Espeon is a | Espeon is a quadrupedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur. This velvety fur is sensitive enough for Espeon to sense minute shifts in the air, thus allowing it to predict the weather. Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead. The gem boosts the psychic powers that it gained to protect its {{pkmn|Trainer}} from harm. It also has a thin, forked tail that quivers when it predicts its opponent's moves. Espeon is rarely found in the wilderness and is more commonly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}. | ||

Espeon (Japanese: エーフィ Eifie) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the day or morning (in the main series games), or when leveled up with high friendship with a Sun Shard in the Bag (in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness). It is one of Eevee's final forms, the others being Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.
It is the starter Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum alongside the other Generation II Eeveelution, Umbreon.
Biology
Espeon is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur. This velvety fur is sensitive enough for Espeon to sense minute shifts in the air, thus allowing it to predict the weather. Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead. The gem boosts the psychic powers that it gained to protect its Trainer from harm. It also has a thin, forked tail that quivers when it predicts its opponent's moves. Espeon is rarely found in the wilderness and is more commonly found in urban areas.

- Eevee won't evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen due to lack of day and night cycle mechanics.
- Even if all criteria to evolve Eevee into Espeon are fulfilled in generations VI and VII, it will evolve into Sylveon if knows a Fairy-type move and has at least two hearts of Affection or just knows a Fairy-type move in Generation VIII. Similarly in generations from IV to VII it will evolve into Leafeon near Moss Rock or Glaceon near Ice Rock regardless of other conditions while getting level up.

Trivia
- Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in FireRed and LeafGreen due to the lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the Pokédex in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions, evolved there, and then traded back, or else traded from Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD.
- Espeon shares its category with Sunflora and Volcarona. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
- Espeon was designed by Atsuko Nishida.[1]
- Espeon has blue inner ears in the games, but in other forms of media, such as the anime, they are often purple.
- Espeon is tied with Glaceon for the highest base Special Attack stat of all Eeveelutions.
Origin
Because of its feline appearance, Espeon appears to be based on the legend of the bakeneko and the nekomata, both magical cat yōkai described as mysterious and intelligent, but the distinction between the two is that the latter is depicted with a forked tail. It may also be based on the Lynx (mythology), a feline creature that possesses the psychic power of clairvoyance. The red coloring of the jewel could be a reference to a lunar eclipse, an event in which the moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow, making it appear red in color.
Its large ears can be traced from various felines such as caracals, oriental shorthairs, lynxes, and possibly servals. Espeon's ability to sense minute shifts in the air with its sensitive fur mirrors a cat's ability to use its sensitive whiskers to detect the slightest directional change in a breeze.
Name origin
Espeon is a combination of ESP (a branch of psychic abilities) and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eevee evolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.
Eifie is a combination of エスパー esupaa (ESPer, a person with psychic powers) and フィール fiiru (feel), referring to its extraordinary sensory abilities. It is very similar to Eevee, in both writing and sound (イーブイ/エーフィ).
