinglenut_vi]

A Pokémon with faster and stronger blizzards and icy winds than bundle in snow sounds terrifying and as an ice type enjoyer I love it. It’d also be deceptively physically tanky with the natural defense stat plus snow boost. Pretty much just bundle v2 lol

[@Franco5151]

Give Umbreon intimidate

[@lekoe961]

I always love seeing Leafeon on a team. Since all the Eeveelutions got Calm Mind this gen I built a silly special Leafeon set next to Torkoal with Solar Beam because for some reason you cant do the same thing physical because it doesnt get Solar Blade

[@mercury3924]

Aaron always putting up the best content and showing love to all these unique teams! You've inspired me to do the same. Thanks man

[@reallysprin]

So excited to see this, I'm basing my IC team this week on this!

[@Mossbergg]

the last game was rough but honestly so impressive all the games working with this team, very well played regardless

[@gabebaum6527]

QoTD: Rather than pick one, I'm gonna buff them all in one fell swoop. I think changing one of the base 65 stats to a base 80. It would help make them bulkier or speedier, and just help all of them with their overall viability imo.

[@gabebaum6527]

It also allows for more permutations of stat arrangements for future eeveelutions

[@mattcridd2]

Omg was just about to go to sleep without any pokemon in the background!! Thanks Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng!

[@wario1226]

Flareon was sick, that's your substitute teacher: Mr. Fish

[@JJSSBU]

QOTD: I would make each Eeveelution get an ability that helps with type-based synergies. Drizzle, ESurge, Drought, PSurge, Dark Aura, Snow Warning, GSurge and Fairy Aura Btw, this idea isn't mine, it is from Pokémon Sweltering Sun

[@benjaminurquhart]

QOTD: as someone who made an eeveelution team for series 1/2, the one thing I really missed was redirection. If I could have follow me umbreon or rage powder leafeon, it would have made it so much easier to use. A close second would be a slightly larger movepool. Since most eeveelutions usually only get a few moves related to their type along with eevee's moves, they tend to struggle with coverage options. For example, the only moves leafeon can hit steel with are bite and double kick (technically also shadow ball but that’s a special move). In this generation, tera blast can help but it’s not ideal.

[@BoibiTheWeak]

QOTD: I would want Glaceon to have Slush Rush over Snow Cloak. We don't have a special attacker with Slush Rush so it could fill a niche on snow teams. Flareon needs a lot of love. Giving Guts to a Fire pokemon was a mean joke. It also needs better move coverage, like maybe Solar Blade since it's pokedex entry keeps mentioning it storing energy. I would also give it Rock Head or any of the bite moves.

[@Blood_Ronin]

It finally happened yall. So Hyped to watch this one! Now if only we could get Ghost and dragon Eeveelutions. Also give this mana sub yall. He is so close to 200k!

[@obey_giant]

And a normal eeveelution 😩🙏🏼

[@ramanahveljeyaseelan5406]

​@@obey_giant actually a normal eveeelution would ruin what makes evee so special in gen 7.

[@MegaBlitzo]

I love how nonchalantly Aaron can win with even the most niche of teams. Great video as always Aaron, love the team!

[@ShadowGamingXxx]

HAHAHAH, THIS IS WONDERFUL! I'm currently using a Vaporeon on my team to wall Palafin. It's nice special attack and hp are wonderful, especially with water absorb.

[@shivamnarayan1450]

Flareon: You took everything from me. Chi-Yu: I don't even know who you are?

[@GuardianDiancie]

I have been waiting for you to try an all Eeveelution team I decided to see check what was new on KZbin, before bed. Saw that you uploaded a video. My mood right now “Who needs sleep, sure not me”

[@nicholasalexander9866]

This looks fun, looking forward to this video

[@fhyr9449]

I want to see a triple moth team that uses volcarona, slither wing and iron moth QOTD: sylveon with boomburst >:)

[@codyyoung2550]

Get so hyped every time you upload!!

[@RedTotey]

I would love Leafeon to get a buff to its coverage options. Moves such as Aqua Tail, Night Slash, or Play Rough all make enough sense for it to learn and would also allow it to hit many more things supereffectively

[@bdellovibrioo5242]

My favorite Eeveelution is Flareon. It would take a lot to make it good in VGC. Unless it were to receive an enormous speed buff, I think I'd give it more bulk on the physical side so that it could have a potential niche as a set up physical sweeper under Trick Room.

[@Dunco64]

it's so weird that you faced bulk up scream tail cause i was just experimenting with that in UU singles and it's surprisingly better than i expected

[@DRUNK__SOULS]

Just finished catching the shinies of all the Eeveelutions. Timing couldn’t be better :D

[@themilesmeyer]

I love this video cuz I’ve been running this team all week

[@saintxix1309]

Lol @ the thumbnail. Sylveon looks so happy to be there. 😅

[@andruberriosbuzura7835]

I was wondering which one would be the sixth eeveelution from the thumbnail and laughed really loud when I found out it was Chi-Yu 😂

[@Ninad3204]

Vaporeon should get Water Bubble as a ability. Water absorb just doesn't do enough, and a boost to water stab like 1.3x from pixilate would be nice.

[@0videoboy0]

Penny would be proud!

[@gerbrandtrademeyer6657]

Chi-yu : "It is day 23 they still do not know."

[@Umbreon0]

They could give Eevee and its evolutions a signature move that mimics their current type, hits specially (since they're all typed around OG special types before the split), and uses their highest current stat in the damage calculation; sort of like a weird cross between Tera Blast and Photon Geyser, but taking ALL stats into consideration to work well on any Eevee evolution. Alternatively, the move could instead match type and increase your lowest stat by 2 stages? That could really help patch up bad Speed or Defenses that hold a few of these mons back. They should also give them back some of the good moves they've lost over time (Umbreon's Toxic, Vaporeon's Flip Turn, Leafeon's Solar Blade, etc.) Good, (mostly) thematic abilities to add or replace bad ones: Eevee - Friend Guard, Prankster, Costar Vaporeon - Storm Drain, Drizzle, Marvel Scale, Regenerator Jolteon - Electric Surge, Lightning Rod, Galvanize Flareon - Drought, Fur Coat, Thermal Exchange, Sheer Force Espeon - Psychic Surge, Opportunist, Competitive Umbreon - Shadow Tag, Oblivious, Filter Leafeon - Grassy Surge, Sharpness, Seed Sower Glaceon - Snow Warning, Refrigerate, Slush Rush Sylveon - Misty Surge, Sweet Veil, Dancer

[@coquecoke2976]

QODT: for all eeveelution Vaporeon = Flip turn Jolteon = snarl and electroweb Flareon = Close combat and rock slide Espeon = Mystical fire and aura sphere Umbreon = Sludge bomb and u turn Leafeon = Close combat and acrobatics Glaceon = Change ice body for slush Rush, and Dark Pulse Sylveon = give it back mystical fire, universal moves or egg moves = fake out, agility, swords dance, nasty plot, bulk up, taunt and feint

[@johnes]

When this video came out yesterday I clicked just to see what the full team was but I didn’t watch much. This morning on ladder I came across the team and thought : dang it it I had watched the video I would know what to expect. It ended up being a pretty easy win on my end tho.

[@ben_mxller]

I'm a simple man, I see eeveelutions, I click. (honestly I also always click on any cybertron video lol)

[@user-nk3ku3pw6p]

I think the Eeveelutions need their own signature move!

[@slowstartpokemon8652]

The Eevee in let’s go eevee could get all sorts of (overpowered) unique moves. They could rework some of those to be learnt on evolve.

[@sangragcholsaranon9942]

QOTD: give Flareon drought lol... (I know... it's weird) now eeveelution team will have sun and chlorophyll

[@sethsevaroth]

QOTD: Give Espeon an ability that sets/reverses trick room when it hits the field. Have it function like drought and active after every swap and let chaos reign or nerf it by making it only occur once per battle.

[@supersaiyaneevee1573]

Flareon and Glaceon are so far behind the rest of the pack. For Flareon, i think switching its special attack with either its speed or hp would be nice. But it also needs some good physical fire attack. Im thinking an extreme speed like attack but fire type. Glaceon is similar, just too slow and frail. Maybe having snow warning as a new ability for it. Maybe with Aurora Veil and (again) another extreme speed like attack but special and ice type. Or maybe a healing move and a move to increase speed, like agility but something more thematically better. As im typing this, i was thinking it what if Eevee had a special ability, like rockruff, and it evolves into eeveelutions with abilities like rain dance, electric terrain, sunny day, etc.

[@FoundxGaming]

Ah yes, my favorite eeveelution: Chi-Yu

[@minedex7279]

Great vid

[@joshuastahl8071]

I feel like Throat Chop should stop Yawn too… game 2 is why I mention this. I was shook for a second until you got that Yawn off.

[@UNCizme]

One thing about me, I will ALWAYS watch an eeveeloution video

[@umadachi]

Glaceon could probably see like overnight benefits in vgc if it got slush rush, then maybe freeze dry and surf to round out whatever spread blizzards don't do

[@appledingdong3736]

Baton pass scream tail is a real threat, it works with howl bulk up or calm mind. I think the scream tail in the first battle might have been trying to do that but might not have recognized the yawn pressure? Also give Jolteon lightning rod over volt absorb, there aren't really any electric types in the meta but once there are it would have a niche in countering those.

[@f7forever]

Evoboost returns as an omni-boost move for all eeveelutions, but with a drawback; similar to Clangorous Soul or No Retreat. Alternatively they get the Mew/Smeargol treatment and are able to learn every move from their respective type.

[@apeckx5090]

I'd love to see an Eeveelution only tournament someday

[@Blazing77Star]

First!! Hi aaron, love your videos. They are so much fun tu watch and all the analisis you give us is so wonderfull. Ill keep ok watching and supporting ;)

[@ImRyo]

I think I would buff the eeveelutions by giving them weather and terrain abilities as well. Glaceon for example could then work as a pretty physically bulky hail setter that doesn't have a 4x weakness to fire.

[@eliana_d]

that leafeon set is really cool

[@emiltrydegard8848]

I think a cool idea would be to give the eeveelutions Moves similar to grass/water/fire pledge because it would incentivize using them together. Another idea is giving them a move like oricorios revalation dance since most of them are lacking good stab without drawbacks like flare blitz

[@carlanthonydelosangeles7411]

Love it!

[@cyrleaozora4173]

Vital Spirit does block yawn and will let you know if it blocked it on the turn you used the yawn.

[@insertnameheretf]

It feels weird that Sylveon is the only Eeveelution that is able to get an ability like Pixilate. Give the others the equivalent!

[@andrewwagner7363]

Grass pixilate double edge leafeon though? Or the same with Flareon? After tailwind it would be crazy strong

[@bengoodwin2141]

To buff all the eeveelutions, I'd give them all a move called Evo-blast or something like that, which is a 100 base power, 100 accuracy move that copies the primary typing of the user and uses physical or special attack, whichever is higher. Basically a better terra blast that works without terastalizing. Also, flareon should get something to make it more like the goldfish, plus stat buffs and better abilities

[@AlanBIllustration]

I left a Lycanroc on the video, hope it helps out a Tinkaton ;)

[@KeebyMK]

If I were to buff any of the Eeveelutions... well, all of them deserve to be better (perhaps a signature move that has a specialized effect depending on the Eeveelution using it), but I'd focus on my favourite, Glaceon, and Flareon, the forever butt-monkey. I'd give Glaceon Slush Rush instead of Ice Body as HA (to match Leafeon's Chlorophyll) and move the 110 Def into Speed, then swap the SpDef with HP. A true glass cannon ice type instead of a "tanky" ice type. Flareon I'd also swap SpDef with Speed, and then make the SpA the HP stat. Basically physical Glaceon's stats lmao. Also give it a good physical Fire STAB. Something like Fire Lash or Blaze Kick (or perhaps the signature move idea above that gives it a 100BP 100Acc PhysFire move).

[@WhiteWingedNightmare]

I laughed when I saw Chi-Yu. Poor Glaceon

[@leminator13]

37:40 yes the ability pops up when you use yawn

[@kingyveltal1623]

I can back that up, vital spirit blocks the animation from even happening

[@algar6616]

Yo Aaron, vital spirit blocks yawn immediately; i remember from one of the last couple episodes of road to ranked

[@smookjdp]

I’d actually like to see a Flying Eeveelution that also has access to Tailwind. That could help with some of the speed.

[@slayworldalbania]

poor flareon 😢

[@PtylerBeats]

Flareon needs a buff. Like, more hp and defense stats or give it fur coat, give it some good physical fire moves other than flair blitz, give it some good ground moves like earthquake, bulldoze, or stomping tantrum, maybe even a setup move like swords dance or howl would be useful as well. I don’t know exactly what it needs, I just know it’s frail and it doesn’t have a ton of damage output and it’s slow lol so either increasing its defenses and making it a wall or offenses and making it a sweeper

[@scottcrysel]

This is the wackiness that makes the GC so fun (and infuriating 😅 )

[@angelicarose4392]

Vaporeon buff could be cool. Add a little bit more into speed and/or defenses ad give it freeze dry

[@taylorpirkle587]

Chi-yu seems like the pet fish for the evveelutions

[@huubinhle6891]

QOTD: if Glaceon get recover could make it a good end game pokemon with calm mind and giving it either slush rush or just a non snow related ability like technician for icy wind and chilling water could make it really good with tera

[@jessypressy29]

Id buff Vaporeon by changing its water absorb ability into storm drain, then give it 10-20 base stat points in phy DEF. Either by taking from speed and attack stat, or just a straight buff of stats.

[@etrainfsb]

QOTD: Give them all calm mind, bulk up, nasty polt and swords dance

[@MattDRT0358]

Let's go!!!

[@afroman6725]

Flareon can get pretty strong, but that requires a lot of setup. Case in point your team has chi yu instead. I wonder hpw flareon would do if it had access to drought or maybe an ability like pixilate but for fire.

[@randumo24]

Flareon is just an objectively better choice for the team than Chi Yu on a team with this makeup in a format where Flutter Mane is so dominant. It wasn't the best choice of Eeveelutions to leave off for this format.

[@roberthenderson3769]

lol i think this would have been a great april fools themed video.

[@ekuu8918]

What if the entire family got access to Adaptability? That would be on theme.

[@extrememanner3867]

I would buff Glaceon by either giving it more base speed or Slush Rush. Plus a coverage move would be nice but Tera Blast helps with that

[@FlygonkingVGC]

I would buff flareon by not making it physical or not making him fire so it can use guts flame orb

[@nealjacobs9119]

Leafeon just needs coverage. I’m using it as a scarfer in ZU rn (I don’t really play VGC but still enjoy the content) since pretty much nothing will outspeed and OKO it, but the only decent moves it gets are double edge, leaf blade and x-scissor. It has no way of dealing with steel types (unless you want to run dig), so I think it should get something like superpower (flareon gets it as coverage IIRC so not unreasonable) or CC and maybe crunch or high horsepower or wild charge. There’s lots that could be done in that department. Its stat totals and distribution are fine (usable attack, good defence and enough speed to do the job), it just needs so more moves

[@treska7688]

My first idea is to just give Eevee more coverage or utility. Buffs for everyone!~ (Big fan of the Eevee line, but I never touch online or anything because I'm cheap. So what experience I have with them, has nothing to do with VGC.) If I had to buff any single Eeveelution, though. I'd either give more coverage to Jolteon (sad that they took away its good Bug-type Move recently), or a decent no-recoil physical Fire-type Move to Flareon so it doesn't knock itself out literally every turn if/when you try to use it in Tera Raid Battles. (No, I'm not salty, what are talking about?)

[@Soup-wh9he]

I would boost the BST of all Eeveelutions to 575 from the 525 where it currently sits.

[@jeez8939]

Chi-Yu: Ummm I can explain

[@Snubbull3000]

is it a true eeveelution win if chi yu is doing most of the work?

[@aniruddhiyer845]

Why don't you use fake tears on the jolt Would be a good synergy

[@archangel62789]

I don’t know a good balanced way to buff the eeveelutions, other than maybe increasing their base stat total. I am however disappointed that we didn’t get a new eeveelution this generation. The whole past and future theme seems perfect to introduce perhaps rock and steel eeveelutions, or maybe dragon instead of rock.
