How to Get Leafeon in HeartGold & SoulSilver
Leafeon is not available as a wild encounter in this game.
Eevee cannot evolve into Leafeon in HeartGold & SoulSilver, which has no Moss Rock. Evolve it in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, then trade Leafeon over.
How to Get Shiny Leafeon in HeartGold & SoulSilver
Leafeon has no Moss Rock to evolve beside here, so evolve an Eevee in a Sinnoh game and trade the shiny back. See every game where Shiny Leafeon can be hunted
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Water, Electric, Grass, Ground |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Breed through Eevee to get eggs. Leafeon and Vaporeon share the same 525 total stats, but they're distributed differently. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.

Moves List
Breeding's the move. Charm and Covet give Leafeon options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 8 types already covers a decent range on top of Solar Beam and Leaf Blade. The egg moves push it further.
