Espeon

Espeon pairs Magic Bounce with Choice Scarf to create a fast attacker that also hard-counters status moves, sleep powder, and hazards by reflecting them back at the user. Modest with maxed Special Attack hits 200 SpA per the transcript, and the Choice Scarf pushes its Speed to outpace virtually every non-priority attacker. Psychic is the primary STAB nuke, Power Gem covers Fire and Flying types, Dazzling Gleam hits Dark and Dragon types in spread, and Grass Knot deals with heavy Water and Ground types. Defense investment absorbs priority moves and physical hits more reliably than raw HP alone. Per the transcript, Espeon was highlighted as a low-key MVP on this team.
