I was planning on using Leafeon. The big question w/ Leafeon is "what sets it apart from Sawsbuck?" Saws gets a Normal-type STAB, the ability to bypass Sucker Punches with Nature Power, recovery w/ Horn Leech, slightly higher Special Defense, and Sap Sipper. On the other hand, Leafeon has slightly higher Attack, much better Defense, and Wish. It's arguable that Leafeon could pull off a BP set better, since it hardly needs to worry about coverage (to be more specific, it -has- no coverage) so it can pass off Subs and whatnot. One thing to note is that they both have the same base Speed and Chlorophyll - is it worth pairing Leafeon with say Charizard on a sun team? Leafeon can switch in and scare off Golems and such while Charizard fucks up everything else... idk, just theorymonning. It seems like the only real role that Leafeon can have that isn't completely outclassed by Sawsbuck is a defensive set with Wish and/or Heal Bell... without those, it's even outclassed by Tangela. u_u
