Best Espeon Builds in Pokemon Champions

Espeon has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Focus Sash attacker is the safest option, while the support attacker build uses Magic Bounce and utility to protect offensive teams.

Build 1: Focus Sash Special Attacker

This is the main Espeon build. It uses Focus Sash to survive one hit and return strong Psychic-type damage.

Build 2: Magic Bounce Support Attacker

This version gives Espeon more team utility. Magic Bounce helps punish status and hazard-style disruption while Espeon still attacks quickly.

Espeon Stats

Espeon stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Espeon

Focus Sash is the safest item because Espeon is fast but fragile.

Light Clay is useful on screen-support builds, while Sitrus Berry gives Espeon a little more staying power.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Espeon

Espeon works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Espeon Is Good Against

Espeon is strong against Fighting and Poison-type Pokemon. Magic Bounce also makes it useful into teams that rely on status or disruption.

Dazzling Gleam and Shadow Ball give Espeon coverage into Dark, Dragon, Psychic and Ghost-type matchups.

Potential Counters for Espeon

Espeon is threatened by Bug, Ghost and Dark-type attacks. It is fragile, so priority and strong neutral hits are also dangerous.
