"Leafeon is a solid low-tier option for a physically defensive wall that can help patch up weaknesses to strong Ground-, Grass-, and Water-type attackers, boasting an excellent Defense as well as respectable Attack and Speed for a defensive Pokemon. However, it is not without downsides. Poor special bulk, abilities that are unhelpful in most situations, and a barren movepool in terms of coverage moves make it easily exploitable." - Smogon University (Not Ryan)
