Answer 1

Espeon @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Zen Headbutt
- Morning Sun
- Facade
- Trick

I’m predicting this will get downvoted but here is a Physical Espeon set. Toxic Orb instead of Flame Orb so that it doesn’t hinder the attack stat. Morning sun heals off damage from the poison and works best on a sun team, although it only spares a few more turns to survive. Facade pairs up with the Toxic Orb to deal a lot of damage and trick is to pass the Toxic Orb to the opposing Pokémon, poisoning it.

I’ve hoped I’ve helped!

Answer 2

National Dex RU Z-Celebrate

Espeon @ Normalium Z
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Celebrate
- Stored Power
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Dazzling Gleam

Z-Celebrate Espeon set for NatDex RU. This set should only be used on HO teams. Celebrate with Normalium Z turns into Z-Celebrate, giving Espeon +1 stat boosts. These +1 boosts make Espeon's Stored Power have a BP of 120. Hidden Power Ground allows Espeon to hit Steel-types such as Registeel and Mega Steelix super effectively. HP Ground can also 2HKO Mega Houndoom on the switch provided you used Z-Celebrate earlier. Dazzling Gleam allows Espeon to deal super effective damage to Dark-types such as Zarude and Obstagoon.

Answer 3

catto (Espeon) @ Big Root
Ability: Magic Bounce
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
- Draining Kiss this is my unique draining kiss set big root + draining kiss after a couple of calm minds = alot of recovery and very good damage with a couplle of calm minds. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

I would say:

Espeon w/ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Calm Nature
-Calm Mind
-Grass Knot
-Psychic
-Morning Sun

Calm Mind to raise Special Attack and Special Defense (Works well with the move Psychic)
Grass Knot helps with type coverage and heavy enemies.
Psychic for STAB. (When paired with Calm Mind it's better)
Morning Sun for HP recovery. Since this will have Leftovers, you will be able to recover most of your HP.

Comments

Calm Mind is not Focus Energy & if you use Trick Room then use it on a slower Pokemon at least

Oops, sorry!

Answer 5

Here's a better one than the one I made earlier:

Espeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 Spe
Calm Nature
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Dazzling Gleam
- Baton Pass

So, Calm Mind is good to boost Stored Power and for Baton Passing.
Stored Power for STAB and because it gets boosted by Calm Mind
Dazzling Gleam, because it's a move that doesn't need to be boosted and for type coverage.
Baton Pass for after you use Calm Mind to hand your boosted stats to another Pokémon.
