Espeon (Specially Defensive)

[Tiraulti]

[Set]

Name: ChestoRest Special wall
Ability: Magic Bounce
1: Toxic
2: Protect
3: Rest
4: Future Sight
Item: Chesto Berry
Nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 4 Spe / 252 SpD

Why this deserves to be on site:
-It can be a surprise to your opponent.
-Espeon has some special bulk naturally, along with some good speed and special attack.
-With his new ability magic bounce he is a good switch against a lot ok poke´s, such as tentacruel, confuse ray rotom, toxic stallers, etc.
-Rest and chesto berry gives him instant recovery, and with his more than decent speed he has good survivability.



Additional Comments:
Because of it´s good special attack, future sight hits pretty hard. Protect is used to stack more toxic damage.

Teammates / Counters
It struggles to take shadow ball from Gengar and Chandelure.
Any poke with pursuit will be a big threat.
It works in any team.

What's the point of using this set... Espeon can already reflect Toxic, Rest + Chesto Berry is generally not used unless setting up such as DD Kingdra, and Future Sight? Seriously? Future Sight is not used in any serious competitive play. This set is infinitely inferior to the sets already on-site, and there is no reason for anyone to ever use this set.

Also, your reasoning is ridiculous. "It can be a surprise to your opponent?" Why don't we just give every Pokemon an analysis just because "it can be a surprise to your opponent." EVERYTHING can be a "surprise" to your opponent. Espeon really has terrible bulk, and it really needs to take advantage of its great Speed stat. Investing in HP and Special Defense won't save it from STAB Shadow Balls from Gengar or basically any super effective attack.

LOL I just saw: "It works in any team." No, it does not. You obviously haven't ever tested this set nor have you given any good reason as to why we should even consider this to be put on site.

Just no. This ain't happenin'


EDIT: NWO PLEASE POST HERE xD
