In July, there will be an Eeveelution-Only Rotation Battle Tournament.

Taking bets for Mini-Meta begins here.

My money's on Flareon's Passable Special Bulk, STAB-Super Effective moves on the one Physically Defensive Eeveelution, where everything else is a special attacker or Umbreon.

Sylveon and Jolteon have no weaknesses to the others' STABs. They'll be everywhere.

Choice Scarf Flareon may be more viable then I thought.

Also Adaptability Eevee's Choice Banded Return can outright OHKO a good portion of the Eeveelutions.

I want to try out sashed trick room Espeon and specs Sylveon together, maybe banded Eevee too. I think they 2HKO the entire metagame together.

Actually, Sylveon 2HKOs the entire metagame by itself under TR with a life orb and 252 in both offenses (hyper voice + double edge makes it unwallable)

All the Eeveelutions have access to Sunny Day, and Leafeon is the best answer to Vaporeon (no one will use Glaceon), so I'm anticipating a lot of Chlorophylleon and Gutseon with a Sunny Day setter (probably Sylveon, Espeon or Jolteon for special presence)

What I mean is no-one will use Glaceon to counter Leafeon.

GOAT team:
Eevee (banded adaptability)
Espeon (general magic bounce shit)
Sylveon (either cleric or specs)
Leafeon (SD Clorophyll)
Jolteon (specs)
Glaceon (scarf)

Specially defensive Sylveon confirmed for every team, because it walls 6/9 of the Eeveelutions (Jolteon, Vaporeon, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Sylveon). Also serves as the WishProtect wall/cleric, which works extremely well in Rotations.

Physically defensive Umbreon walls the rest of the metagame, so expect to see those two together a lot.

holy shit when you narrow down the pokemon choices to so little I didn't imagine the meta would still be this deep

Also my money's on Sashed Espeon with TR for Adaptability Banded to sweep with Return

>magic bounce shit
This is all eevees, the only thing you'll be magic bouncing is t-waves back at jolteon, w-o-w's back at flareon or tox's back at sylveon/umbreon.

And no one is gonna use umb's with syl around.

Yawn will probably be everywhere because of all the sleep spam that goes on in the cart, so magic bounce will have some merit.

I actually played in the gen V version of Eevee Cup tournament (picrel) since I had a japanese copy of Black 2. This was my team:

Jelly (Vaporeon) (M) @ Leftovers
Level: 50
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Haze
- Wish
- Protect

Kirschtorte (Umbreon) (M) @ Lum Berry
Level: 50
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 244 SDef / 12 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Wish
- Toxic
- Payback

Blueberry (Espeon) (M) @ Psychic Gem
Level: 50
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psyshock
- Signal Beam
- Heal Bell
- Protect

FruitPunch (Leafeon) (F) @ Pecha Berry
Level: 50
Trait: Leaf Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Leaf Blade
- Toxic
- Wish
- Protect

Mont Blanc (Flareon) (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Level: 50
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Roar
- Toxic
- Protect

Cracker (Jolteon) (M) @ Choice Specs
Level: 50
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 20 HP / 12 Def / 248 SAtk / 228 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Signal Beam
- Thunder

Leafeon was pretty useless, but other than that I remember having a lot of success with this team. I'll definitely switch to Swords Dance variant if the 6th gen version of this tourney takes place in the West, and probably replace Vaporeon with Sylveon.

You're asking to get set up on and the only things with phazing are slow.
Calm mind espeon kinda laughs at your team.

I based this team on Toxic stalling and Wish passing, so Protect was a very handy move to have, especially when you consider you can pull 3 of them in a row.

Volt Switch? Tell me again, why would I want to switch in Rotations? Thunder was really good for punching holes in opposing Umbreons. 2HKOed even the bulkiest variants IIRC.

Calm Mind Espeon wasn't really a problem with Haze Vappy and Umbreon around. SD Leafeon was actually my biggest nightmare, especially when combined with Sunny Day support.
