It's honestly astounding that it took 9 Generations for Flareon to finally have a decent counter against it's weaknesses, and it's not even that strong, Trailblaze.

[@Oscarus4250]

While Trailblaze isn't strong, it's supereffective against all types Flareon is weak against, and it boosts Flareon's mediocre Speed. Also, if you can, you can give Flareon Tera Grass to get STAB from Trailblaze and boost its' Base Power to 60.

[@drooprtroopr6969]

It's funny how 2 of Flareon's biggest achievements in this video is getting a move that boosts speed every time it's used. TWICE.

Speaking of Flareon getting Grass Type coverage, in the recent romhack Seaglass Emerald, Flareon gets Trop Kick, a strong Grass Type move that decreases the opponent's attack. Yeah, weird, but I'll take it.

The perks of not being not noticed by game freak

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

[@kimberlyramin]

It's not that Pokemon hates Glaceon, it's that they hate Ice types IN GENERAL. There isn't a single main series game where you can get an Ice type pokemon without significant effort. Someone playing pokemon for the first time could go through the majority of any game without realizing the Ice type even exists! In Kanto you won't meet any Ice types until at least the 5th gym, Johto you won't even hear of an Ice type until you challenge Pryce's gym, Hoenn *laughs in tropical island*, Sinnoh's the coldest region so far, and you only start meeting ice types on the way to the 7th gym. Unova has them sequestered away behind Twist Mountain, Kalos is equally late game, hiding in the area around the LAST gym leader, Alola doesn't have an Ice route until you're WALKING UP TO THE LEAGUE. Galar has you approaching the 7th gym before you can reliably meet an Ice type, although the wild areas make it technically possible much sooner. And then Paldea technically lets you challenge encounter ice types whenever you want, since its open world, but you're unable to catch and USE them until you have enough gym badges, and they all appear at relatively high levels on Glasseado Mountain, ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE MAP FROM WHERE YOU START. In short, it's not that they don't want you to get Glaceon, they just don't want you to have an Ice type on your team at all.

[@TheTakato122]

You can do the 3rd-7th gyms in any order so you can actually get Ice-types before the 5th in Kanto.

I want to say Jolteon contests in Legends Arceus due to being really fast. You can spam quick attack w/ agile style and sling off 4+ quick attacks in a row depending on the speed advantage. This is very strong, even with a type disadvantage you could chip off health very quickly. You could even just consider it free damage, and right before the enemy turn you follow up with a strong style attack.

That's one of the things I value the most about Umbreon. If a battle is going really badly, I can switch Umbreon in and tell him, "Just hold them off for a few turns, while I use all these Revives and Potions! You've got this, buddy!"

[@stephenchurch1784]

That bulk plus being able to get wish and moonlight via egg moves and toxic via tm makes it surprisingly effective offensively against anything that isn't immune to poison to. Not the most fun way to steamroll the leagues, but Umbreon can technically solo most of them

[@Cyber_Emperor]

Umbreon is my fave Eeveelution. Something tells me this guy doesn't even know how to use an Umbreon effectively and utilize its tankiness and the moves it can use. He always focuses only attack moves and yet brags he's been playing for more than 20 years lol

@@Cyber_Emperor Well, he was specifically talking about the best in terms of match-ups and move sets. Umbreon shines at being a very good jack of all trades and a solid backup plan, not a tool to steamroll powerful teams.

[@samuellawrencesbookclub8250]

One thing to point out, for Johto, the Haircut brothers can be found in the Goldenrod Tunnel, and they can be used to boost friendship, allowing you to access Espeon or Umbreon significantly faster. Technically you can only do this once a day, so you might have to be patient, but in Gold and Silver specifically you can advance the clock by pressing SELECT, B, and DOWN on the START screen, and speed this process up, and in the remakes you can just advance the DS Clock. You can quite easily cheese you way to getting one of friendship Eeveelutions before the 4th gym, and - as one of very few dark-types accessible before the postgame - Umbreon can be a big help against Morty.

[@mattybutler1985]

So a few things: Leafeon always got Aerial Ace, this has been the case since it was introduced. Glaceon also always got Water Pulse, it just wasn't as easy to teach until Gen 9 made it a TM. Sylveon always got Psyshock via TM but in Gen 9 it can get Psychic as well, which is huge considering Poison is its biggest weakness. The Eeveelutions are without doubt the biggest beneficiaries of Terastilisation due to Tera Blast expanding their limited coverage pool significantly, with any of them able to be any type and Tera Blast adjusting to match their highest offensive stat while Terastilised. Granted it's difficult to take advantage of this in a playthrough setting, but it's technically possible, easier than, say, getting Eevee in Diamond/Pearl before the League. I've always praised ORAS for the way they open up the National Dex Pokemon right before the Pokemon League instead of right after, and it's the only game in the series where you can easily pick between all 8 Eeveelutions right after you get Eevee. The problem is, it's difficult to justify picking Sylveon, when you've had access to Gardevoir, Mega Altaria and Clefable for so long now. Still, all 8 are at least some of the best Pokemon of their respective types in the game. Especially when you can get Eevee with its Hidden Ability, meaning Sylveon has Pixilate.

[@cameronthomas5165]

Not disagreeing with you just adding, but water pulse was a tm in gen 3 and 4. Also glaceon could only have water pulse from gen 4 til Oras move tutors and weird enough couldn't get it in swsh, bdsp not included since it's just reg gen 4. Everything else is completely valid and true as well and I agree with you for oras use on sylveon when others are there.

[@FantasyGameLover]

Everything you state here is factual, but I have one gripe. Mega Altaria is not easily accessible unless you invest the appropriate time and resources into contests, which most people might not have done.

According to Bulbapedia, all you have to do is show an Altaria to a guy outside the Fan Club in Lilycove City and he'll give you the Altarianite.

In DP and BDSP, it is TECHNICALLY possible to unlock the national dex with 1 gym badge. It is harder in DP as it requires trading to complete the dex. But, with BDSP, all that is required is that you have a completed Sinnoh dex which is extremely easy to do with Home. Simply transfer in the 150 pokemon of the Sinnoh dex from home into the game and get to Eterna City. Then if you backtrack all the way to the professor, he will give you the National Dex. Now, you can't get Eevee until you get to Hearthome. But, this does not change the best Eevee as Vaporeon would still win. If you are going to argue on a technicality, please be technically correct. If you are opening it to trading, the National Dex can be unlocked with a single badge as you NEED to be able to get to Eterna.

5:20 - I have a feeling they kind of intended for people to keep Eevee in their party while they looked for an evolution stone, and discover how to evolve Espeon and Umbreon naturally. They didn't want you to evolve Eevee too early and miss out on a different evolution just because you didn't know it was coming. It's in line with a lot of early generation game design.

[@samuellawrencesbookclub8250]

I would point out that, in Gen 1 mechanics, Fire Spin was an OP move, one that could make any battle, so long as you outspeed, easy. It may have had a weak base power, but in Gen 1 Fire Spin, and other moves like it, fully immobilised opponents, as in every turn you used Fire Spin your opponent would be unable to move to attack or heal, or switch. The only hope an opponent afflicted with one of these moves could have is if Fire-Spin missed (even moves that are 100% accurate today were effectively 95% accurate in Gen 1). As such, I'd say that any Pokemon that learns Fire Spin naturally, like Flareon, and does so at a fairly reasonable level, which Level 36 is (though 44 the level is learns it in Red and Blue is less reasonable), is a massive asset. So, in Gen 1 Kanto specifically, and Yellow in particular, I'd, with confidence, say that Flareon is an excellent choice of Eeveelution. I'd go so far as to say that, in Yellow, such early access to Fire Spin, makes it not only the best Eeveelution to pick, but also the best non-legendary fire-type in general, all the other fire-types that learn it at all, excluding Moltres, learn the move later, often significantly later. Obviously, a lot depends on your playstyle, there's no question that spamming Fire Spin and preventing your opponent from moving, however useful, is a pretty scummy tactic. Additionally, the bug-type coverage, with a half decent move and from a Pokemon not weak to psychic, on Jolteon with Pin Missile is very useful given the power of psychic types in Gen 1, so it might preferable to the more honourable type of player. But, for old and hardened cheeses like me, Fire Spin and Flareon is the only way to go.

[@steven1946]

I already love this video from the thumbnail alone, I love pretty much all the Eeveelutions but Jolteon is my favorite and I use it all the time unless I feel like using a different Electric-Type like Galvantula, Manectric or Raichu. Ayy ma boi is best in Gen 1 Kanto and BW2 :3 😁🦊💛⚡ I straight up caught a Leafeon and Flareon in a Space-Time Distortion, both of which ended up being busted as hell til I started using Hisuian Arcanine at some later point because I've always loved it and wanted to.

@@Summerhue_Donyx I finally ended up using Glaceon for the first time in a romhack called Pokémon Gaia not too long ago recently though. I intended to use one in Platinum at first, but it became Umbreon instead and I was kinda upset but okay at the same time since I never used Umbreon before that point. I literally never tried again until finding out HOW EARLY you can get Glaceon in Gaia and realized that I immediately could've used Jolteon (again like I originally intended) with a Thunderstone I got after the 2nd Gym or so. I didn't care and I literally beat the Fire Gym with JUST said Glaceon using Aurora Beam the whole time.

I’m really sad they never added a ghost-type eeveelution. If that ever happened, it’d very likely be my favorite eeveelution because ghost type is my favorite type, and Eevee is one my top 5 favorite ‘mons.

U could evolve it by throwing a brick stone at it

[@myheartismadeofstars]

Yeah, I wish they still made eeveelutions. I made a bunch of fakemon and eeveelutions were so important to me (I created lore reasons why they only exist in the fake region I made and everything) it's also fun to try and figure out interesting evolution ideas. (My ghost type evolution method was it levels up while fainted, basically you have to use a rare candy on it, but it makes it hard to do accidentally. I do realize that nuzlockers cannot ever use it lol. Maybe I'd say that it's the one pokemon that gets a pass because it's unique and that's the only way to get it)

I can't explain what it is, but I just love everytime Mikey uploads a new video. Also, Eeveelutions are among my favorite Pokemon, Espeon is my absolute favorite, I just love that more simpler design compared to the others, but every other Eeveelution is in my top list for each type. Vaporeon used to be my favorite, but then Gen 2 came out (and yes, I am that old, I was around 9 when Gen 1 came out) and Espeon quckly became not only my favorite Eeveelution, but probably my all times favorite Pokemon.

[@natanislikens]

Hey Mikey. As a self proclaimed Eevee Breeder… I think you are forgetting one important aspect. Once upon a time there existed a move that was so powerful instead of changing it… they simply removed it from the game. I am of course talking about the move “Hidden Power”. Hidden Power for Eevolutions meant you had a coverage move for its specific weakness. Allowing for OHKOs: Jolteon Vs Rock Types, Espeon Vs Dark, Umbreon Vs Fighting, etc… the only exception to this was Vaporeon, I don’t remember what typing the move became with Vaporeon, but I do remember it did not help it against Grass or Electric. Hidden Power also made Flareon viable as it has the most lack luster move set of all Eeveloutions and Fire Types.

One amazing thing about Espeon in gen 2 is if you do it right you can have one that knows both bite and psybeam for the league. Eevee learns bite at level 30, and Espeon learns psybeam at 36. So if you can manage to evolve it Eevee after 30 but before 36 you'll have an Espeon that can handle all of Will's Pokémon with ease.
