Welcome, Pokémon Trainers! I’m GeekGamer, and today I’m bringing you the ultimate guide on how to evolve Eevee in Pokémon Go and unlock all its forms.
If you’ve ever wondered how to get your Eevee to become that awesome Vaporeon, Espeon, or even Sylveon, you’re in the right place! I’ll give you all the details, tricks, and tips you need to master the process. I’ve been playing Pokémon Go since the early days, and trust me, there’s no better feeling than filling your Pokédex with all the Eevee evolutions.
Eevee and Its Evolutions in Pokémon Go
Eevee, that tiny, lovable Pokémon, has more evolution options than I have when choosing dinner! In Pokémon Go, Eevee stands out not only for its cute looks but also for its ability to evolve into a lineup of powerful forms covering multiple types.
Get ready for an evolution adventure with more twists than a Poké Ball rolling down a hill.
Reminder: For any evolution, you need 25 Eevee candies
The Name Change Trick
All you need to do is rename the Eevee you want to evolve with the specific name tied to each evolution. Here’s a table to make it clearer for you.
| Eevee Evolution | Pokemon | Code Name |
|---|---|---|
| Vaporeon |  | Rainer |
| Jolteon |  | Sparky |
| Flareon |  | Pyro |
| Espeon |  | Sakura |
| Umbreon |  | Tamao |
| Leafeon |  | Linnea |
| Glaceon |  | Rea |
| Sylveon |  | Kira |
How to Evolve Eevee into Vaporeon?
If you want to evolve your beloved Eevee into Vaporeon in Pokémon Go, it’s super easy. No need to stress over special stones or anything complicated.
All you have to do is use the nickname trick. Here’s how: take your Eevee, give it the nickname “Rainer”, and boom—you’ve got yourself a Vaporeon! Keep in mind, though, that the nickname trick only works once, so use it wisely. If you’ve already used it, then it’s down to random chance (yes, like rolling dice). But if luck’s on your side, you’ll get a Vaporeon.
I like to save up a few Eevee for this gamble because you never know when you’ll need a water tank to crush gyms. Vaporeon always comes in clutch!
How to Evolve Eevee into Jolteon?
Evolving Eevee into Jolteon in Pokémon Go is one of those things that can make you sweat a bit because there’s no guaranteed way—don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! If you’re hoping your Eevee turns into a lightning master, first try the nickname trick. Name it “Sparky”, and voilà—Jolteon’s yours! But, just like with Vaporeon, this only works once, so don’t get too excited.
If you’ve already used this trick, then Eevee’s evolution will be random between Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon. Cross your fingers and hope for electricity! Sometimes I’ll sacrifice a Pikachu to the Pokémon gods (just kidding—but you get it). Good luck with your next electric powerhouse!
How to Evolve Eevee into Flareon?
If you want your Eevee to evolve into Flareon, the fire Pokémon, in Pokémon Go, you’re in luck because it’s easy. First, there’s the classic name trick. Name your Eevee “Pyro”, and bam—it’ll evolve straight into Flareon, no hassle. This trick works only once, so choose wisely.
If you’ve already used the Pyro trick, then it’s a random evolution between Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon. So, you’re rolling the dice and hoping for the fire-breather instead of the water-blaster or electric type.
How to Evolve Eevee into Espeon?
To evolve Eevee into Espeon in Pokémon Go, here’s the psychic trick, and believe me, it’s easier than it sounds. First, if you want a quick method, nickname your Eevee “Sakura” before evolving it. That guarantees an Espeon—but only once! So, don’t waste that trick carelessly.
If you’ve used up that name trick or want to do it the traditional way, set Eevee as your buddy and walk 10 km with it. Make sure you show it some love and keep it with you. Then, evolve it during the day, and voilà—you’ll have your Espeon ready to unleash its psychic powers.
How to Evolve Eevee into Umbreon?
If you want to evolve Eevee into Umbreon in Pokémon Go, here’s where things get dark…in a good way! Just like with Espeon, the easiest trick is to rename your Eevee to “Tamao”. This will guarantee an Umbreon—but only once, so use it wisely, like any good Trainer would.
If you’ve already used that option, then do the same as with Espeon: set Eevee as your buddy and walk 10 km with it. But here’s the twist—you need to evolve it at night! Wait until the sun goes down, and your Eevee will become Umbreon, master of the dark.
How to Evolve Eevee into Leafeon?
If you want to turn Eevee into Leafeon in Pokémon Go, good news: it’s straightforward and low-stress. All you need is a Mossy Lure Module. Go to a PokéStop, activate the module, and evolve Eevee while standing near the stop. Of course, you’ll still need the usual 25 Eevee candies. And that’s it—a fresh Leafeon, ready to slice and dice with razor-sharp leaves.
If you don’t have a Mossy Lure, you can buy one in the game store, though you’ll need some coins. If you feel like investing a bit, it’s the fastest way to get your Leafeon.
How to Evolve Eevee into Glaceon?
If you want to turn your Eevee into Glaceon in Pokémon Go, here’s the recipe to add this icy Pokémon to your team. This one requires a Glacial Lure Module. Head to a PokéStop, activate the glacial module, and evolve Eevee while you’re near it. And boom—a fresh, cool Glaceon.
How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon?
To evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokémon Go, you need to show it all the love you’ve got (literally). First, make Eevee your buddy and rack up 70 friendship hearts. Yup, 70! But don’t worry, giving it love is as simple as feeding it, walking it, and playing with it every day.
If you want to guarantee Sylveon on the first try, you can use the name trick too by calling it “Kira” before evolving—but remember, this works only once.
Sylveon is worth the effort because it’s a Fairy-type beast in battles, perfect for knocking out those pesky Dragon-types. Plus, it’s adorable! So go earn those hearts, because Sylveon will be a star in your team.
