Leafeon Evolutions
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 200 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Captivate, Charm, Covet and 11 more.
ORAS Leafeon Best Moveset
Grass at 110 Attack and 130 Defense. AbilityChlorophyll as a hidden ability doubles Speed in sun. Grass TermStab fires physically hard. The moveset has raw Attack and Defense but pure Grass typing and narrow coverage limit team slots. Competes against Breloom who hits harder with better typing.

Moves List
Breeding's the move. Captivate and Charm give Leafeon options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 9 types already covers a decent range on top of Solar Beam and Leaf Blade. The egg moves push it further.

Just like a plant, it uses photosynthesis. As a result, it is always enveloped in clear air.
Leafeon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Leftovers 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 a physical attacker with 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Leafblade, Swords Dance, Knock Off, and Xscissor. Leafblade leads at 0% 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.
