How to evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go

You’ll 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 evolution is to use the name trick, which involves renaming an Eevee with a specific codename. 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 evolution you want, but you can only do it once per Eeveelution, meaning 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 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, or 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 for Umbreon, except you need to evolve the Pokemon at night instead. 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 bought in 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 on your favorite Eevee.
• Glaceon: Find a nearby PokeStop and place a Glacial Lure Module on it. Make sure you’re in range, then hit the Evolve button on your favorite Eevee.

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. Though this time, it’s not about walking a specific distance, it’s about how many Hearts you’ve earned.

After making the Normal-type Eevee your Buddy and earning 70 Hearts, you should be able to 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 together, taking snapshots with them, and spinning new PokeStops or Gyms.
