Question

I'm going to EV train in HP and Sp. Attack. I'm thinking for moves:

Psychic: STAB, good power, high accuracy, chance to lower Sp. Def.

Baton Pass: Passes on Calm Mind and Substitute.

Calm Mind: Raises special stats, stat boost can be passed by Baton Pass.

Substitute: Allows Espeon to use Calm Mind and can be passed by Baton Pass.

Espeon Learnset

Answer 1

You Cant Have A Sweeper and Pokemon that passes stats with baton pass in one pokemon. Well, Look At These:
Sweeper: Shadow Ball(Good move), Calm Mind(Set up By Subsitute), Subsitute(Sets up Calm Mind), and Psychic(STAB).

Passer(Powers up and passes it): Calm Mind(To Pass), Reflect(To Passs, and help set up calm mind), Toxic(The Damaging move here) and Baton Pass(What Did You Expect?).

Hope This Helps:)

Hey Swampert, nice to see you back again. I have some mopre moveset links if you want to answer them, get some more points so that you can make Pokemaster go into 3rd place. With DT not having been on the site for awhile, maybe even get 1st.

Maybe a replacement for Toxic so as to not be crippled by Taunt?

---

Maybe Psychic or Shadow Ball, To Lower Their Special Defense.
Im Working On Those Queestions, now.

Done!!:)

So what stats would you have to EV train for if you were going to make Espeon a Passer? I would think Sp. Def & Defense, so he could have a little survivability while you does Calm Mind

Answer 2

My Faverite set is Nature:Timid, Evs: 4hp, 252 S.attack, 252 speed.

Psychic(Super STAB OHKOs Gengar)

Shadow ball(Covers ghosts)

Signal beam/HP(Fighting)(Covers dark choose between confusion or more coverage)

Calm mind(Makes it a fast, hard hitting tank)

Answer 4

The whole concept of this set is to utilise its great Special Attack and ability to Baton Pass at the same time.

Reliable Baton Passer Set:

Espeon (M) @Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
EV's: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)

• Calm Mind - (Boost for Stored Power and general Baton Pass)
• Baton Pass - (Baton Passing Calm Mind and possibly Subsititue too)
• Stored Power - (STAB and nice power with Calm Minds set up)
• Substitute - (Chance to be able to Baton Pass and reliable setting up tool)

---

With Calm Mind boosts, Stored Power has the potential to sweep, eveb though Espeon's set refers to Baton Pass. Behind Substitute, it can easily become a hazard to many teams.
