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 218 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Captivate, Charm, Covet and 11 more.
USUM Leafeon Best Moveset
110 Attack at 130 Defense with AbilityChlorophyll doubling Speed in sun as a hidden ability. Grass TermStab at physical power. But Grass-only coverage and 95 Speed without sun mean the moveset acts too slowly without weather support. The defensive stats protect against physical hits but the typing limits what it can do.

Moves List
Breeding's the move. Captivate and Charm give Leafeon options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 7 types already covers a decent range on top of Solar Beam and Leaf Blade. The egg moves push it further.

Leafeon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Groundiumz 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Leafblade, Swords Dance, Knock Off, and Dig. 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.
