5/10

I think the Eeveelutions are actually really awesome this set and support each other. The first attack is like an X-ball. But I am torn on if it is better or worse then an X-ball. All of your opponents energy, it reminds me of Lanturn Prime which was all of your pokemons energy, so close. Weakness is good, not to much fire running rampent, and a decent counter to Keldeo, and it cannot be OHKOby a Keldeo with only 3 water energy thanks to resistence. Combine this card with Deoxys and some other Eeveelutions and it could get better. But this HP are still to low to go against most meta decks. But normal HP when it comes to Leafeon.
 
Energy crush is an amazing attack for the cost. At the right time, you could be doing a lot of damage for a single energy. Best of all, it's colorless, so you can tech it into any deck that needs a cheap attacker (especially if it already uses the Eeveelutions). Leaf blade isn't very good though.

7/10
 
Paired with Deoxys-EX for extra damage output and Umbreon for HP support, this card's a menace. Energy Crush just cripples Blastoise/Keldeo, and Terrakion's gonna have to be alert as well.

7/10
 
Modified: 7/10
With cards such as Ultra Ball and Team Plasma Ball in modified format, it's really easy to bring this card out, and deal damage, early on. Two issues you'll run into when using this card are...
1. dealing enough damage to KO consistently (that's where Deoxys ex comes in)
2. Health, when you consider the kind of damage that's being dealt these days

Limited: 9/10
Again, easy access and easy damage early on. Though, to be fair, the "easy access" part is assuming you pulled a Team Plasma Ball from one of your packs. If you manage to pull Umbreon, you're another step closer to victory.

Unlimited: 7/10
Kind of a toss up here considering I'm not that familiar with the Unlimited format meta (IF there is one to consider). However, one of the best perks is that you'll have access to every card that can grab Leafeon, and the other Eeveeloutions, turn one/two (such as Chain Reaction Eevee)
 
8/10, I love this against big decks like Keldeo/Blastoise.. they carry big energy on bench.. only deck like Garchomp and Empoleon which use 1 energy will be it's obstacle. add deoxys for extra damage n umbreon for bigger hp.. Nice comeback for eeveelution
