Is Eevee Good in Red & Blue Playthrough?

You get one Eevee in Celadon City, and the evolution stone you pick matters. Vaporeon is the best choice for a playthrough, Jolteon is strong if you need Electric coverage, and Flareon looks good on paper but doesn't work in practice. Choose carefully since you only get one.

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.
