Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Eevee

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players will likely be eager to spot an Eevee for their starting team. This guide will tell you where to find this adorable Pokemon, and how to evolve it into one of its eight Eeveelutions.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet fans will again be able to look forward to Eevee and its eight “Eeveelutions” while exploring the Paldea region. The adorable mascot for the franchise is heavily sought after by players of any generation due to its versatility on a team.

Eevee can learn a variety of moves, and can be evolved into eight different Pokemon types to help fill gaps on a team. Someone lacking a Water-type can aim to raise a Vaporeon while a player in need of a solid Fire-type will want a Flareon.

Because it can evolve into eight different types, there are also a variety of different weaknesses and resistances Eevee and its evolutions can obtain. Players can even choose to catch multiple Eevee in order to raise a team of different Eeveelutions to travel through the Paldea region with.

Does Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have a new Eeveelution?

Currently, Scarlet & Violet do not have a new Eeveelution.

How to Evolve Eevee into Espeon

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet fans who need a powerful Psychic-type will want to evolve their Eevee into Espeon.

Espeon is one of two Eeveelutions from the Johto region of Gen 2. It can be obtained by evolving Eevee during the daytime with a high Happiness level.

Items like the Soothe Bell can help raise Pokemon Happiness, as well as grooming it, feeding it, and using it in battle.

How to Evolve Eevee into Umbreon

How to Evolve Eevee into Leafeon

Unlike the previous Eeveelutions, Leafeon has had an interesting progression with its evolution requirements. Despite this, it is a great Grass-type pick for Eevee fans.

Leafeon is one of two Eeveelutions introduced during Sinnoh’s Gen 4. Originally, it evolved by having a successful battle beside the Mossy Rock.

However, in recent games this has been changed. Players can now evolve their Eevee into Leafeon by using a Leaf Stone on it.

How to Evolve Eevee into Glaceon

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players can benefit greatly from evolving their Eevee into the Ice-type Glaceon.

Ice Stones can be found hidden around maps, purchased from stores, or given as gifts by NPCs.

How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon

Introduced in Generation 6’s Kalos region, the Fairy-type Eeveelution Sylveon is one of the most popular evolution options for Eevee trainers.

Obtaining Sylveon can be a lot of work. First, players must either catch an Eevee that knows a Fairy-type move or teach an Eevee a Fairy-type move before it evolves into something else. As a result, the Eevee will have a very high Friendship level with its trainer.

While evolving Sylveon can take a lot of work, powerful attacks like Moonblast make it an effort with making.
