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

What is Eevee Weak Against
GoodEevee Evolutions
From here, Eevee's line branches into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. That's 5 possible evolutions, each with its own method. The evolved forms gain up to 200 total stats over Eevee. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Eevee (with patience) with 102 breeding partners from the Field egg group. Pass egg moves like Charm, Curse, Endure and 3 more to offspring.
RS Eevee Best Moveset
55 base everything across the board. AbilityRun Away has no competitive purpose. Five evolution paths (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon) each fill distinct roles. The moveset only matters after picking one.

Moves List
Without breeding, Eevee misses out on Charm and Curse. That's 6 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Take Down and Facade, with Dark and Ground coverage and more rounding things out.
