Eevee has always been one of the coolest Pokémon in cartoons and games. After all, it has the most evolutions! The problem is that it is not always easy to evolve it to the shape you want. Especially in Pokémon GO . But know that there are ways for you to have just about all of your shapes in this game very simply!
For this you will have to have several Eevees and change their names. That, change their names! But calm: below we explain how to have all the evolutions of this Pokémon using this trick!
Rename Eevee to Evolve It
Basically you can feed an Eevee with 25 Candy from this Pokémon. After that, it will automatically evolve into one of the simplest forms, which can be Vaporeon , Jolteon , Flareon , Umbreon or Espeon . This is the easiest way without a player intrusion.
The point here is that you need to be lucky. Since evolution will occur at random, it will be very difficult to get the Pokémon you want out. In this sense, some players have found that you can interfere with Eevee's evolution by simply changing his name.
But it's not any name! You may remember that in the first season of Pokémon in the Indigo League, Ash meets Eevee's trainer brothers. Almost secretly the creators of GO paid tribute to them. Therefore the names must be:
- Vaporeon: Rename Eevee to Rainer
- Jolteon: Rename Eevee to Sparky
- Flareon: Rename Eevee to Pyro
- Umbreon: Rename Eevee to Tamao
- Espeon: Rename Eevee to Sakura
Be aware of some details here. The first of these is that this tactic only works ONCE with each type of Pokémon. That is, if you used the tactic to have a Jolteon, you will not be able to use it again to have the same Pokémon. And that goes for all Eevee evolutions.
Another thing: restart the game when you rename Eevee. It may be that the server goes down or has some kind of problem, invalidating the rename. In most cases this method was an absolute success. For some players, however, it didn't work out very well. This is usually due to the fact that the name change has been invalidated.
What is the best evolution of Eevee?
Many players wonder what exactly is the best evolution of Eevee in Pokémon GO. This answer can be a bit complex as we are talking about Pokémon of different types. So ideally try to have one of each element:
- Vaporeon: Water Pokémon
- Jolteon: Electric Pokémon
- Flareon: Fire Pokémon
- Umbreon: Dark Pokémon
- Espeon: Psychic Pokémon
- Glaceon: Ice Pokémon
- Leafeon: Pokémon Plant
If you are unable or unwilling to have one of each type, we recommend that you consider your needs. If you like or need a psychic Pokémon, go for Espeon! Also, remember that the CP of each Pokémon is very important. If Eevee does not have high Combat Points, it will evolve and remain weak.
The only thing we can say with certainty, and based on player comments, is that Umbreon is one of the worst. It is quite weak against most other Pokémon due to its type, being a less interesting choice than the others.
Another way to get Umbreon and Espeon
Do you remember that in games like Pokémon Silver or any others that have Jotho Pokémon there is a special way to get Umbreon and Espeon. Eevee evolves to the first if trained only at night. Espeon is obtained when Eevee is trained by day.
Well, the same can be done on Pokémon GO . This ensures that you have both of these types guaranteed without having to use the name change trick.
The method is simple but needs to be followed strictly. Put Eevee as a partner. Walk exactly 10 kilometers with him, having to get 2 Candies in this process. If it is at night, upgrade it and you will have Umbreon. If you prefer Espeon, do it during the day!
How to get Glaceon and Leafeon in Pokémon GO
The name exchange method may work to get Glaceon and Leafeon, but the chances of that happening are very slim. If you want to try, rename the first to Rea and the second to Linnea.
The most guaranteed way to have these two monsters is by using a special item called the Lure Model. This item creates an environment in which certain Pokémon can evolve. This is the case, among others, of Eevee, but only for Leafeon and Glaceon.
In Leafeon's case, it must have Lure Mossy, while Glaceon requires Lure Glacial. Remember that for evolution to happen, you need to have Eevee Candy left!
