Overview
########

+Adaptability is one legit ability.
+Reasonably good attack stat, with a not-so-terrible speed.
+Unique move pool, that provides various creative sets.
-Typing leaves it vulnerable to the most powerful type in the tier.
-Absolutely wretched coverage.
-Runs move sets that other Pokemon run much better.


Physical Attacker
########
name: Physical Attacker
move 1: Return
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

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 is the extent of coverage that Eevee gets. Even though it has mediocre power, it does provide a super effective hit on Pokemon like Misdreavus.
- 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
- 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.

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 Gem
- 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.

GUYS, HALP. I NEED YOU HELP HERE.
