Evolve Eevee Into All Its Evolutions

So, you want to evolve Eevee into all its "Eeveelutions"? There are eight evolutions in total, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Start with Step 1 below to learn how to evolve all eight from an Eevee!

Steps

Evolving Eevee in Pokémon GO

  1. Know what evolutions are possible. As of July 31st, 2016, the only Pokémon available in Pokémon GO those from the 1st generation- the original Pokémon from Red, Blue and Green. This means that while Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon are available, those from later generations (Umbreon, Sylveon, Leafeon, Espeon, and Glaceon) are not available yet. Stay tuned for the release of these Pokémon!
  2. Find and catch an Eevee. Eevee is a relatively common Normal-type Pokémon, so it can be found quite easily in suburbs or town centers. You are less likely to find Eevee in areas that contain lots of Bug or Water Pokémon, such as forests or near water.[1] When you find Eevee, whip out that PokéBall and Play-Pokémon-GO.
  3. Name your Eevee according to your preferred evolution. In Pokémon GO, Eevee's role serves as an homage to the Eevee Brothers from the original Pokémon anime. The names of the Eevee Brothers were Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro, and they owned a Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon, respectively. So, name your Eevee as follows depending on how you would like it to evolve:[2]
    • Tap into your Pokémon and select the Eevee you want to evolve. To the right of the name there is a light gray pencil icon. Press that icon, type the name you want, and hit OK.
    • Sparky - Eevee will evolve into Jolteon
    • Rainer - Eevee will evolve into Vaporeon
    • Pyro - Eevee will evolve into Flareon
  4. Give your Eevee 25 candy. Go to your Pokémon. Select the Eevee you want to evolve and hit the "Evolve" button. Once you do, it will evolve depending on the name you gave it upon catching it!
    • All Pokémon all have their own candy and will only respond to that candy. You can see how much candy you have when you tap into that Pokémon's profile.
    • There are 3 ways you can get candy: by catching that Pokémon, by trading excess of the same Pokémon to Professor Willow, and by hatching eggs.[3]

Catching an Eevee in Pokémon

  1. Before you start, you'll need to find an Eevee. Depending on the game, the locations and situations on finding an Eevee is different.
    • In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, the first Eevee is given as gift from Bebe in Hearthome City. The second is found by going to the Trophy Garden and talking to Mr.Backlot (only some days). Note that you may need the National Pokédex to get one.
    • In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Eevees can be found on Route 115 as hidden pokemon.

Evolving into Flareon, Vaporeon, or Jolteon

  1. Use a Fire Stone on Eevee to evolve Flareon. Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon are all evolved from Eevee in similar ways - by using special elemental "stone" items. To evolve a Flareon, for instance, use a Fire stone on it.
    • Fire stones can be found at the Fuego Ironworks in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. They are also very common in the Underground.
    • Flareon is a good Pokémon if you want a high attack level. In fact, it has the highest Attack of all Fire Types, tied with Ho-Oh. It also has Flash Fire, an ability which powers up Fire moves.
  2. Use a Water Stone on Eevee to evolve Vaporeon. Vaporeon is evolved in the same way as Flareon, only with a Water Stone rather than a Fire Stone.
    • Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum: Only one Water Stone can be found on Route 213; surf is needed to get this stone. In the Underground, unlike the Fire Stone, the Water Stone is very rare and very difficult to find. You can find one water stone in Solaceon Ruins hidden in a rock.
    • Like many Water-Types, Vaporeon's highest stat is its HP. It also has a rather high Special Attack. Its ability is Water Absorb, which heals it when hit with Water-Type moves.
  3. Use a Thunder Stone on Eevee to evolve Jolteon. Finally, Jolteon is evolved by using a Thunder Stone on an Eevee.
    • Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum: Thunder Stones can be found at Sunyshore City (where it is hidden very well) and in the Underground, where they are almost as common as Fire Stones.
    • Jolteon's highest stat is its extraordinary speed. Its ability is Volt Absorb, which, like Water Absorb, heals it when hit by Electric-Type moves.

Evolve into Espeon

  1. Raise Eevee's friendship. Espeon evolves from an Eevee who levels up during the day with a high friendship rating. This means it can take several days to evolve into Espeon. To raise your Eevee's friendship, give it massages (At Veilstone City or Resort Area) and get the Happiness Checker App. If, when you touch its icon, two big hearts appear, you're ready!
  2. Level up your Eevee during the day. Get into battles with your Eevee in the day or morning until it levels up. If its friendship is high enough, it should evolve into Espeon.
  3. In Pokémon XD level up your Eevee while you have the Sun Shard. A man in Gateon Port's Machine Parts Shop gives the player a choice between several different items, including the Sun Shard. If you choose the Sun Shard and level up your Eevee, it will evolve into Espeon.
    • Espeon's highest stats are its Special stats, and its ability, Synchronize, passes on Burns, Poison, or Paralyzed status to the Pokémon that gave it a Burn, Poison or Paralysis.

Evolve into Umbreon

  1. Raise your Eevee's friendship and level it up at night. Like Espeon, Umbreon evolves from an Eevee with a high friendship level. The key difference is that Umbreon only evolves at night. Follow the instructions above on how to raise your Eevee's friendship level.
  2. In Pokémon XD, level Eevee up while you have the Moon Shard. Simply choose the Moon Shard from the man in Gateon Port's Machine Parts Shop, rather than the Sun Shard. Level your Eevee up and you should get an Umbreon!
    • Umbreon's highest stats are its Defense stats (both). Umbreon is a good Pokémon for giving status conditions, especially with its ability Synchronize, explained above in the Espeon section. Umbreon is hands-down one of the best Shiny Pokémon ever had.

Evolve into Leafeon

  1. Find a Moss Rock or Mossy Rock. Leafeon is not a difficult Pokémon to evolve. In fact, you can capture Eevee and evolve it right away just with one level up. All you must do is ensure that you level the Eevee up in the same area as a Moss Rock, of which there are several in the game. Below are a list of locations:
    • Sinnoh: In the Eterna Forest
    • Unova: In the Pinwheel Forest
    • Kalos: In the Winding Woods
    • Hoenn: In the Petalburg Woods
    • Alola: In the Lush Jungle
  2. Level up your Eevee in the same area as the Moss Rock. You don't have to go to the Moss Rock itself - you can level up your Eevee anywhere in the area that contains the Moss Rock. Your Eevee should evolve into a Leafeon!
    • Leafeon's highest stat is its Defense, and its ability, Leaf Guard, prevents status problems when the weather is sunny.

Evolve into Glaceon

  1. Find an Ice Rock. Like Leafeon, you can evolve Glaceon right away after capturing an Eevee. However, doing so requires an Ice Rock, of which there are only a few in the game. Go to one of the areas listed below where ice rocks are located:
    • Sinnoh: Route 217
    • Unova: A room on the bottom floor of the basement of Twist Mountain
    • Kalos: Inside the Frost Cavern in Kalos. (You must have surf)
    • Hoenn: On the lowest floor in Shoal Cave, however only when the tide is low.
    • Alola: Inside the cave in Mount Lanakila
  2. Level up your Eevee near the Ice Rock. Get into battles in the same area as an ice rock and gain experience for your Eevee. You don't have to be right next to the Ice Rock - you can level-it up anywhere within the areas listed above (note that the Twist Mountain Ice Rock requires you to be in the same room as it). When your Eevee gains a level, it should evolve into a Glaceon!
    • Glaceon's highest stats are Defense and Special Attack, and its ability, Snow Cloak, makes it more evasive in Hailstorms.

Evolving into Sylveon

  1. Make sure Eevee has a Fairy-type move. Eevee will naturally evolve into Sylveon if certain important conditions are met. The first of these is that the Eevee must know at least one Fairy-type move. You can catch a wild Eevee with Baby-Doll Eyes (Level 19), or use the move tutor to relearn it.
  2. Get your Eevee to two Pokémon Amie (X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire) or Pokémon Refresh (Sun, Moon) Affection Hearts. Using the care tool in your game, feed the Eevee and play with it until it gets two affection hearts. Your Eevee's current hearts can be seen when selecting another Pokémon to play with.
    • If you are playing Sun and Moon, using a Rainbow Poke Bean will guarantee the friendliness of your Eevee to go up 2 or even 3 affection hearts.
  3. Level up your Eevee. Get into battles and use your Eevee until it gains a level. If both of the conditions above are met, it should evolve into a Sylveon!
    • Sylveon's highest stats are Special Defense and Special Attack. Its ability Cute Charm has a chance of infatuating opponents of the opposite gender if they use a contact move on it.
