Homebrew Leafeon Species Details

"Leafeon, the Verdant Pokémon. Leafeon is always surrounded by fresh clean air because it uses photosynthesis just like a plant."

— The national Pokédex

Leafeons are mammalian Pokémon. Their bodies are typically tan with dark brown paws. They have a multitude of small green sprouts growing all over their arms, legs, chest and back, with the longest one on its forehead. A Leafeon's ears and tail are stylized to resemble tattered leaves. They usually have brown eyes and a small, brown nose.

Their cellular structure is similar to plants, which allows them to perform photosynthesis and purify the air around themselves by sleeping under the sunlight; they can get their energy in this way instead of eating. They tend to be pacifistic, quiet Pokémon, preferring not to fight, though they can choose to sharpen their leafy tails in case they ever need it for self-defense. Their aroma is similar to fresh grass in its youth; as it ages, this fragrance bears more of a resemblance to fallen leaves. The aroma is favored in Galar, where it is used to create a popular perfume. They usually live in lush forests that have clean rivers.

They evolve from Eevees who have either been exposed to nature-based magic through a stone, or who undergo sufficient training whilst in the midst of a place charged with natural energy, such as a magical forest or moss covered rock.
