Leafeon and Glaceon

So as of the Fourth Generation, two new Eevee evolutions were added in.

Leafeon リーフィア

Glaceon グレイシア



To be honest I never really enjoyed Glaceon's addition to the Fouth generation as there were plenty other ice types with double types, such as Weavile. As far as that goes, I preferred Leafeon mostly because of it's Leaf Blade attack it learns around lvl 65.

As far as that goes.. what do you guys think?

Quote from The Inhaling One

It personally depends on who I need added to my team. If I need a killing machine good against Dragons and Cynthia's Garchomp, I would pick Glaceon. Other than that, I would pick Leafeon.

Yea I definately agree with that, Cynthia's Garchomp is a butt to defeat. However, it's extremely weak against Leafeon. In fact, you can take her Garchomp out with on hit if you use Growth twice and then use a Leaf Blade.

Quote from The Inhaling One

That may be true. However, Glaceon has a gigantic type advantage due to Garchomp being a Ground/Dragon type, which Ice is super-effective against both. Add that in with a STAB attack and Garchomp is screwed.

Then again, Garchomp being a Ground type, it's specific weakness being Grass. It does x4 damage for Grass type moves and if the user is a grass type it's another x2. So x8 damage.

Quote from Cressel

nah dragon resists grass so grass is neutral on garchomp, you just get the stab.

Interesting you said that... because I did a lets play of Pokémon Platnium... and while using Leafeon and her Leaf Blade it played the Super Effective sound.. Hrrm... maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Yep, Cressel you're right. Pardon my mistake.

"Defensively, Dragon types have resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire. However, many fully-evolved Dragon-type Pokémon have a double weakness to Ice-type moves, due to their secondary types.Dragon is the only type resistant to all types of starter Pokémon, including Electric." -Bulbapedia
