Umbreon and Vaporeon are basically incapable of Offense and offensive Sylveon sets compete with Gardevoir, who keeps it out of RU with a better type, better speed, and better attack. In UU there's Hatterene, which is slower but fits on TR teams and has Magic Bounce, and in OU it's competing with Lele and Fini and it is not winning.
