Just like a plant, it uses photosynthesis. As a result, it is always enveloped in clear air.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Leafeon is a mammalian, quadruped Pokémon. Its body is tan with dark brown paws. It has several green sprouts growing all over it with the longest one on its head, in front of four tan tufts of fur. Leafeon's ears and tail have a leafy appearance. It has brown eyes and a small, brown nose.
Special Abilities[]
This Pokémon's cellular structure is similar to plants, which allows it to perform photosynthesis and purify the air around it by sleeping under patches of sunshine.
Behavior[]
It is a pacifistic Pokémon, preferring not to fight.
Habitat[]
Leafeon is rare in the wild, and is more often found in urban areas under the care of people.
According to Motofumi Fujiwara, a key person at Game Freak, Eevee was based on a vague childhood experience he had, He described seeing an "indefinable creature" and that Eevee was based on a drawing of all that he could remember of it.
Each one of Eevee's evolutions are based on the same design but are made to resemble their type.
Name Origin[]
Leafeon comes from leaf and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, presumably in reference to the concept of evolution). Eon is also a suffix shared by all Eeveelutions and was Eevee's prototype English name.
