Leafeon can work well defensively on teams looking for a cleric and Wish support. Its fantastic Defense allows it to wall many physical attackers that can't hit it for super effective damage such as Mienfoo, Lairon, Slaking, and many Persian sets. Wish does a great job at keeping its teammates healthy, allowing them more opportunities to break down the opposing team. Protect ensures Leafeon can receive the healing it needs from Wish, or you can opt to run Synthesis instead to regain immediate health if it can't afford to use Wish and wait a turn. Heal Bell is for curing Leafeon and its teammates of status conditions. Leaf Blade is still a strong STAB move despite the lack of Attack investment, and it keeps Leafeon from being incredibly passive.

Cleric Leafeon does best on bulky and balance teams. It is able to sit in on Pokemon like Solrock, Meganium, Hippopotas, and Vibrava while later curing status with Heal Bell. This means it can pass Wishes with little to no drawback to an offensive Pokemon with a favorable matchup against them like Glaceon, Grumpig, Walrein, or Pelipper. Cleric Leafeon really appreciates being paired with Pokemon such as Simisear, Muk, Emolga, and Arbok that can deal with foes that resist its Leaf Blade. It does well at providing teams with longevity when they otherwise wouldn't be able to outlast bulkier teams that attempt to wear them down with status conditions or other notable chip damage.

Leafeon can work well defensively on teams looking for a cleric and Wish support. Its fantastic Defense stat that allows it to wall many physical attackers who that can't hit it for super effective damage such as Mienfoo, Lairon, Slaking, (ac) and many Persian sets. Wish does a great job at keeping its teammates healthy, allowing them more opportunities to break down the opposing team. Protect ensures Leafeon can receive the Wish healing it needs from Wish, or you can opt to run Synthesis instead to regain immediate health back if it can't afford to use Wish and wait the a turn. Heal Bell is for curing Leafeon and its teammates of status conditions. Leaf Blade is still a strong STAB move off of an uninvested despite the lack of Attack investment, (ac) stat; this and it keeps it Leafeon from being incredibly passive.

Cleric Leafeon does best on fat bulky and balance teams. It is able to sit in on Pokemon like Solrock, Meganium, Hippopotas, and Vibrava while later curing status later with Heal Bell;. (remove semicolon, add period) This means it can pass Wishes with little to no drawback to an offensive Pokemon with a favorable matchup into against them like Glaceon, Grumpig, Wailren, or Pelipper. (assuming all four listed teammates don't each have good matchups against all four of the aforementioned foes, it may be better to provide a specific teammate for each foe with respect to the order they're listed above and use "respectively" at the end of the sentence) Cleric Leafeon really appreciates being paired with Pokemon such as Simisear, Muk, Emolga, and Arbok that can deal with those who that resist its Leaf Blade. It does well at providing teams with longevity when they otherwise wouldn't be able to outlast bulkier teams that attempt to wear them down with status conditions or other notable chip damage.
