Leafeon Weakness
Type-wise, Leafeon takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. The Grass typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Leafeon's physical bulk (base 130 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Water, Electric, Grass, Ground |

Black & White Evolution
Leafeon is one of 8 ways Eevee's chain can end. This one takes the item path, while the siblings go different directions. Breed through Eevee to get eggs. Leafeon and Vaporeon share the same 525 total stats, but they're distributed differently. Check the comparison below to see where each one specializes. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Leafeon to get Eevee eggs (with patience) using 181 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Charm, Covet, Curse and 10 more.
Black & White Leafeon Best Moveset
One boost from Swords Dance and Leafeon gets dangerous fast. The Naive nature targets flexible, and Chlorophyll backs the whole approach. Leafblade and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.

Moves
Breeding's the move. Charm and Covet give Leafeon options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 8 types already covers a decent range on top of Solar Beam and Leaf Blade. The egg moves push it further.

How to Get Leafeon in Black & White
No wild encounters for Leafeon in Black & White. Bring Eevee over from Red, Yellow, or Ultra Sun, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
Leafeon Guide
In Black & White, Leafeon looks average on paper at 525 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list. Leafblade with Life Orb is the standard set.
Leafeon gets Chlorophyll and Leaf Guard. But Chlorophyll is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Leafeon is leaning toward the physical side (base 110 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 95 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.
For Black & White, the core moveset is Leafblade, Swords Dance, Hiddenpowerfire, and Double Edge. Leafblade leads at 24% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Diamond & Pearl, Leafeon has been in 14 games. Requiring an item-based evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
