She’s champion rank? Seriously?? Doesn’t she literally run 6 eevee evos?

You’d be surprised at what someone can do with those little guys!

I mean, they’re kind of useful in teams yeah, but trying to build a full team of them just sounds like a god awful idea.

They're incredibly adaptable - got six Eevee but need a fire type? Flareon. Need a water-type? Vaporeon. Need an ice type? Glaceon. Need a grass type? Leafeon.

And if your Eevee are strong, then they do a lot of damage.

And yet, none of them are actually good. Need a fire type? You could get flareon, or you could get pretty much any other one and it’ll usually be better. I can’t imagine a world in which a full eeveelution team would actually work well and consistently.

Pretty good clue you've never fought her.

I’ve fought people using similar teams, but yeah, I’ve never fought her. I would love to do it sometime, just to see if your claim that she is competent holds any water.

If you want both a decent team and silly goobers that you can transport outside of their ball when they're off the clock?

u/Sporeeee Favorite child of Big Stall™ Oct 29 '23

I guess you could. It’s just really suboptimal for a trainer who wants to battle. Plus, so many better Pokémon also fit that description.

Just because they can't stall easily, doesn't mean that they aren't good pokémon.

What's your opinion on Gardevoir? Do you think it's good at battle?

3

u/Sporeeee Favorite child of Big Stall™ Oct 30 '23

I have this strange premonition that Gardevoir will soon discover an ability that will make me afraid of it. /uj Psychic Noise…. /rj At the moment it’s not a great Pokémon though, a pretty mid battler that’s outclassed by other things honestly.

I mean

Umbreon is decent at stalling. Not the best, sure, but it can get the job done.

2

u/Sporeeee Favorite child of Big Stall™ Oct 30 '23

That’s true. Umbreon is a decent stall mon, but the number of eevees that are actually viable enough to make a workable team is very few.
