How to evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go: All Eevee evolutions and name trick

Pokemon Go features all eight distinct evolutions of Eevee found in the Pokemon universe, providing players with an abundance of choices. This guide will help you navigate the complexities of acquiring each Eeveelution in the game. 

Every Eevee evolution is available in Pokemon Go, but with eight different options, it’s not immediately obvious how to get them all. Like in the main series games, each Eeveelution requires a different evolutionary method.

Whether you’re drawn to the fiery energy of Flareon or the icy coolness of Glaceon, you’ll need at least one of each Eeveelution if you want to complete the Pokedex. Beyond that, these Pokemon make for adorable and powerful allies.

Here’s a rundown of exactly how you can get every Eevee evolution in Pokemon Go.

How to evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go

You only need 25 Candy to evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go, which makes this a relatively cheap evolution process. However, you’ll need to utilize some extra tricks to make sure you get the Eeveelution you want.

The easiest way to evolve Eevee into your desired form is to use the name trick. This involves giving Eevee a specific nickname. We’ve detailed all of those in the section below.

Pokemon Go Eevee evolutions name trick

The nicknames you’ll need to rename your Eevee to for each evolution are as follows:

Using the nickname trick is by far the easiest way to get the Eeveelution you want, but you can only do it once per Eevee evolution. Every following evolution will require a different approach.

To rename your Eevee, simply tap the pencil icon next to its name while in the ‘Pokemon’ menu. Make sure you enter the right codename and double-check the silhouette before pressing the ‘Evolve’ button.

How to evolve Eevee into Flareon, Jolteon & Vaporeon in Pokemon Go

There’s no surefire way to get Flareon, Jolteon, or Vaporeon outside the single-use name trick, as it’s completely random when you hit the evolve button. You’ll definitely get one of these Eeveelutions – you just can’t choose which one it will be.

This means that you’ll either need to be very lucky to get the one you want on your first try. To get them all, you’ll need to catch multiple Eevee and stock up on lots of Candy, as the evolution costs 25 Candy every time.

How to evolve Eevee into Umbreon & Espeon in Pokemon Go

Unlike the previous evolutions, Umbreon and Espeon don’t evolve from Eevee at random. They require specific actions to get them:

• Espeon: For this Psychic-type, you’ll need to make Eevee your Buddy and walk 10km with them. After this, the ‘Evolve’ button should show the silhouette of Espeon during the day.
• Umbreon: The method is almost identical to Espeon, requiring you to walk 10km with Eevee. However, you need to evolve Eevee at night instead to get Umbreon. You can tell if it’s considered nighttime because the in-game sky will be dark.

How to evolve Eevee into Leafeon & Glaceon in Pokemon Go

To evolve the Gen 4 Eeveelutions – Leafeon and Glaceon – you’ll need specific Lure Modules that can be purchased from the in-game shop for 200 PokeCoins or earned through Research tasks.

Here are the steps you need to follow to get these Eeveelutions:

• Leafeon: Go to a nearby PokeStop and place a Mossy Lure Module on it. Make sure you’re in range, then hit the Evolve button.
• Glaceon: Find a nearby PokeStop and place a Glacial Lure Module on it. Make sure you’re in range, then hit the Evolve button.

How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokemon Go

To get Sylveon, you’ll need to make Eevee your Buddy again, just like with Espeon and Umbreon. However, this time, it’s not about walking a specific distance – it’s about how many Hearts you’ve earned.

After making Eevee your Buddy, you’ll have to earn 70 Hearts with it to achieve Best Buddy status before you can evolve it into the Fairy-type Sylveon. This is no easy feat, though, so prepare to spend some time on it.

You can earn Hearts with your Buddy by feeding them treats, playing with them, walking long distances together, battling, taking snapshots with them, and spinning new PokeStops or Gyms.
