Espeon is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Known as the Sun Pokémon, it has a sleek, feline-like body covered in fine, lilac fur. Espeon's most distinctive feature is the small, red gem embedded in its forehead, which glows when it uses its psychic powers. This Pokémon has evolved from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the day or with a Sun Shard in the player's Bag.

Espeon's fur is incredibly sensitive, allowing it to sense minute shifts in the air and predict both the weather and its opponents' thoughts and movements. The tip of its forked tail quivers when it's predicting its foe's next move. Espeon is known for its loyalty to trainers it deems worthy, and some sources suggest it developed its precognitive abilities to protect its trainer from harm.

This Pokémon's psychic powers are closely tied to sunlight. It builds up energy by bathing in sunshine, which causes the orb on its forehead to glow. Conversely, Espeon is not as effective in battles at night. In Pokémon Sleep, it's mentioned that Espeon is known to sleep deeply during nighttime.
