Pokémon fans rush to catch the Mightiest Eevee in special event

When to catch the Mightiest Eevee?

Pokémon fans are in for a treat this week with special events happening across all the games. And it's Eevee Week, a celebration of one of the most beloved Pokémon of all time. But here's the catch - there's only one weekend to catch the Mightiest Eevee, and after that, it's gone for good. Make sure you log in between Friday, November 17, 2023, and Monday, November 20, 2023, to snag this special Pokémon.

The Mightiest Eevee abilities, nature, and stats

The Mightiest Eevee is a Level 100 Pokémon with a Hardy nature and the ability Anticipation. Its move set includes Baby-Doll Eyes, Double-Edge, Hyper Voice, Charm, and Bite. While its stats and move set may not be intimidating, the raid battle comes with a twist - Eevee will set up a barrier at the start that remains in place until it's knocked out. This means status moves won't work, and moves like Baby-Doll Eyes and Charm will greatly affect your damage output. But fear not, there are ways to counter it.

The Mightiest Eevee best counter

To defeat the Mightiest Eevee, a raid staple called Annihilape is your best bet. This Level 100 Pokémon has an Impish nature and the ability Defiant. Its move set includes Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Focus Energy, and Close Combat. Annihilape's Fighting-type moves are super-effective against Eevee, and its Ghost-typing protects it from most of Eevee's attacks. Defiant prevents attack drops from Eevee, and Annihilape can boost its own stats with Bulk Up and set up a Focus Energy for a powerful hit. With Close Combat, this fight can be quickly finished.
