Certain techniques can be employed to ensure particular evolutions when evolving Pokémon. Here’s our guide on how to evolve Eevee.
Eevee is a highly sought-after Pokémon in Pokémon Go, known for its numerous evolutionary possibilities. Eevee has the potential to evolve into Sylveon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon, Espeon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon.
In the traditional Pokémon games, Eevee has the capacity to undergo various evolutionary transformations, affectionately referred to as “Eeveelutions” by fans.
These transformations are determined by factors such as the use of special items, Eevee’s happiness level, its available moves, and even the time of day.
In Pokémon Go, the process of evolving Pokémon is streamlined through the use of Candy, eliminating the need for the conventional method involving three elemental stones to evolve Eevee into Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon.
Additionally, the alternative methods for evolving Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon are also not applicable in this game.
Naming trick:
Before evolving, you can give your Eevee a specific name in order to force it to become one of the eight evolutions.
You don’t have to have walked with Eevee as your walking companion, and it doesn’t matter what time of day it is; this only works once for each of the eight evolutions.
Utilize the following names to ensure the desired evolved form:
- Rainer → Vaporeon
- Sparky → Jolteon
- Pyro → Flareon
- Sakura → Espeon
- Tamao → Umbreon
- Linnea → Leafeon
- Rea → Glaceon
- Kira→ Sylveon
To evolve Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon:
After you’ve applied the naming trick for these three Pokémon, a standard Eevee evolution will result in an equally random chance of obtaining either Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon.
If you’ve completed over 10 kilometers of walking with Eevee as your buddy and wish to avoid evolving into Espeon or Umbreon, be certain that Eevee is not currently your buddy when you perform the evolution.
The buddy method for Espeon and Umbreon:
Espeon and Umbreon, two Generation 2 Pokémon, can only be obtained using this method.
- You must have walked at least 10km with the Pokémon as your buddy, and have collected at least 2 candy.
- The Pokémon must be your buddy when you evolve it.
You have the option to select either Espeon or Umbreon based on whether you evolve your Eevee in daylight or during the nighttime.
The lure method for Leafeon and Glaceon:
To evolve Eevee into the Generation 3 Pokémon Leafeon or Glaceon, you must utilize one of the newly introduced Lure items: either the Mossy Lure or the Glacial Lure.
Approach a Pokéstop and activate the lure at the location:
- To get Leafeon, use the Mossy Lure.
- To get Glaceon, use the Glacial Lure.
Make sure you are within the Pokéstop’s range (ensure you can spin it) and locate the Eevee you want to evolve. Confirm that the “Evolve” button is present.
The buddy method for Sylveon:
To evolve your chosen Eevee into Sylveon, designate it as your buddy and accumulate 70 hearts with it. You can typically earn up to about 12 hearts daily by engaging with your buddy (such as feeding it berries, walking together, participating in battles with Eevee, etc.). Consequently, it will take approximately six days to achieve the evolution of your Eevee.
Nevertheless, you have the option to accelerate this process by providing your buddy with a Poffin, which enables you to earn more hearts each day. Once you’ve successfully accumulated these hearts, you can proceed with the standard evolution using 25 Eevee Candy.
