How to defeat Espeon in Pokemon GO
Regardless if one is talking about the core series Pokemon games, anime, or POGO, ultimately the key to winning a battle is correct type-effectiveness.
Espeon is the Psychic-type evolution of Eevee, giving it just a few weaknesses against other types. Espeon is weak against Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type opponents in Pokemon GO. On the other hand, this Pokemon has resistances when facing Fighting and other Pyschic-type foes in battle.
A trainer can use one of the following Pokemon against Espeon to knock it out quickly:
Mega Houndoom: Considering Mega Houndoom is the best Dark-type Pokemon currently available in POGO, it's no wonder that the Pokemon is the #1 choice to use against Espeon. A great move combination for Mega Houndoom are the Dark-type moves Snarl and Foul Play.
Mega Gengar: Another Mega Evolution that will make quick work of Espeon is the dual Ghost/Poison-type, Gengar. To deal maximum damage against the Psychic-type, use a Mega Gengar that knows the moves Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball.
Weavile: Those that aren't fortunate enough to have a Mega Evolved Pokemon in POGO can try their hand using Weavile against Espeon. The Dark/Ice-type will easily inflict damage easily with its type advantage. The fast-moving Snarl paired with the charged move Foul Play will take a toll on the enemy Espeon.
Scizor: Though Bug-types are often thought to be some of the weakest Pokemon in Pokemon GO, Scizor is still able to benefit from type-effectiveness against Espeon. This Steel/Bug-type will certainly help to wear down the raid boss using a moveset that includes Fury Cutter and X-Scissor.
Using a combination of the above Pokemon when battling Espeon is the best way to ensure a player victory. All of these options take advantage of Espeon's weaknesses in Pokemon GO.
