Editor's notes

As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Espeon takes extra damage from Bug, Dark and Ghost attacks, while resisting Fighting and Psychic.

Knowing that shapes how you use it: lean on its Psychic moves where they hit hard, and bench it against its weaknesses. It caps at 3,583 CP.

Lv 20 → 40	135,000	15	—

Espeon has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

Attack is its highest stat (261), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
