Catching an Eevee is exciting, but the real fun begins with its evolution! This adorable Normal-type Pokémon boasts eight incredible evolutions, each with unique stats and types. This guide will walk you through every method, ensuring you add all the Eeveelutions to your Pokédex.
Understanding Eevee's Evolutions
Eevee's versatility is its charm. You can evolve it 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
Evolving Eevee Using Nicknames: The Classic Method
This method uses special nicknames to guarantee a specific evolution. Important: This trick only works once per evolution. After using a nickname, subsequent Eevee evolutions will require a different method.
- Vaporeon: Rename your Eevee "Rainer" before evolving.
- Jolteon: Rename your Eevee "Sparky" before evolving.
- Flareon: Rename your Eevee "Pyro" before evolving.
Evolving Eevee with Candy and Stardust: The Standard Method
If you've already used the nickname trick or want to evolve multiple Eeveelutions, you'll need sufficient Eevee Candy and Stardust. Simply select the Eevee you want to evolve and tap the "Evolve" button. This method is entirely random, meaning you might not get the Eeveelution you desire on your first try. Be prepared for some grinding!
Evolving Eevee Using Evolution Items: For Leafeon and Glaceon
Leafeon and Glaceon require special evolution items:
- Leafeon: Requires a Mossyblitzen. You obtain these by spinning PokéStops near a certain location.
- Glaceon: Requires a Glacial Lure. Similar to Mossyblitzen, you obtain these by spinning PokéStops and using them in a lure module to attract Glacial Pokémon.
Finding Mossyblitzen and Glacial Lure Modules: These items are not always available and can be location-specific. Check in-game events and community days for increased chances of obtaining them.
Evolving Eevee into Sylveon: A Friendship Requirement
Sylveon, the Fairy-type Eeveelution, requires you to buddy an Eevee and earn 70 hearts before evolving. This demonstrates friendship. After earning the hearts, you can simply evolve the Eevee. This method is ideal for building your Pokémon's friendship, which will boost your chances in future raids and battles.
Evolving Eevee into Espeon and Umbreon: The Time of Day Method
For Espeon and Umbreon, the time of day matters.
- Espeon: Make Eevee your buddy during the daytime and earn at least 70 hearts before evolving.
- Umbreon: Make Eevee your buddy during the nighttime and earn at least 70 hearts before evolving.
Maximizing Your Eevee Evolution Success
- Stock up on Eevee Candy: Use Pinap Berries to maximize candy gain when catching Eevee.
- Complete Research Tasks: Special research tasks often reward Eevee Candy and evolution items.
- Participate in Events: Keep an eye out for events that boost Eevee spawns and offer evolution bonuses.
- Be Patient: Evolving Eevee can take time and effort; don't get discouraged!
This comprehensive guide will help you successfully evolve your Eevee into all its magnificent forms. Happy evolving, Trainer!
