Want to add the Fairy-type Sylveon to your Pokémon GO team? This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on how to evolve Eevee into its graceful final form. We'll cover all the necessary steps, ensuring you successfully add this powerful Pokémon to your collection.
Understanding Sylveon's Evolution Requirements
Unlike some Eeveelutions that rely on specific items or times of day, evolving Eevee into Sylveon in Pokémon GO requires meeting a specific condition: Buddy up with your Eevee and earn a certain amount of hearts.
This isn't just about walking your Eevee; it's about building a strong bond. Let's break down the process:
1. Buddy Up Your Eevee
First, select the Eevee you want to evolve as your buddy Pokémon. You can do this from your Pokémon list by selecting the Eevee and tapping the "Buddy" button.
2. Earn Hearts
Now the crucial part: earning hearts with your Eevee buddy. You can earn hearts by:
- Walking with your Eevee: The more you walk together, the more hearts you'll earn.
- Giving Eevee treats: Feeding your buddy Eevee treats will quickly increase your hearts.
- Taking snapshots: Take photos of your Eevee buddy.
- Playing with your Eevee: Use the "Play" feature to interact with your buddy.
Important Note: The exact number of hearts required isn't explicitly stated by Niantic, but generally, 70 hearts is the commonly accepted amount needed to trigger the evolution. Don't worry about being precise; keep interacting with your Eevee until the evolve button changes.
3. Evolving Your Eevee
Once you've earned enough hearts, return to your Pokémon screen. You should now see the Sylveon evolution option available for your Eevee. Tap the "Evolve" button, and congratulations—you've successfully evolved your Eevee into Sylveon!
Troubleshooting Tips
- Check your buddy status: Make sure your Eevee is still your active buddy.
- Sufficient hearts: Ensure you've earned enough hearts through various interactions.
- Game updates: Keep your Pokémon GO app updated to the latest version.
Maximizing Your Chances of Success
- Use plenty of treats: Giving Eevee treats is a very efficient method for gaining hearts.
- Regular interaction: Don't just walk your Eevee, interact with it regularly through play and snapshots.
- Patience is key: Building the bond required for this evolution takes time and consistent effort.
With this detailed guide, you’re well-equipped to add Sylveon to your Pokémon GO roster. Remember, building that bond with your Eevee is key! Good luck, and happy evolving!
