Stats & Training
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.
When you see Leafeon asleep in a patch of sunshine, you’ll know it is using photosynthesis to produce clean air.
The younger they are, the more they smell like fresh grass. With age, their fragrance takes on the odor of fallen leaves.
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.

Scarlet & Violet 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 206 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Curse, Detect, Double Kick and 5 more.
Scarlet & Violet Leafeon Best Moveset
One boost from Swords Dance and Leafeon gets dangerous fast. The Jolly nature targets max Attack and Speed, and Chlorophyll backs the whole approach. Leafblade and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.

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

Leafeon Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Leafeon looks average on paper at 525 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-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.
In Scarlet & Violet, Chlorophyll is the hidden ability. It doubles Speed during strong sunlight. Worth hunting for if you want Leafeon to compete at a higher level.
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.
