Answer 1

Defensive Leafeon Build

Leafeon @ Leftovers / Any HP Restoring Item such as berries
Ability: Leaf Guard
Evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def or 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Protect
- Leech Seed
- Synthesis
- X-Scissor / Leaf Blade

Description: Here is a small moveset I came up with on the spot, it involves a bit more of a defensive approach. And since Leafeon has a pretty good defense stat maybe this set could be of some use : ))) Leafeon is one of my favorites to use so I just had to throw this together! OwO

Answer 2

Gen 9

Leafeon @ Assault Vest
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Hp / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
Fire Tera Type
- Leaf Blade
- Tera Blast
- X-Scissor
- Dig

This Leafeon build is intended for use on a sun team. I use it with Torkoal. Chlorophyll allows it to outspeed most of the meta in Gen 9, so I don't feel the need to dump EVs into speed. Assault Vest and 252 Hp EVs give it some serious bulk, and fire tera blast hits like a truck in harsh sunlight. The end result is a mon that has serious offense, serious bulk, and serious speed all in one package.

Answer 3

Offense build for pvp (I'm not sure if this is a recommend build)

Leafeon @ Life Orb
Ability: Leaf Guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP or Def
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Leaf Blade
- Return / Double-Edge / Aerial Ace / X-Scissor
- Knock Off

The third move is very confusing so I recommend Return move for Leafeon but requires to max it's happiness (aka friendship) this move is better than Double-Edge if you don't want a recoil type move but only has a 102 base power than 120 for Double-Edge, but great move against Bug, Dragon, Flying, and etc (Except Ghost, Rock, and Steel types but Return is not available for Gen 9 sorry I play some different Pokemon game☹️)
