Eevee, the cute, fox-like Pokemon, is known to have many evolutions; all represent eight different Types or elements in the Pokemon world. These evolutions are called “Eeveelutions” in the Pokemon community. Obviously, catching an Eevee and evolving it into one of eight Types sounds like a huge hassle, especially since each of them has different prerequisites to evolve properly. Thankfully, a simple “name trick” in Pokemon GO lets you evolve an Eevee into a specific Eeveelutions, allowing you to obtain all the evolutions in no time.
Pokemon GO – All Eevee Evolutions Name Trick
The name trick is the easiest way to get all of the Eevee evolutions; just change the default Eevee’s name into one of the names below. But do remember that this trick can only be done once per Eeveelution! With that in mind, this is only useful to obtain one of every Eeveelution, and you will want to use it on Eevees with good CPs and skills.
You can rename your Eevee by pressing the pencil icon next to its default name. Feed it 25 Eevee Candy and make sure the Eevee will evolve into a proper Eeveelution by checking the Pokemon silhouette next to the Evolve button.
Name | Eeveelution | Type |
Rainer | Vaporeon | Water |
Sparky | Jolteon | Electric |
Pyro | Flareon | Fire |
Sakura | Espeon | Psychic |
Tamao | Umbreon | Dark |
Rea | Glaceon | Ice |
Linnea | Leafeon | Grass |
Kira | Sylveon | Fairy |
Pokemon Go – How To Evolve Eevee Normally
Now, in case you have used up all of the name tricks and still want to catch more Eeveelutions, here’s how you can evolve your Eevee through the hard ways:
- Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon:
When you give your Eevee 25 Eevee Candy and nothing else, there is a 33% chance that it will evolve into either a Vaporeon, Flareon, or Jolteon. Sometimes, the basic elemental Eeveelution trio can appear as a boss in Raid Gyms. You will have the opportunity to capture one of them in your collection if you defeat them.
- Espeon and Umbreon:
An Eevee can only evolve into Espeon and Umbreon during a specific time of the day. First, you have to take a walk for a total of 10 kilometers with Eevee as a Buddy, then feed it 25 Candy to evolve it. If it is done during the day, your Eevee will turn into Espeon. As you can expect, it will turn into Umbreon if you do it during the night.
- Glaceon and Leafeon:
For Glaceon or Leafeon, you will have to spend 200 Pokecoins. Open the in-game store and buy the Glacial Lure Module (for Glaceon) or Mossy Lure Module (for Leafeon). Then go to a PokeStop and install the Module and select the Eevee you want to evolve into one of them. Once you see a Glaceon/Leafeon icon, press it. You should be able to do this as often as you want as long as the Module is still active.
- Sylveon:
For the last Eeveelutions, you will have to utilize the Buddy Hearts System. Assign an Eevee to be your Buddy and earn 70 Hearts. You can do this by:
- Walking together (1 Heart for every 2 kilometers).
- Battle with your Pokemon Buddy.
- Play with your Buddy.
- And feed them treats.
