Espeon (エーフィ Eefi) is a psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
Biology
Physiology
Dream world Espeon
Espeon is a quadruped mammalian Pokémon with cat-like features. It has sleek and lilac purple fur covers its body. It has a red jewel attached to its forehead. Its face is distinctly cat-like with a short, blunt muzzle and a tiny, triangular nose. It has long pointed ears almost similar to a fennec fox, and whisker-like tufts of fur protruding from each side of its face just below its ears. Its eyes are deep purple and almond-shaped with white pupils. It has a slender tail that tapers into two ends.
Natural abilities
Espeon uses the fine hair on its pelt and the gem on its head to sense air currents and predict its opponent's next move as well as the weather.
Evolution
Espeon is one of the eight evolved forms of Eevee. Eevee evolves into Espeon by leveling up with high friendship during the day. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Eevee can also evolve into Espeon by using a Dark Shard.

Appearances
Anime
- Espeon made its first debut in the anime under the ownership of Sakura in Espeon, Not Included.
- Espeon played a minor role in the movie, Pokémon Heroes under the ownership of Annie, as an antagonist.
- Espeon was quickly seen in the episode The Saffron Con under the ownership of Lilian Meridian.
- Salon Maiden Anabel's final Pokémon in her rematch against Ash in Second Time's The Charm! was her Espeon, who battled against Ash's Pikachu. This Espeon had the move Zap Cannon, a move that it normally cannot learn from the 3rd generation onwards.
- Espeon had a small cameo in the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior with the other evolutions of Eevee.
- Other than the appearances already mentioned, Espeon was seen under the care of an unnamed trainer during contests and in the Kanto Grand Festival.
- In Pokémon GO, Espeon is one of the few Pokémon that can have a CP of 3000 or more that is not a Mythical or Legendary.
- It is also one of the 7 that isn't a Pseudo-Legendary or Semi Pseudo-Legendary.
Manga
Trivia
- Espeon can learn Zap Cannon in Generation II. Strangely, it can't learn other weaker Electric-type moves.
- Espeon, Sunflora and Volcarona have the same species. All of them are known as the Sun Pokémon.
- Espeon and Mewtwo are similar. Both are cat-like, Psychic-type and their regular form is purple while their shiny form is green.
- Out of all the Eeveelutions, Espeon is the only one that isn't mainly two different colors. For example, Flareon is red and yellow, Eevee is brown and white, Jolteon is yellow and white, Glaceon and Vaporeon (if you don't count the white part around its neck) are light blue and dark blue, Umbreon is black and yellow, Leafeon is tan and brown, and Sylveon is pink and white while Espeon is only a light purple or pink.
- However, if you count the color of its jewel, it is a mix of purple and red.
- In Generation II, Red used an Espeon, but was later replaced by Lapras in Generation IV.
- Espeon almost looks similar to Blaze the Cat from the Sonic series, with the red gem on the forehead and cat-like face and similar lilac/lavender fur color.
- Espeon is somewhat similar to Persian, as they are both cat-like, first-evolution Pokémon with jewels on their foreheads.
- Espeon is one of the 11 Generation II Pokémon that is an evolution of a Generation I Pokémon.
- In the Pokémon Gold and Silver Beta, Espeon is yellow.
- In Generation IV beta development, female Espeon was going to have shorter ears than male counterparts as gender differences.
Beta male and female Espeon
Origin
According to Motofumi Fujiwara, a key person at Game Freak, Eevee was based on a vague childhood experience he had. He described seeing an "indefinable creature" and that Eevee was based on a drawing of all that he could remember of it. Though it wasn't based on any distinct animal, Fujiwara mentioned that Eevee reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature. Each one of Eevee's evolutions are based on the same design but are made to resemble their type.[1]
Because of its feline appearance, it is mostly based on a Nekomata, a two-tailed demon cat of Japanese mythology that holds a variety of psychic powers, which may include the ability to foresee the future or enter someone's dreams; and also an oriental cat due to its large ears and slender body or a caracal. Its ears may have also drawn inspiration from a serval.
Etymology
Espeon's name is derived from ESP (Extrasensory Perception), which is the ability to see the future and "eon", as is followed by every evolution of Eevee. It could also be derived from "espionage" (which is the practice of spying to obtain information on an enemy, much like Espeon does by psychically predicting its foes next move with the gem on its forehead).
