Pokédex notes
Leafeon needs Mossy Lure (or event rules) to evolve from Eevee — plan lure placement with family.
Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events
Fun fact: Eevee evolutions need specific tricks — nickname or buddy methods change by generation.
Invest tip: Razor Leaf + Leaf Blade is the Grass kit; Last Resort is the Eevee Community Day exclusive. Shadow Leafeon is the raid DPS lean — remove Frustration before investing.
