Is Eevee Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?
Celadon Mansion gift. AbilityRun Away only helps flee wild battles. The choice is between Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. In FRLG, Espeon and Umbreon evolutions are blocked until the National Dex. Pick the Stone evolution that fills your team gap. The choice matters more than Eevee itself.
Transfer Only Pokemon reflect GBA cartridge availability via Link Cable from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. The Nintendo Switch remake will support these once Pokémon HOME transfer launches.

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 |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
