Best Dynamax Eeveelutions in Pokemon GO

Best attackers

  1. Glaceon
  2. Espeon
  3. Flareon
  4. Sylveon
  5. Jolteon

Glaceon is going to be one of the top Ice-type Dynamax Attackers in the game, going toe-to-toe with Gigantamax Lapras. Espeon is a strong Psychic-type with most creatures that outclass being legendaries (Gigantamax Orbeetle is the only Psychic-type G-Max move user).

Flareon, Jolteon, and Sylveon also possess strong Attack stats but there are much better G-Max attackers in the category (G-Max Fire starters, G-Max Toxtricity, and the eventual G-Max Hatterene, respectively).

Note that none of these creatures have 0.5-second Fast Moves. So they won't be particularly effective as chargers or defenders even though Glaceon and Sylveon have decent defensive stats.

Best defenders

  1. Vaporeon
  2. Umbreon
  3. Sylveon

Vaporeon is a top-tier Water-type defender. With Level 3 Max Spirit and the 0.5-second Water Gun in its kitty, this creature can be highly effective against Water-, Fire-, and Steel-type Power Spot bosses.

With there being no Fairy-type Fast Moves with a sub 1-second cooldown, Sylveon emerges as a decent defender against Dragon-type Max Battle bosses. Even without access to Sucker Punch or Bite, Umbreon is a very good defender, especially against Psychic- and Ghost-type bosses.
