Smash Master
First off, I talked to a mod and the owner of the original Eevee thread before making this so we're all good. Here is a link to said Eevee thread.https://smashboards.com/threads/eev...h-limitless-potential-maybe-next-time.453832/
On to business!
The partner eevee in Pokemon Let's Go! Eevee is not just any eevee. It's an individual with unique powers no other pokemon, even other eevees, can use. It's like Bandanna Waddle Dee compared to a normal Waddle Dee. Partner Eevee has the power of all the eeveelutions wrapped in one. It has access to 9 special moves of various types which could be incorporated into it's moveset. These special moves also come with added effects that no other moves have. These various added effects would make up the core of Partner Eevee's play style.
But that's not all that's unique about this particular Eevee. Partner Eevee also learns the game's replacements for HMs, known as secret techniques. These are not moves, but various powers and gadgets for use outside of battle only that only Partner Eevee and Partner Pikachu can use.
Finally, Partner Eevee brings along a plethora of adorable costumes, accessories, and hair styles which could be used for alts in smash.
Overall, I think your standard Eevee would be pretty basic, but Partner Eevee has potential to be one of the most unique characters on the roster. It would be a fast, light, tricky character that relies on stacking the various bonus effects of its moves to win the battle. Having so many types on one pokemon in smash seems really cool to me, and I could see Nintendo adding this character to promote the new Let's Go! games.
By the way, this is the first support thread I've ever made, so any tips or suggestions would be welcome. If anyone wants me to add something else to the OP I'm happy to listen.
Thanks for reading!

It has access to 9 special moves of various types which could be incorporated into it's moveset. These special moves also come with added effects that no other moves have. These various added effects would make up the core of Partner Eevee's play style.
Here's a video showing all of the special moves if you don't want to read the diescription.
1. Buzzy Buzz- an electric type special move which creates a ball of lightning around the opponent and always leaves them with paralysis. In smash this could be a lightning based projectile similar to Palutena's explosive flame. It could have little knock back but have the added effect of slowing the opponents movement speed.
2. Sizzly slide- a fire type physical attack where Partner Eevee coats itself in fire and dashes into the opponent. It always leaves a burn. This move could work like a fiery green missile, or maybe something more similar to spin dash, or even . It would end with a burst of flame and deal extra damage over time. I see it mostly as a dash attack because there are so many other options for special moves.
3. Bouncy Bubble- Partner Eevee shoots a stream of bubbles at its opponent which drains their health and returns to replenish its own. This wouldn't work like any current move, but would almost be like a projectile version of nosferatu. Given how many special moves Partner Eevee has to incorporate, I see it as a forward arial like villager.
4. Glitzy Glow- Partner Eevee lets loose a wave of psychic energy at its opponent and also casts light screen, which raises the parties special defense. Light screen could be incorporated in smash as a reflector or a buff in defense against energy attacks in addition to the attack.
5. Baddy Bad- Despite having the dumbest name of all the attacks, this move is fantastic. Partner Eevee shoots a wave of dark energy similar to Glitzy Glow (but obviously dark type) and casts reflect. Reflect is basically light screen but with physical defense. This could work just like glitzy glow but with a counter instead of a reflector and a buff for physical instead of energy.
Sidenote: I think Glitzy Glow and Baddy Bad could be combined into one move since they have the same animation just with different special effects. They could be a chargeable side special that starts as Glitzy glow. As glitzy glow, it would deflect projectiles both while charging and while being shot out. Charge it long enough and it becomes Baddy Bad. Unleash baddy bad, and while it doesn't reflect projectiles, it gives Partner Eevee super armor on its next few attacks.
6. Freezy Frost- Partner Eevee creates a giant black ice structure around its opponent then shatters it. This removes all status bonuses. I don't know how this added effect would work in smash. Maybe it could lower the opponents defense like inklings ink, or their attack instead. This could almost work as any of Partner Eevee's smash attacks, appearing directly in front of Partner Eevee for forward, behind it while striking upward for up smash, and on either side of it for down smash.
7. Sappy Seed- A giant vine sprouts up from the ground and drops explosive seeds on Partner Eevee's opponents. It has the added effect of leech seed, which drains health from the opponent every turn. In smash, I think this would work best as a smash attack, either forward or down since although there is upward momentum with the stalk rising, the seeds falling is the main point of the attack. After a character is hit with this move, they would gradually take damage- about 2% to 4% per second. I don't know if this should also heal Partner Eevee or how long it should last, but overall it would be a very highly damaging move with reduced knock back to compensate.
8. Sparkly Swirl- This fairy type move has Partner Eevee generate several swirls of fairy energy to attack the opponent. It also removes all status ailments in the party. I think this would work for a forward or down smash, and it could have the added effect of restoring shields or something if it hits.
9. Veevee Volley- Thuis one is Partner Eevee's signature move. It's not one that can be learned in the regular moves, but can be activated via motion controls when Partner Eevee prompts it. It's super powerful (I almost one shotted mew two with it) and cinematic, so it would work well for a final smash.

But that's not all that's unique about this particular Eevee. Partner Eevee also learns the game's replacements for HMs, known as secret techniques. These are not moves, but various powers and gadgets for use outside of battle only that only Partner Eevee and Partner Pikachu can use.
1. Chop Down- Essentially just cut. Cutting down the tree could be used for an animation for a normal attack.
2. Light Up- Flash replacement. Probably not much use in smash.
3. Strong Push- Strength replacement. Partner Eevee glows and gains the strength to push huge rocks. The animation has it hitting the rock with its tail. I could see this being used in the throws. Partner Eevee throws the opponent, then jumps and whacks them with its tail while glowing to indicate it is using strong push. It would probably be a very high knock back throw.
4. Sea Skim- Surf replacement. This time it's literally surfing with a board. I think this could come out for normal attacks like a down tilt.
5. Sky Dash- Partner Eevee summons a flying machine and takes to the skies. It's the fly HM (fast travel) replacement. Perfect for an up special.
