Leafeon's stats are solid on their own, but Chlorophyll is what pushes it over the line. It doubles its Speed in sun. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Built to hit on the physical side. Part of the Gen 4 roster.
Nothing fancy in Leafeon's spread. It leans physical with Defense out front. And you'll get 2 Defense EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Cells similar to those of plants have been found in its fur. Its hard tail can fell a large tree with one stroke, and the tail’s sharpness exceeds even that of a sword crafted by a master.
Leafeon Weakness
FragileType-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.

Leafeon looks average on paper at 525 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play — build around that and it pulls its weight. A-Tier attacker on our tier list.
Leafeon gets Chlorophyll and Leaf Guard. But Chlorophyll is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
