Pokémon Of The Day

The Pokémon of August 30th, 2025 is…

#196 Espeon

“Espeon (Japanese: エーフィ Eifie) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the day or with a Sun Shard in the player’s Bag.

It is one of Eevee’s final forms, the others being Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.

Espeon is one of Wes‘s first Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum, alongside Umbreon.

Espeon is a quadrupedal, feline-like mammalian Pokémon with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur. Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead. It also has a thin, forked tail.

Espeon’s velvety fur is so sensitive that it can sense minuscule shifts in the air, allowing it to predict the weather and its enemies’ thoughts and movements. When doing so, the tip of its tail quivers. The gem on Espeon’s forehead glows when it unleashes psychic energy from the gem and darkens when all of the built-up energy has been exhausted. Espeon builds up its psychic power by bathing in the sunlight. As such, it does not handle battles at night well. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Espeon is known to sleep deeply during the night. Espeon shows extreme loyalty to any Trainer that it considers worthy, even being said to have awakened its psychic powers from its desire to protect its Trainer; some sources, however, theorize that its powers were born from its need to keep itself safe.

This Pokémon is rare in the wild, instead being more commonly found in urban areas, under the ownership of other Trainers. In Generation II, Morning Sun was its signature move.”-Bulbapedia.
