Espeon and Umbreon are designed to show off many of the changes from gen 1 to 2
>New type
>New evolutions for old Pokemon
>shows off split special stat (Espeon is 130 in special attack, Umbreon is 130 special defense)
>Mechanic involves time of day

Gen 2 was pretty great
After all these years I still haven't used Espeon in an in-game playthrough for some reason even though everything about it appeals to me.

Why live
>>27240465
The only thing they could have really added was hold items. You could also argue that they encouraged the time capsule for stones
>>27240546
We might get two of them this gen.
>>27240546
There's always been a weaker eevee since the pairs started. Why did gen 6 only have 1?probably because it's a half assed game
>>27240465
I'm pretty sure most of the Eeveelutions exist to show changes, Leafeon and Glaceon are showing that the environment can be used to evolve some Pokemon, Sylveon shows off a new type/Pokemon-amie
And then the original three show off using items for evolution
>>27240655
Leafeon KIND of shows off the physical/special split being a physical grass type and all, but yeah it's a huge stretch.
>>27240465
If Gen VII includes a Draconeon, how would you want the stats distributed?
>>27240685
Do we know for certain that is from the national dex?
>>27240728
Glaceon is more special oriented right? There would be a parallel between the two if it was
One physical, one special
>>27240623
>no Dragon Eevee to be the other half of Sylveon
>>27240797
What?
Even if it wasn't how would Eevee get an evolution in Gen VII without it being native to Alola?
>>27240797
This ain't Sinnoh, GF learned their mistake of blocking evolutions.

Most dragons have the stats of physical attackers that can go mixed(Mence,Chop,D-Nite etc) and also have sweeping potential. So maybe:
65/130/65/95/65/110
