With a maximum CP of 3,368 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Leafeon is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Leafeon in 2026.
Leafeon's Attack stat is 216 (Excellent). This is a competitive Attack stat that makes Leafeon a strong damage dealer.

The best moveset for Leafeon depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Razor Leaf (Fast) with Solar Beam (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Leafeon has 3 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Leafeon has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Leafeon can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Grass typing provides useful matchups against Water, Electric, Grass-type threats while being weak to Fire, Ice, Poison types.
