I haven't been using any Espeon, but I have found them to be incredibly annoying on Pokemon online (in a good way).
I have been trying out fast suicide leads, and Espeon tends to be a huge pain in the neck. Its a terrible mind game to have to deal with, since the percentage of players who use Espeon is not particularly high, yet they completely mess with strategy. I'd say at times 25% of teams had Espeon and a smaller percentage Xatu.
Anyways, when I use Aerodactyl, Espeon would always bounce back either my taunt or stealth rock. Stone Edge can 2HKO most Espeons I've run into, but not when they proceed to set up Reflect. I usually switch to a Scizor to take Espeon out before it causes too much damage. An Infernape lead doesn't fair too much better although he can do more damage to Espeon. Either way I don't get Stealth Rock up.
Also, on Pokemon Online Deoxys-S is not banned yet and I tried it as a Taunt/Stealth Rock/Spikes lead, and while it was broken last generation it is destroyed by Espeon. I was forced to run some special attack and signal beam to try to deal with magic mirror. It should probably still be banned, but I think this puts into perspective the power of the magic mirror.
