    Default Espeon moveset help - 4th move needed

    I just got my Colosseum Story Mode Espeon to level 100 today. I am going to send it to my Ruby and use it in battles but I can't figure out a fourth move for it. Since I never had it as an Eevee, it never had access to Bite, which I believe was on its standard moveset (at least it was in GSC... I haven't seen or heard much about him since then). So far I have:

    Espeon: (nature: Modest)
    Psychic
    Reflect
    Morning Sun
    ???
    @ Leftovers

    For a 4th move, the only thing I can really think of is Calm Mind, and it doesn't seem like it would be all that good on him since there is only 1 move that it would benefit and he doesn't seem like he could survive the setup. Attract also comes to mind. What do you all think would be good? I already checked his Hidden Power... it's physical so it's of virtually no use.

    Calm Mind could work, but it won't help him much vs anything that can resist Psychic (Darks, Metagross, Kecleon, other Psychics with good special defense). Toxic will help vs other Psychics, but not vs Steel and he won't last long enough vs Dark to make it matter. You may need to consider a psysical attack; HP Bug or Fighting would be useful, if that's what it has. Even with Bite, he's not too flash against Dark, so perhaps even something like Return or Swift?

    Actually, Calm Mind would probably work pretty good, it would help Espeon's defense against a dark-type attack, as well as strengthen Psychic. If you really don't like Calm Mind, then Attract would probably be the next best choice. Right now, Espeon is kind of limited as far as its potential until you get Fire Red/Leaf Green, since you can't get moves like Bite or Baton Pass, because Espeon are always male, and you can't get an Eevee through breeding yet.
