Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon, is a fan favorite known for its multiple evolutionary paths. Catching and evolving Eevee in Pokémon GO can be a fun and rewarding experience, but knowing how to get specific evolutions can be tricky. This guide will walk you through every method, ensuring you can add all of Eevee's evolutions to your Pokédex.
What are Eevee's Evolutions in Pokémon GO?
Eevee boasts a diverse range of evolutions, each with unique types and stats. In Pokémon GO, you can evolve Eevee into:
- Vaporeon: Water-type
- Jolteon: Electric-type
- Flareon: Fire-type
- Espeon: Psychic-type
- Umbreon: Dark-type
- Leafeon: Grass-type
- Glaceon: Ice-type
- Sylveon: Fairy-type
How to Evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon: The Classic Method
Initially, evolving Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon was random. However, a clever naming trick ensures you get the evolution you want. Before evolving, rename your Eevee to one of the following names:
- Rainer: Evolves into Vaporeon.
- Sparky: Evolves into Jolteon.
- Pyro: Evolves into Flareon.
Important Note: This trick only works once per evolution line. After using one of these names, you'll have to evolve subsequent Eevee using other methods.
How to Evolve Eevee into Espeon and Umbreon: The Buddy System
Espeon and Umbreon require a different approach. You must first set your Eevee as your buddy Pokémon. Then:
- Espeon: Walk 10 kilometers with your Eevee buddy during the day (before 8 PM). Then, evolve it.
- Umbreon: Walk 10 kilometers with your Eevee buddy at night (after 8 PM). Then, evolve it.
Remember that the time of day is based on your device's clock, not necessarily the actual time of day.
How to Evolve Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon: Using Lures
Leafeon and Glaceon require the use of special Lure Modules:
- Leafeon: Use a Mossy Lure Module at a PokéStop, then evolve your Eevee while it's within range of the lure.
- Glaceon: Use a Glacial Lure Module at a PokéStop, then evolve your Eevee while it's within range of the lure.
These lures can be obtained from various in-game events or purchased from the in-game shop.
How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon: The Friendship Method
Sylveon requires a high friendship level with your Eevee. Buddy your Eevee and interact with it frequently to increase your friendship level. Once you reach "Great Friend" status (and have obtained a minimum of 70 hearts), you can evolve your Eevee into Sylveon.
What are the best Eevee evolutions?
The "best" Eevee evolution depends heavily on your gameplay style and what you need for raids, gyms, or PvP battles. Each has strengths and weaknesses:
- Vaporeon: High HP and powerful Water attacks make it excellent for Gyms and Raids.
- Jolteon: High attack stat, great for quick raids.
- Flareon: High attack stat, though it can be fragile.
- Espeon: Strong Psychic attacker.
- Umbreon: Good defender with high HP.
- Leafeon: Strong Grass attacker.
- Glaceon: Strong Ice attacker.
- Sylveon: Strong Fairy attacker with high HP.
Can you evolve Eevee into any evolution multiple times?
No, the naming trick only works once per evolution. You must use the buddy system or lure methods for subsequent evolutions of those types.
How many Eevee can I evolve per day?
There's no daily limit on Eevee evolutions, provided you meet the requirements for each evolution method.
By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to completing your Eevee evolution collection in Pokémon GO! Remember to have enough candy and stardust to initiate the evolutions. Happy evolving!
