ESPEON

Espeon continues may series of Eevee and his evolutions.  Espeon, along with his sibling Umbreon, were an interesting addition to the possibilities that you can evolve Eevee when Gold and Silver came out.  I found it difficult to evolve Eevee to either in the game.  For this pattern of Espeon, I adapted by Jolteon pattern to make him.  This pattern includes the color lists for Espeon and Shiny Espeon.
