    Well, hello there, I was doing more of my calculations when suddenly I realized something about eevee, I noticed how alot of people are making useless pokemon sweepers such as PIMPNITE. But I thought of what could make this brown pokemon into a gold one.

    Lead Eevee

    [​IMG]

    Painter (Eevee) (M) @ Damp Rock / Heat Rock
    Trait: Anticipation
    EVs: 112 HP / 196 Def / 200 SDef
    Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
    - Yawn
    - Protect
    - Return
    - Rain Dance / Sunny Day


    This was a great way to start a battle, In LU It was something that made my opponent switch out with yawn letting me set up Rain Dance / Sunny Day (Rain dance being great for Kabutops) (Sunny Day for Grass Pokemon like Lilligant) But it had it's flaws, such as if I was taunted or had my item taken away making my rain dance / sunny day useless, also another trouble was OHKOs, fixing that with focus sash made my Kabutops unable to go for long causing me to loose alot of battles, and that's why focus sash is off the list.

    Support Eevee

    Iron Tail (Eevee) (M) @ Eviolite
    Trait: Anticipation
    EVs: 244 HP / 252 Def / 12 SDef
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Wish
    - Substitute
    - Return
    - Heal Bell


    Here is Support Eevee, pretty much as useful as a Celebi with no attacks but all support moves. With another lead taking this guy's place, he is able to go up some tiers without being obsolete. Wish, Subs, and heal bell are in his arsenal making him a pokemon that can bring your team up. My usual routine with this guy is: Heal Bell, Substitute, Wish, Switch. Having Return for revenge killing and such. This maybe the place eevee is supposed to be, but I think we can try harder than that.

    Sweep Eevee

    [​IMG]

    Swift Speed (Eevee) (M) @ Eviolite
    Trait: Adaptablity
    EVs: 80 HP / 176 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Stored Power
    - Echoed Voice
    - Toxic
    - Baton Pass


    Well, this is almost completely off a PIMPNITE video, Adaptability makes Eevee's STAB Echoed Voice even more powerful making just a few of those attacks to knock out Blisseys. But of course you have to set up with agility and calm mind(Calm mind optional) and subs so you don't have to damage first turn in. Not much else to it

    So, do you think Eevee should be in the main tiers? If yes then try to suggest some changes for some of these ideas

    In a more serious note, Eeevee is outclassed at all for other pokes in any tier not named LC.[/HIDE]

    Here's an eevee set I found actually quite effective in NEU:

    Eevee (M) @ Eviolite
    Trait: Adaptablity
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Curse
    - Return
    - Quick Attack
    - Bite

    Once all your opponent's steel types are gone this cute monster can make giant holes in teams or potentially sweep them. The only other problem is lack of recovery, but Adaptability Return, and even Quick Attack, with Attack boosts can do heaps of damage.

    Eevee is pretty outclassed in LC too.

    Because no attacking moves. It shows if the opponent has a fighting type move, I guess. Better than a useless ability.

    X2 STAB on Return is better than Anticipation imo

    If this is the worst thread you've ever seen, you obviously haven't seen a lot of threads.

    The first set is especially useful, because Unown and Magikarp can take advantage of a sleeping Pokémon for sure!
