Training and Battling — Type Effectiveness

Eevee, with its potential to evolve into 8 different forms, offers a unique level of versatility in competitive battling. Though Eevee itself is often overshadowed by its evolutions, it can still play a strategic role, particularly in specialized formats and with specific move sets. 

However, it is equally necessary to be well aware of its weaknesses to benefit from its stats and move the pool in the best way possible—

Damage Taken:

BugWeakly Resists½x
NormalNormally Affected1x
FireNormally Affected1x
WaterNormally Affected1x
GrassNormally Affected1x
ElectricNormally Affected1x
IceNormally Affected1x
FightingWeak2x

Here are some key points to consider:

  • Ghost Immunity: Eevee is completely immune to Ghost-type moves. It can strategically switch in against Ghost-type Pokémon. This is useful in situations where ghost types are prevalent, as it allows Eevee to take hits that would otherwise harm other members of your team.
  • Dark and Bud Resistance: Eevee weakly resists Dark and Bug-type moves to reduce damage from these attacks. This resistance can be advantageous when facing Pokémon that use these move types frequently.
  • Fighting Weakness: Eevee is vulnerable to Fighting-type moves. It takes double the damage from these attacks. Therefore, trainers should be cautious of this weakness and avoid putting Eevee against Fighting-type Pokémon or those that use Fighting-type moves commonly.

Understanding them, trainers can make informed decisions about when to use Eevee and how to best utilize its strengths in battle.

Eevee Moves and Abilities

Being a Normal-type Pokémon, Eevee is known for its ability to evolve into multiple forms and each has its unique moves and abilities.

However, Eevee itself has the Adaptability ability and Anticipation (the hidden ability).

Adaptability Increases the power of moves that share Eevee’s type. Basically, it boosts Eevee’s Normal-type moves to make it more effective in battles.
Anticipation (Hidden Ability)Causes Eevee to shudder when it faces an opponent with a super-effective or one-hit KO move. This allows players to make more strategic decisions in battle.

Eevee’s move set evolves across generations, and here’s the latest move chart for Eevee in Generation IX:

Eevee can perform a few key roles like Wish Support, Baton Pass in battle that are mainly centered around support and setup strategies. 

In short, Eevee may not excel in offense or mobility, but its ability to provide reliable support through Wish and Baton Pass makes it a valuable team member in lower-tier competitive play. 

So, with the right setup, Eevee can enhance the teammate’s performance and help turn the tide in battle.
