  • How To Get Each Eeveelution in Pokemon Go

With eight fun evolutions, Eevee is a delightful pocket monster to have as a companion. Once you’ve gathered all eightย variations, how do you decide which is the best toย actuallyย use? Some are great in PvP, while others are ideal for PvE.ย Meanwhile, some canย kind ofย float in the background.ย Let’s figure out the best Eevee evolutions inย Pokemon Go, AKA the best Eeveelutions.

8. Flareon

Kicking things off with the less-than-ideal Eeveelution, Flareon easily nabs the bottom spot. It looks as cool as the rest of the variants. However, there’s not much substance there in terms of using it. It’s outclassed just about everywhere, and there are ample Fire-type Pokemon you can use instead. Flareon is always a nice Eevee evolution to keep for the collection in Pokemon Go and not much else.

7. Jolteon

In the early Pokemon Go stages, Jolteon was easily a favorite Electric-type. It boasted heavy hits and knocked out opponents with ease. But things rapidly change, and with those changes come more incredible Electric-types like Zapdos and Raikou. Jolteon doesn’t hurt to use in PvE, especially once you improve its stats, but it remains low compared to other Eeveelutions.

6. Leafeon

If you focus on non-Legendary Pokemon, Leafeon can only benefit your party. More so if you lack any other strongerย Grass-types. A high-level Leafeon can destroy opponents weak to its type in Master League.ย It’sย kind ofย a sponge, though, so use it to wear down weaker enemies and not as your finisher.

5. Glaceon

Not everyoneย nabs Ice-types inย Pokemon Go, so Glaceon is aย greatย Eevee evolution to rely on in this case.ย Save this one for the Master League or Gyms since they usually feature Dragon-types. Glaceon will shine in these areas. The only thing that keeps it so low in my ranking is that itย justย doesn’t have a big move set to play with.

4. Espeon

Espeon is the Eevee evolution you either like orย downrightย ignore inย Pokemon Go. It depends on how you want to play.ย On the one hand, it’s a topย Psychic-typeย pocket monster that’s notย Legendaryย status.ย If you don’t have any stronger contenders, it pays well to keep Espeon in the party for PvE and sometimes PvP. Otherwise, many fighters in each League can take it out with little difficulty.

3. Vaporeon

Vaporeon is yet another Eeveelution outclassed byย strongerย additions inย Pokemon Go. But it still ranks high on my list. It’s perfect if you don’t have any otherย Water-typesย in your party. And even if you do, increasing Vaporeon’s level isย easierย than the rest. Keep it for PvE, and you’ll typically come out on top. But with its high HP, it can takeย a good deal ofย damage before fainting, too.

2. Umbreon

When you need a tank, you call Umbreon.ย Theย cap inย Great League and Ultra League allows it to reach incredible stat levels, increasingย bothย how well it can take damage and dish it back out.ย Umbreon remains one of the best Dark-type Pokemon to use in those Leagues. Give it a try, and you’ll have a hard timeย everย removing it from your lineup.

1. Sylveon

My all-time favorite Eeveeย evolutionย inย Pokemon Goย remains Sylveon. The Fairy-type only has two weaknesses (Poison and Steel), so it can easily tank and decimate other opponents inย PvPย Master League. Of course, if you have the likes of Togekiss, you don’t need Sylveon much. But for those who haven’t caught the more powerfulย Fairy-types, Sylveon shouldn’t fail you. Plus, it looks too charmingย notย to use.

Although the ranking is simply howย I feelย each Eeveelution works, the best way to discover your favorite evolution for Eevee inย Pokemon Goย is to play with each one.ย Ifย you’re strugglingย to getย any of these, theย nickname trickย below will guarantee specific variants.ย It only works once, though. All you need to do is change your Eevee’s nickname and evolve it to get theย specificย Eeveelution:

EeveelutionNickname Needed
EspeonSakura
FlareonPyro
GlaceonRea
JolteonSparky
LeafeonLinnea
SylveonKira
UmbreonTamao
VaporeonRainer

If you’ve already done the nickname trick and want more specific Eeveelutions, you can also do the more specific things listed in the table below. They may take more time, but you’ll still come away with more Eevee evolutions to play with in Pokemon Go:
