pokemon go how to evolve eevee

This guide teaches how to evolve Eevee in Pokémon GO. You can get every single Eevee evolution in the history of the franchise using a simple trick.

Just like in other Pokémon games, Eevee is capable of evolving into many different forms.

In Pokémon GO specifically, Eevee can evolve into Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon. There is a different technique to achieving any given evolution you want.

General evolutions

No matter which Eevee evolution you are after, it will cost 25 Eevee Candy. By simply feeding it the candy, it will evolve into either Vaporeon, Flareon, or Jolteon at random.

Specific evolutions

If you want a specific Eevee evolution, you’ll need to change its nickname. By matching the nickname with the intended evolution, you will guarantee it happens.

Note that this trick only works once per type. You will see a silhouette of the Eeveelution before spending the candy.
