Overview
########
+Adaptability is one legit ability.
+Reasonably good attack stat, with a decent 16 speed.
+Unique move pool, that provides various creative, yet largely useless or outclassed sets.
-Poor typing given how powerful fighting type is in LC
-Terrible coverage.
Physical Attacker
########
name: Physical Attacker
move 1: Return/Double-Edge
move 2: Quick Attack
move 3: Bite
move 4: Iron Tail / Wish
ability: Adaptability
item: Choice Band / Life Orb
evs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe
nature: Jolly/Adamant
Moves
========
- Return is the bread-and-butter of the set. It and Adaptability make for one mean STAB attack.
- Quick Attack gives a little bit of priority. Never hurt nobody to have a little priority.
- Bite and Iron Tail are the extent of coverage that Eevee gets. Even though they have mediocre power, it does provide a super effective hit on Pokemon like Misdreavus or Spritzee
- Wish can be used to help heal Eevee of Life Orb recoil damage.
Set Details
========
- Maximize Attack and Speed, with one point going into Defense.
- Jolly increases speed, but Adamant gives you a 56.3% chance to OHKO Tauntfoo.
- Choice Band provides great power, especially combined with Adaptability Return, but will lock Eevee into a move. Life Orb, on the other hand, deals less damage and causes Eevee to be hit with recoil damage, but doesn't lock it into one move.
Usage Tips
========
- Return should be used most of the time. It has incredible damage output potential, while Bite and Quick Attack should only be used for Ghost-types and snipping small amounts of damage, respectively.
- Avoid making bad predictions with Choice Band while there is a Ghost-type on the other team.
- The only reason to run this over Bunnelby is due to its better bulk, which allows it to survive the OHKO from Itemless Fletchling's Acrobatics, even after Stealth Rock.
Team Options
========
- Ghost-Types provide a useful switch in for the Fighting-types that will wreck Eevee. Be careful of Knock-Off, though.
- Choice Scarf Pawniard can be really good for taking out Ghost-Types.
Other Options
########
- Wish + Baton Pass set.
- Last Resort
- RestTalk
- Facade + Toxic Orb
- Heal Bell
Checks & Counters
########
**Fighting-types**: Eevee doesn't have the sheer power to break through common fighting-types, like Mienfoo and Timburr.
**Ghost-types**: Immune to Eevee's biggest source of damage, Ghosts are only hit hard by Bite, but even that only has the power to OHKO Gastly.
**Steel- and Rock-types**: Armed with resistances, Eevee doesn't have the power to knock down these bulkier Pokemon.
