Leafeon, the Grass-type Eeveelution, is a sought-after Pokémon in Pokémon GO, known for its elegant design and powerful Grass-type moves. Unlike some Eeveelutions that require specific naming conventions, evolving Eevee into Leafeon involves interacting with a specific in-game feature: Lures. This guide will walk you through the process, address common questions, and offer helpful tips.
How to Evolve Eevee into Leafeon using a Lure Module
To evolve your Eevee into Leafeon, you'll need to use a Moss Lure Module at a PokéStop. Here's the step-by-step process:
-
Obtain an Eevee: Make sure you have an Eevee you're ready to evolve. Remember, you can only evolve one Eevee into Leafeon using this method. Any subsequent Leafeon evolutions will require the use of additional Eevee and Mossy Lure Modules.
-
Find a PokéStop: Locate a nearby PokéStop.
-
Use a Mossy Lure Module: Equip and activate a Mossy Lure Module at the PokéStop. This will attract Pokémon and create the necessary environment for Leafeon's evolution.
-
Evolve your Eevee: While the Mossy Lure Module is active at the PokéStop, open your Pokémon storage, select your Eevee, and tap the "Evolve" button. Your Eevee should successfully evolve into Leafeon.
Important Note: You must be within range of the PokéStop where the Mossy Lure Module is activated to perform the evolution.
What if I don't have any Mossy Lure Modules?
Mossy Lure Modules are obtained through various in-game activities, including:
- Spinning PokéStops: Regularly spinning PokéStops is one of the best ways to acquire various items, including Lure Modules.
- Events: Niantic often features events that reward players with Lure Modules. Keep an eye out for special events or bonuses.
- Research Tasks: Completing research tasks can sometimes reward you with useful items, including Mossy Lure Modules.
Can I evolve Eevee into Leafeon using its name trick?
No. The name trick used for other Eeveelutions (like naming your Eevee "Linnea" for Glaceon) does not work for Leafeon. The Mossy Lure Module method is the only way to reliably evolve Eevee into Leafeon in Pokémon GO.
What are the benefits of having Leafeon?
Leafeon boasts high CP and strong Grass-type moves, making it valuable in Raids, Gym battles, and Team Rocket battles. Its Grass-type attacks are effective against Water, Ground, and Rock-type Pokémon.
Are there any other ways to get Leafeon in Pokémon GO?
While the Mossy Lure Module method is the primary way to obtain Leafeon, you may occasionally encounter Leafeon in the wild, during events, or in Raids. However, this is less reliable than the guaranteed evolution method.
How many Mossy Lure Modules do I need?
You only need one Mossy Lure Module per Eevee you wish to evolve into Leafeon. The Lure Module needs to be active at the PokéStop while you evolve the Eevee.
This comprehensive guide should help you successfully evolve your Eevee into Leafeon. Remember to check in-game events and actively spin PokéStops to maximize your chances of obtaining Mossy Lure Modules. Happy evolving!
