Battle Strategy
Eevee functions primarily as a niche Extreme Speed sweeper or a technical baton passer in lower tiers. In specialized formats, it leverages its unique Z-Move, Extreme Evoboost, to drastically raise all stats before sweeping or passing the boosts to a more powerful teammate.
Best Used In
Eevee is most effective in Gen 7 Anything Goes or lower tiers like LC (Little Cup) as a physical attacker. It also sees use in gimmick 'Extreme Evoboost' teams in casual or legacy Smogon formats.
Strengths
- ›Versatile movepool including support and offensive options
- ›Access to the powerful Adaptability ability which doubles STAB damage
- ›Unique access to the omni-boosting Extreme Evoboost in Gen 7
- ›Immunity to Ghost-type moves
Weaknesses
- ›Critically low base stats across the board
- ›Highly susceptible to Taunt and Haze which negate its setup
- ›Weakness to Fighting-type priority like Mach Punch
- ›Relies heavily on Eviolite for any semblance of bulk
Competitive Tips
- ›Use Eviolite to increase its defensive stats by 50% for better survivability as a pivot.
- ›Run Adaptability with moves like Double-Edge or Facade for surprisingly high damage output.
- ›Utilize Yawn to force switches and create opportunities for setup or safe pivots.
- ›In Gen 7 formats, use Last Resort with Eevium Z to trigger the Extreme Evoboost stat spike.
- ›Quick Attack can serve as useful priority to finish off weakened, faster opponents.

Game History
