Espeon Raid Guide

Espeon Psychic is a Raid Boss in Pokémon Go with 20837 Raid Boss CP when encountered as a Tier 3 Raid Boss. Best Espeon counters are strong Dark-type and Ghost-type Pokémon. It cannot be shiny.

Espeon can have the following CP values when caught in a post-raid capture encounter:

• 1730 – 1811 CP in normal weather conditions
• 2162 – 2264 CP  in Windy weather for weather boosts.

Espeon is a relatively easy boss as a Tier 3, as its defences are low and its high attack builds your own Pokémon’s charge bars. It is certainly not the hardest Tier 3 and will prove to be a semi-easy solo for high-level players. Looking at group sizes, high-level players should be able to solo Espeon with prepared counters, but lower level or newer players without ideal counters may want to bring a pal.

Espeon Counters

Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it. The figures in our database for DPS and TDO are calculated using Level 40 Pokémon with perfect IVs.
