Eevee (Analysis)

err....not part of the GP team but this analyses needs a few proofreads.

[box]
[Overview]
<space>
<p>Very little has changed for Eevee since Gen 4. Thanks to adapability, its Stab STAB moves are doubled in power, which mades making Eevee a powerful user of Choice Band in Little Cup. Unfortuneately Unfortunately in this Generation, Evolution Stone exists, which makes Eevee a less impressive pokemon Pokemon. It does still, however, run a rather powerful Choice Band set and has access to powerful priority, in Quick Attack, thanks due to Adapability. Despite it's poor movepool, Eevee can still sweep successfully with the correct support. Cheer Up allows Eevee to raise both attack stats at once, making it a potent mixed attacker. (you just randomly added this, you should move it or delete it)<space></p>

[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Quick Attack
move 2: Return
move 3: Bite

Set Description:
[SET COMMENTS]

<p>This is Eevee's most powerful set approach without having to seting up. Quick attack is good for hitting quicker faster (repetition of the word "quick" makes this sentence sound awkward) pokemon Pokemon. This can be useful against set-up sweepers such as users of Shell Break (shell break) and scarfed pokemon Pokemon holding a Choice Scarf. Return's has a massive power of 204. This will deal serious damage to anything that does not resist it. While bite Bite has a low power, it is Eevee's only weapon against Ghost<space>-types, who resist it's powerful Stab STAB attacks. Baton Pass is great for scouting. (another lonely sentence, move it or add more substance) The EV spread is very simple; 236 Attack and Speed maxamise maximize Eevee's sweeping capabilities. An +attack nature (Adamant) Attack-boosting nature such as Adamant is encouraged.</p>

<p>If you do not wish to run Baton Pass, Iron Tail is an option. It can hit rock types that also Rock-types who (you've been using "who" to refer to Pokemon, so you must stay consistent throughout the writeup) resist Eevee's Stab STAB attacks.</p>

Teammates and Counters: (team options and counters are different sections that come after all sets. It should talk about both sets, not a separate set twice. The order should be Team Options, Optional Changes, Counters, and Dream World)

<p>The biggest counter to Eevee are Ghost type pokemon such as Gastly, Misdreavus, Duskull, and Pururiru. They can easily switch in, immune to Eevee's normal attacks. From here they can set up on a locked Eevee and cause serious damage to your team. Pokemon with pursuit pair will with Eevee because they can trap and kill Ghost types and allow Eevee to sweep with ease. Komatana, Houndour and Munchlax are prime examples. Eevee's Normal attacks can't do much to bulky Steel types, particularly Bronzor and Tessido.A Magnemite with Hidden Power Fire also makes a great partner for Eevee. Steel types can be trapped and eliminated making life easier for Eevee.Fire types also pair well with Eevee because the can threaten and kill Steel types. A scarfed Houndour hits Two birds with one stone, hitting steel types with powerful Fire Blast / Overheat and fast ghosts with Pursuit / Crunch / Dark Pulse.<p>

Set Description:
[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Cheer Up makes Eevee a powerful mixed sweeper. It who can come in on a support pokemon Pokemon such as Tesshido Ferroseed or a weakened pokemon Pokemon, scare them out, and set up with Cheer Up. After 1 a Cheer Up, Quick Attack becomes more powerful than a if it were boosted by Choice Banded one thanks due to added Life Orb Damage power (Life Orb damage usually refers to the recoil it dispenses). Shadow Ball / and Bite both cover Ghost<space>-type pokemon Pokemon.; Hhowever, faster Ghost<space>-types such as Gastly and Misdreavus will outspeed outpace (everyone knows why you mean by outspeed, but it isn't a word) you, so you will need to predict their switch-in. Hidden Power Fire is great for hitting Steel types like Tesshido such as Ferroseed who will want to switch in and wall your powerful Normal attacks. Hidden Power Ice can be used for Gligar switch-ins.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Because you can hit faster pokemon with Quick Attack, attack nature is used An Attack-boosting nature is used to hit as hard as possibly with Quick Attack; however, a Jolly nature can be used to outpace everything Eevee would normally tie with. Return can be used in the place of Cheer Up if you want Eevee to be a mono-attacker (uh, no one wants their Pokemon to be mono-attackers, they just have to because they lack another moveslot. You should rephrase this).<space>Shadow Ball has better coverage than bite Bite, and a higher Base<space>Power,; however, Bite is an option because Eevee has higher aAttack than sSpecial aAttack, and Pururiu is much more specially defensive than physically (you want to rephrase this). Bite will hit Pururiu harder. Hidden Power Ice can be used to hit Gligar on the switch-in,; however, Hidden Power Fire is strongly recommended to hit Steel<space>-types, who otherwise wall you.</p>

Teammates and Counters: (same as above)

<p>This Eevee is not walled by all ghosts. Only the ones that outspeed it will beat it, unless you can predict their switch-in.Pokemon with pursuit work will with Eevee because they can trap and kill Ghost types and allow Eevee to sweep easily. Komatana, Houndour and Munchlax fit the bill here.Eevee's Normal attacks can't do much to bulky Steel types, particularly Bronzor and Tessido.Since Eevee is fragile, faster pokemon with priority moves will stop it in it's tracks. Croagunk can come in and stop it with a combination of Fake Out and Vacuum Wave. Meditie does the same with Fake Out and Bullet Punch. Dokkora Ohko's it with Mach Punch. Buizel also hits Eevee hard with Aqua Jet.Pururiru makes an excellent defensive partner because it is immune to Fake Out, Vacuum Wave, Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, and it resists Bullet Punch. It also lures out Tesshido, with Eevee can set up on.</p>


[Team Options]

<p>Eevee makes a terrific late-game sweeper once Ghosts- and Steel<space>-types have been taken out of the game. It can used to quickly revenge kill a scarfed pokemon midgame such as Wailmer or Mankey. (what are you trying to say here and why is it in Team Options?) However, the best time to use Eevee is late-game, when your opponent is weakened and his or her Ghost-s<space>/and Steels-types have been KO'd.</p>

[Optional Changes]

<p>Yawn is a viable move. It can be used with Protect /<space> orDetect to shut down one a member of the opponent's team which can be very useful. Baton Pass can be used to pass on a Cheer Up boost, which could come in useful handy. Eevee could can pass on its stat Boost(s) boosts (Cheer Up gives two boosts, one in each attacking stat, so it should always be pluralized) when it is low on health and give another poke Pokemon (this is just being lazy) an opportunity to sweep. Although gimmicky, a Curse set could work on Eevee pose some use. With an Evolution Stone and Max HP / Sp.Def maximum HP and Special Defense, Eevee can take on the role of a tank. Quick Attack ignores the Speed drops which is very useful, and Ghost<space>-types with Hidden Power Fighting can't do much when Eevee has an Evolution Stone and maxed out Special Defense. Wish is an option to recover Eevee's health....(everyone knows that Wish recovers health, we want to know why we want to recover our health or what recovering our health does for us) can be used for recovery, of sorts. Hidden Power Ground can be used on the mixed attacker set to hit Steel pokes Pokemon (writing "pokes" is extremely lazy, seriously, just type "Pokemon"), notably Aron.</p>

[Counters]

<p>Ghosts Ghost-types counter Eevee because they resist its powerful Stab STAB attacks. Bulky Steel-types resist Eevee's (what). A team with Eevee should make use of Pursuit users such as Munchlax and Kotomana, and Magnemite to trap steels. Eliminating these counters will give Eevee an easier time cleaning up.</p>

[Dream World]

<p>Eevee gets the Anticipation ability from Dream World, which is absolutely useless. Adaptability is most definitely the preferred ability.</p>[/box]

Ok, there were a ton of lazy mistakes. Not capitalizing "Pokemon" and writing "pokes" are some examples. If you really expect this analyses to be uploading using pokes to replace Pokemon, you should think twice >_< it's kind of mean making abbreviations for words you know how to type so we have to fix it instead of you...watch out next checker.
 
Just a nitpick, but in the overview:

"....which mades Eevee...."

that should be "which makes Eevee" or "making Eevee"

Okay, looking at this, I'm still unsure about the content here, and I don't have the knowledge of Little Cup I'm afraid. Maybe get this on the GP queue before I check it?

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>If you do not wish to run Baton Pass, Iron Tail is an option. It can hit Rock-types who also resist Eevee's STAB attacks. Ghost-
types and Steel-types are a problem for this Eevee because they can come in, using their resistance or immunity to Normal-type moves, , immune or resistant to your normal attacks, and proceed to set up whileyou are locked on an immune or resisted move. Pursuit users such as Kotomana and Munchlax make good partners for Eevee as they can trap and kill these Ghost-type Pokemon, who are immune to Eevee's powerful normal attacks. Magnemite is also a good partner because it can trap Steel-type Pokemon, who resist every one of Eevee's attacks.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Because you can hit faster pokemon with Quick Attack, a +attack nature is used (the natures listed are both +speed). Return can be used in the place of Cheer Up if you want Eevee
to be an all-out attacker a mono-attacker. (space) Shadow Ball has better coverage than Bite, and a higher BP, however but Bite is an option because Eevee has higher Attack than Special Attack, and can hit Pururiu on its weaker defensive side is much more specially defensive than physically.

Wish is an option to recover Eevee's health, if you are using a bulky variant. It can also provide useful Wish support for the entire team. Hidden Power Ground can be used on the mixed attacker set to hit Steel Pokemon, notably Aron.</p>

[Counters] (may need to change to Checks and Counters)

<p>Ghost-types counter Eevee because they resist its powerful STAB attacks. Bulky Steel types resist Eevee's STAB attacks. A team with Eevee should make use of Pursuit users such as Munchlax and Kotomana, and Magnemite to trap steels. Eliminating these counters will give Eevee an easier time cleaning up. (this should have more counters and fewer TO)</p>

<p>This set is Eevee's most powerful approach without having to that doesn't require set up. Quick Attack is good for hitting faster Pokemon, such as Shell Smash users and Pokemon holding a Choice Scarf. Return's massive power of 204 will deal serious damage to anything that does not resist it. While Bite has low Base Power, it is Eevee's only weapon against Ghost-types, who are immune to its powerful STAB Normal attacks. Baton Pass is used in the last slot for scouting purposes. The EV spread is very simple: 236 in Attack and Speed maximize Eevee's sweeping capabilities. A Jolly nature is encouraged to make Eevee as fast as possible.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>If you do not wish to run Baton Pass, Iron Tail is an option. It can hit Rock-types who also resist Eevee's STAB attacks. Ghost-type and Steel-type Pokemon are a problem for this Eevee variant because they can come in, being immune or resistant to its Normal-type attacks, and proceed to set up while you are locked in on an immune or resisted a useless move. Pursuit users such as Pawniard and Munchlax make good partners for Eevee as they can trap and kill Ghost-type Pokemon, who are immune to Eevee's powerful Normal-type attacks. Magnemite is also a good partner because it can trap Steel-type Pokemon, who resist every one of Eevee's attacks. An Adamant nature can be used for maximum power.</p>

After 1 Work Up, Quick Attack becomes more powerful than a Choice Banded one thanks to the Life Orb boost. Shadow Ball / Bite covers Ghost-type Pokemon. However, faster Ghost-types such as Gastly and Misdreavus will outspeed you, so you will need to predict their seitch in. Hidden Power Fire is great for hitting Steel-types like Ferroseed, who will want to switch in and wall your powerful Normal-type attacks.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Return can be used in the place of Work Up if you want Eevee to be an all-out-attacker. Shadow Ball has better coverage than Bite, and a higher Base Power, but Bite is an option because Eevee has a higher Attack stat than Special Attack, and it can hit Frillish on its weaker defensive side. Hidden Power Ice can be used to hit Gligar on the switch in, however Hidden Power Fire is strongly recommended to hit Steel-type Pokemon, who otherwise wall you.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Yawn is a viable move. It can be used with Protect or Detect to shut down a member of the opponent's team. Baton Pass can be used to pass on a Work Up boost, which could come in useful. Eevee can pass on its stat boosts when it is low on health and give another Pokemon teammate an opportunity to sweep. Although gimmicky, a Curse set could work. With an Eviolite, maximum Hit Points and Special Defense, Eevee can take on the role of a tank. Quick Attack ignores the Speed drops, which is very useful, and Ghost-types with Hidden Power Fighting won't do much damage when Eevee has an Eviolite and maxed out Special Defense. Wish is an option to recover Eevee's health, if you are using a bulky variant; it can also provide useful Wish support for the entire team. Hidden Power Ground can be used on the mixed attacker set to hit Steel Pokemon, most notably Aron.</p>

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Ghost-type Pokemon generally check Eevee because they resist are immune to its powerful STAB attacks. Misdreavus can easily switch in on a Quick Attack or Return, and set up a Nasty Plot without taking any damage. Gastly acts similarly to Misdreavus, setting up a Substitute in the place of Nasty Plot. With some prediction, Eevee can beat Ghost-type Pokemon with Bite as they switch in, so they are not true counters. Bulky Steel-type Pokemon such as Ferroseed resist Eevee's STAB attacks, but they must watch out for Hidden Power if Eevee is running the mixed attacker set. A team with Eevee should make use of Pursuit users such as Munchlax and Kotomana, and Magnemite to trap steels. Gligar can take most Eliminating these checks and counters will give Eevee an easier time cleaning up.</p>

[Dream World]

<p>Eevee gets the Anticipation ability from Dream World, which is absolutely useless. Adaptability is most definitely the preferred ability.</p>

Yeah, I know I'm bumping a completed analysis that has last been posted in 3 months ago, but I'd like to bring up something no one has yet: Retaliate.

After a Pokemon has fainted, Eevee's Retaliate reaches a dizzying 280 BP with Adaptability, which, in comparison, beats out Victini's STAB V-Create's 270 BP. Since the premise of a Choiced Pokemon is usually to hit hard and get out of there, Eevee shouldn't have to worry much about the weakened second hit. Since it has 76 more BP than Return, I think it's a pretty viable option.
