Note the fact that it is in the "NeverUsed" tier.

It has some decent stats, but they're placed so that nothing really stands out. It's best stat, 130 defense, is hindered by its lackluster HP, and its special bulk is just above terrible. It does have a workable 110 Base Attack stat, which becomes quite dangerous after a Swords Dance, especially if Chlorophyll is active. But its barren movepool forces it to rely on Leaf Blade and Return for coverage, making it hard to force anything out for an opportunity to set up. In addition, it can be stopped in its tracks by any steel Pokemon, with bonus 4x resistances going to Skarmory and Ferrothorn, two of the most common defensive Pokemon in the game.

It stands a chance of being a threatening sweeper, but it's nowhere near as good as some of the other eeveelutions.

There's no need for me to make you read even more in my signature.
