Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Eevee flexibility. Sp. Def barely edges ahead. But Sp. Atk isn't far off. Tough to catch and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve. Yields 1 Sp. Def EV.
It has the ability to alter the composition of its body to suit its surrounding environment.
Its irregularly configured DNA is affected by its surroundings. It evolves if its environment changes.
Eevee Weakness
Fighting moves hit Eevee for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Just 1 weak spot to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
