Pokemon Go Eevee Evolutions: How to evolve to Sylveon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Vaporeon, Jolteon & Flareon

CUTE normal type Pokemon Eevee has been around since the very first games launched in 1996.

It’s unstable DNA code allowed players to evolve Eevee into one of eight different evolutions and Pokémon GO is no different.

How to evolve Eevee in Pokémon GO?

There’s a simple trick Pokémon GO fanatics need to do to evolve Eevee into whichever beloved evolution (or Eeveelution) you want.

Players have to simply nickname their Eevee a certain name but this trick only works for the first time you get that Eeveelution in your Pokedex.

Evolving any Pokemon in the mobile game requires a certain number of candies, which can be collected in varies ways in the game.

Players must capture an Eevee and use 25 candies to evolve it.

• Rename Eevee as Kira to evolve into fairy-type Sylveon
• Rename Eevee as Linnea to evolve into leaf-type Leafeon
• Rename Eevee as Rea to evolve into ice-type Glaceon
• Rename Eevee as Sakura to evolve into psychic-type Espeon
• Rename Eevee as Tamao to evolve into Dark-type Umbreon
• Rename Eevee as Rainer to evolve into water-type Vaporeon
• Rename Eevee as Sparky to evolve into lightning-type Jolteon
• Rename Eevee as Pyro to evolve into fire-type Flareon

How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon

In order to duplicate this process, you’ve got to get an Eevee as your buddy.

This is the newest Eeveelution, introduced in 2013 with other new fairy types.

You need a high level of friendship to evolve into this form and Pokémon go is no different.

Collect 70 hearts with it and this will be enough for it to become a great buddy.

After that, the option should appear to evolve an additional Sylveon, as long as you have enough candies.

How to evolve Eevee into Espeon

Much like the original games this psychic type only evolves during the day.

Go on a long walk with Eevee as your buddy during the day and it will evolve into Espeon.

You need to walk at least 10km and earn two candies as you go.

Make sure you keep Eevee as your buddy while evolving.

How to evolve Eevee into Umbreon

Similar to Espeon, Umbreon the dark type Eeveelution needs to be your buddy while on a long walk.

However, this time you need to walk at night for at least 10km if you want this popular evolution.

Make sure it is night (or day for Espeon) in the game itself, not just outside.

Pokemon Go Twitch streamer BattleBill told the Sun that Umbreon is his favourite out of all the Eeveelutions.

He said: “It is the best Eeveelution to use in Pokemon Go Battle League Pvp”.

How to evolve Eevee into Leafeon

If you’re wanting a second Leafeon the naming trick will no longer work.

This final form for Eevee can be achieved using Pokémon GO’s lures.

If you’re at a Pokéstop, use a Mossy Lure.

When in range with the lure active, you will have the option to evolve your Eevee by feeing it enough candies.

This will also attract bug, grass and poison type Pokémon to the area.

How to evolve Eevee into Glaceon

Glaceon is another Eeveelution you can use a lure module to evolve.

This one needs, as the name suggests, a Glacial Lure.

Once again go to your chosen Eevee and select evolve which will give you your Glaceon.

How to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon

For the remaining Eeveelutions sadly you’ll need luck on your side.

These can only be gained through the naming trick, in this case calling your Eevee Rainer.

If you’re hoping for a second Vaporeon, you can evolve your Eevee and see what happens.

For Twitch streamer Ccoftw, Vaporeon is his choice of Eeveelution.

He said: “It’s definitely the sleekest of all of them in my opinion.

“I really like water types and I remember it was my first perfect Pokemon in Pokemon Go.

“I have chills just thinking about it, more than five years ago now, where it all began!”

How to evolve Eevee into Jolteon

Your first Jolteon can be achieved by naming it Sparky and evolving it.

Any Jolteon that come after will have to be randomly selected from Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon.

There is no trick, module or walk you can do to force a specific evolution.

How to evolve Eevee into Flareon

Finally Flareon, the fire-type from the original games.

If you have a soft spot for this Pokémon, or are looking to fill out your Pokédex you will need to hope it is randomly chosen.

If you have already named one Pyro, your second Flareon will be a case of evolving an Eevee and praying the game picks it for you.
