My vote would go to Flareon, at least if you didn't start with (or aren't using) Chimchar. The physical/special split in gen 4 means Flareon actually finally gets to make use of its higher Attack stat, and D/P/Pt is infamously starved for noteworthy Fire types.

The only cruddy thing about it, now that I look into it, is that I don't think Flare Blitz was made available for it in that gen (despite being the gen Flare Blitz originated).

Here's the silly thing about Flareon... It *does* get to make use of it's good attacking stat...

With Fire Fang. That is it's best physical fire move. Lava Plume is really good don't get me wrong, but until it got Flare Blitz it was really neutered

Yeah, I looked into what its available move pool was in gen 4 after making that post, and assumed Flare Blitz would be there for it because that move originated in gen 4 and it seemed like a shoo-in for Flareon. Alas, it doesn't seem like it.

If you have a tank ready for the champion, Espeon.

If not, Umbreon.

I'd say Jolteon since it's my favorite, but normally I'd go with whichever one covers a typing I don't have in my team yet.

With only the info we have so far, I'd say Jolteon, but more info would be helpful. What's the rest of your team right now? And are there any other Pokemon of the same types as the Eeveelutions that you're thinking of using later?

Considering you have all 3 starters (somehow) covering Fire/Water/Grass and Kirlia covering Psychic, plus Glaceon's evolution comes so late in the game that it doesn't really help that much, your only real options for an Eeveelution are Jolteon and Umbreon. The thing is, Jolteon learns no good Special Electric-type moves until Discharge at level 78, so if you want to use it, you basically need to give it the TM for Thunderbolt. That would either rob your team of a great coverage move that Gardevoir or Drifblim could take advantage of or would require spending a ton of money or time at the Game Corner to get a second TM.

For that reason, I think you'd be better off either going with Umbreon or just not using an Eeveelution at all. Magnezone would be a better Electric-type than Jolteon since it learns Discharge at level 40, while Drapion or Weavile would be a better Dark-type than Umbreon.

It's speed and special attack are off the charts. It's one of the best mons in gen 4

But it's very TM-reliant in a playthrough due to its terrible level-up moveset. Is Jolteon really worth the investment of giving it the very valuable Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball TM's just to make it viable? Thunderbolt you can get more copies of from the Game Corner (for 200,000 pokedollars if you just want to buy the coins and don't want to gamble) but Shadow Ball you can't get another TM for until the Battle Frontier in the post-game.

If you want to use an Electric-type in a playthrough of Platinum, then Raichu, Magnezone, and Electabuzz (or Electivire if you can trade evolve) all learn good Electric STAB moves at a reasonable level, so you can use your Thunderbolt TM to give another Pokemon a useful coverage move instead.

My dude, it's the storyline.

You don't need a competitive team to win.

You barely even need a viable team.

Okay I just looked up Espeon's gen 4 moveset, why the fuck does it take level 64 to learn Psychic wtf? In previous gens it learns it mid to late 40s that's such an unreasonable change.

At least it gets Psybeam until then which isn't a completely awful move until then. Jolteon is stuck with 40 base power Thundershock as its only special-attacking STAB move until Thunder (with its shaky 70% accuracy) at level 71 and Discharge at level 78.
