Espeon

Espeon is a -type Pokémon.

It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the day.

Physiology
Espeon is a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur. Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead. It also has a thin, forked tail that quivers when it predicts its opponent's moves.

Special abilities
Espeon's velvety fur is sensitive enough for Espeon to sense minute shifts in the air, thus allowing it to predict the weather. Its gem boosts the psychic powers that it gained to protect its Trainer from harm.

Behavior and Habitat
Espeon is rare in the wilderness, and is more commonly found in urban areas.

Design origin
Espeon shares characteristics with foxes (especially the fennec fox) and cats (such as the lynx, sphynx, or caracal). It may be based off the nekomata or carbuncle.

Name origin
Espeon comes from ESP 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.
