Biology

Physiology

Espeon is the result of an Eevee trusting a Pokémon Trainer very much, then being leveled up during the day. Resembling a cat, it has periwinkle fur, large ears with long tufts of fur below them, a red gem on its forehead and a pair of pupiless eyes with white irises and purple scleras. Its tail, which is forked a bit like a Buizel's, helps it to foresee possible futures. Its catlike appearance and red gem have caused some to mistake it for a relative of Persian, however, this gem merely augments its psychic powers.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Espeon has developed Psychic powers due to a combination of great loyalty to its trainer and sunlight, such as the ability to predict its opponents' movements by reading the air currents. Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Espeon can learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact. One would also assume that Espeon can learn Power Gem due to being a gem-bearing Pokémon, but it cannot.

Behavior

Espeon are very loyal to their trainers and will protect them from harm. They enjoy basking in full sunlight.

Habitat

An Espeon's habitat is in diurnal enviroments.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

Sakura's Eevee evolved into Espeon at some point between Trouble's Brewing and Espeon Not Included.

An Espeon was also in Pokémon Heroes under the ownership of Annie.

Lilian owns an Espeon. It was only seen in The Saffron Con to test the stage's lighting effects.

An Espeon was the third and final Pokémon used by Anabel during her rematch against Ash for the Ability Symbol in Second Time's the Charm. The Sun Pokémon was defeated by Ash's Pikachu.

In Not On MY Watch ya Don't, Espeon was one of the Pokémon being hypnotized by Psyduck.

In the manga

Red's genetically-altered Eevee evolved after the battle against Elite Four prior to the events of Volume 9.
