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.

Legends: Arceus Leafeon Best Moveset

One boost from Swords Dance and Leafeon gets dangerous fast. The Adamant nature targets max Attack and Speed, and Chlorophyll backs the whole approach. Swords Dance and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.

Best Build

Legends: Arceus uses different battle mechanics.

Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

Moves

The offense anchors on Leaf Blade and Energy Ball, with Normal and Flying coverage and more adding reach. It's a workable movepool for Leafeon that handles most situations. Leaf Blade and Double-Edge give it enough punch where it matters.

Leafeon Guide

  • In Legends: Arceus, 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. Swords Dance with Life Orb is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Arceus, Leafeon's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Weavile (Ice), and Gengar (Poison), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • 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.

  • In Legends: Arceus, the best way to handle Leafeon: Faster attackers outpace it. Anything with a super-effective STAB move and decent speed can revenge kill.

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.
