Description: With a high enough Friendship level during the daytime, you can evolve an Espeon, one of the many evolutions (or Eeveelutions if you will) of Eevee. Much sleeker than Eevee, Espeon is long and slender, and covered in very fine, lilac fur. It has tufts of fur on its cheeks and a small red gem on its forehead. Its long forked tail is said to be able to predict its opponents moves. It can sense minute shifts in the air, allowing it to predict the weather, and the gem on its forehead boosts its psychic powers to better aid it in protecting itself and its trainer.

Espeon are rare in the wild with most of them being found in heavily populated areas alongside their trainers. In Pokémon Go, Espeon is one of the easiest, powerful Psychic types to obtain. It can't match Mewtwo, Alakazam, or Gardevoir in sheer power, but makes for a great back up for the average player.

Core Games

New M2 13-inch MacBook Pro teardown shows it's just the old one in disguise

Apple's new M2 13-inch MacBook Pro is now on sale and people are doing what they tend to do with new things — they're taking the machine apart. The latest to take a screwdriver to Apple's new notebook is iFixit, and the result is further confirmation that this is essentially the M1 model but with some small tweaks and a new CPU.
