Is Espeon Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?

Eevee friendship evolution, blocked until the National Dex in FRLG. AbilitySynchronize passes status back. Psychic with high Speed and Special Attack. Strong on paper, but the story is over before Espeon becomes available. Alakazam fills the Psychic role through the entire game.

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.
