>>50944948Yes, but there's a catch. As a psychic and a precog, they're better able to let you know whether they want to be touched or not without resorting to physical harm. So long as you approach without any malicious intent and are respectful to their trainer, it may let you.
The catch however, is that their fur is extremely sensitive, it can even pick up fine movements in the air. This leads to most Espeon refusing to be touched by strangers, so expect to be refused quickly. And especially don't approach them with the plan I laid out earlier, some professors believe Espeon are capable of reading thoughts.
