So, as someone who loves the #Pokemon #Eevee , I sure haven't spoken too much about it.
A point of contention that comes up frequently with me and the wife.
"What is Eevee?"
I mean, is it a Dog? A Cat? A Rabbit? A Fox?!
Typically. I default to the answer that Eevee is Eevee. A precious little bean that needs protecting.
Part of the joy of Eevee is that they essentially embody an idea of childhood potential, Eevee can become all kinds of things depending on conditions around them. Sure, half of them involve shoving a rock in their face.
Every time there is a new generation, I am eagerly waiting in the wings for new Eeveelutions (Best portmanteau), and as I assemble my non-mainstream brand building block Eevees, I'll do a little write up on them, my thoughts and feelings about their design and maybe a little on the stats and functionality... At least through my eyes, I am not into the Pokemon Meta, and I am sure what I say about their battle potential can easily be refuted.

What is not to love about the design of Eevee? They are super cute with a big bushy tail, pointy ears, and a little furry ruff. They just look super cuddly, and I want one or maybe ten.
Ahem, anyway. Besides being so cute that I would invade a micro-nation at their behest, it is a shame that within the context of the game, it's a bit mediocre. Being a first form Pokemon, I wouldn't expect it to have stats to shout about.
Being quite old school Pokemon, I am surprised it can learn attacking moves outside the normal type. But there isn't anything worth picking up to try and transfer to a different form, passing the grass move trail blaze (grass type physical move) to Flareon has some potential, but that's all I can see.
Sadly, it feels like Eevee, within the game, has the purpose of plugging type gaps in your party... We could really do with a normal type evolved form to champion the Normal type! Outside the game, I don't think I could evolve an Eevee, unless I had multiple.
