Finneon is technically a pre-evolution of Lumineon, but it holds its own in formats where Eviolite is allowed. Swift Swim doubles its Speed in rain, adding extra value. Been around since Gen 4. Only weak to Electric and Grass.

Finneon's stats barely vary. None sit in respectable range with no real gaps. It's a blank slate for EV investment. Worth 1 Speed EV, standard growth curve to max.

  • Finneon isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Lumineon to unlock its full potential. At 330 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.

  • Finneon's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric) and Exeggutor (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Finneon evolves into Lumineon at level 31. Finneon is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • Run Swift Swim on Finneon. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Finneon also gets Storm Drain and Water Veil, but they don't compare.

  • Finneon fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 49 Attack). At base 66 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Finneon appears in 13 games, including Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver, and Diamond & Pearl.

Finneon first appeared in Diamond & Pearl and has been available in 13 games across 7 generations. Obtainable through catching or hatching as a base form in most titles where it appears.
