A Complete Guide to Getting Every Eeveelution in Pokémon Go

Ah, the beloved Eevee and its captivating evolutions – a true source of fascination for Pokémon enthusiasts! If you're on a quest to amass a collection of these versatile, fox-like creatures, you've come to the right place. Prepare to embark on an adventure filled with strategic evolution techniques and unlock the secrets of the Eeveelutions in Pokémon GO.

To evolve Eevee into one of its many forms, you’ll need to use 25 Eevee Candy. However, the evolution you get will be random unless you use specific tricks to guide the process. For those aiming to collect each Eeveelution, there are several methods you can follow to get the exact evolution you want.

Using the Name Trick to Get Specific Eevee Evolutions

One of the simplest ways to guarantee a specific Eeveelution is by renaming your Eevee before evolving it. Each name corresponds to a different evolution, and using the name trick will ensure you get the desired form—at least once.

Important: The name trick only works once per evolution. For example, if you’ve already used “Sparky” to get Jolteon, using it again won’t guarantee a Jolteon next time.

Here’s a list of the names to use:

Evolving Eevee Without the Name Trick

If you’ve already used the name trick and want to get more of a specific evolution, you’ll need to use other methods. Some evolutions are random, while others require specific actions while Eevee is set as your buddy or when you use certain Lure Modules.

Evolving Eevee into Jolteon, Flareon, or Vaporeon

Unfortunately, evolving Eevee into Jolteon, Flareon, or Vaporeon is purely random. You’ll need to use 25 Eevee Candy to evolve, but the result will be one of these three. To avoid accidentally getting a different Eeveelution, make sure your Eevee hasn’t met the criteria for other specific evolutions.

Evolving Eevee into Umbreon or Espeon

To evolve Eevee into Umbreon or Espeon, you need to walk 10 kilometers with Eevee as your buddy. Afterward, evolving your buddy Eevee during the night will give you Umbreon, while evolving it during the day will result in Espeon. Remember, Eevee must still be your buddy when you initiate the evolution.

Evolving Eevee into Leafeon or Glaceon

Leafeon and Glaceon can be reliably evolved by using special Lure Modules. To get Leafeon, spin a Pokéstop with a Mossy Lure, and for Glaceon, use a Glacial Lure. After spinning the Pokéstop, the next Eevee you evolve will become Leafeon or Glaceon, respectively. Ensure you’re within range of the Lure Module when evolving, and you’ll see the evolution icon change to the desired form.

Evolving Eevee into Sylveon

To evolve Eevee into Sylveon, you have earn 70 hearts with it after setting it as your buddy. This process will take several days of regular play, but you can speed it up by using Poffins to increase the number of hearts earned daily.

Can Eevee and Its Evolutions Be Shiny?

Yes, Eevee and all its evolutions can be shiny in Pokémon Go. However, Eevee doesn’t have an increased shiny rate, making shiny Eevees somewhat rare. If you’re lucky, you might have snagged some during the Eevee Community Day in August 2021, which boosted the shiny rate. If not, you might be able to trade with long-time players who have extras.

With these strategies, you’ll be well on your way to collecting every Eeveelution in Pokémon Go! Happy hunting!
