#470 Leafeon
“Leafeon (Japanese: リーフィア Leafia) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves from Eevee when leveled up near a Moss Rock or when exposed to a Leaf Stone.
It is one of Eevee’s final forms, the others being Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.
Leafeon is a mammalian, quadrupedal Pokémon. Its body is tan with dark brown paws. It has a multitude of small green sprouts growing all over its legs, chest, and back, with the longest one on its head, in front of four tan tufts of fur. Leafeon’s green ears and tail resemble tattered leaves. It has brown eyes and a small, brown nose.
This Pokémon’s cellular structure is similar to plants, which allows it to perform photosynthesis and purify the air around it by sleeping under the sunlight; it gets its energy in this way instead of eating. It is a pacifistic, quiet Pokémon, preferring not to fight, though it will sharpen its hard, leafy tail for the occasions it needs to. The tail’s sharpness is said to exceed that of a human-crafted sword, being able to cut down a large tree with one hit. Leafeon’s aroma is similar to fresh grass in its youth; as it ages, this fragrance bears more of a resemblance to fallen leaves. The aroma is favored in Galar, where it is used to create a popular perfume. It lives in lush forests that have clean rivers. As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, the air produced by a sleeping Leafeon can help any Pokémon sleep deeply.
During the development of Generation II, the earliest iteration of Leafeon was a quadrupedal Grass-type Pokémon with root-like feet, several markings across its body, and a short fringe above its eyes. Its eventual redesign for Generation IV is evidenced by Leafeon’s early Japanese name in the data of Pokémon Battle Revolution matching the same name as this early iteration from Generation II, known as Rīfi (リーフィ).”-Bulbapedia.
