But, nothing beats the biggest prize: Espeon. If you want to defeat and catch the Pokemon, the following guide might help you. We’re going to explore Espeon’s weakness and discuss some of the best counters.

Here is what you need to know.

What Should You Know About Espeon

Thanks to Valentine’s Day Collection Challenge, Espeon is now available in three-star raids. So, if you have struggled in the past to catch it, you have just got your best opportunity!

Espeon’s Weakness

We welcomed Espeon back in the Generation II’s Pokemon Gold and Silver era, as one of Eevee’s many evolutions. The Pokemon instantly became a favourite – especially among fans who are cat-lovers.
