Eevee

Eevee (Japanese: イーブイ Iibui) is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It's well-known for being the Pokémon with the highest number of evolution possibilities (8), due to its unstable genetic makeup.

Physiology
Eevee is a small, fennec fox-like creature with bushy, brown fur. Its muzzle is very cat-like, with a small, black, triangular nose. It has a fluffy cream-colored ruff around its neck and a short, bushy, fox-like tail with a creamy tip. Eevee has round, deep-brown eyes, long rabbit-like ears, and pink paw pads on its little feet. Its paws are small with three toes and no visible claws.

Eevee, as well as its evolutions, possesses traits from different animals. Eevee shares most traits with the fennec fox. However, it's also based on dogs, cats and rabbits. Eevee is said to have an irregularly-shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon.

Gender Differences
As of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, male Eevee have a zigzag pattern at the end of their tail, which was once for universal genders. With female Eevee, they now have a heart-shaped pattern at the end of their tail.

Habitat
Eevee is a Pokémon found mainly in cities. But it is possible that they live anywhere because they evolve to suit their surroundings. Eevee can mostly be found in Kanto but is also found in Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, Central Kalos and Alola.

Natural abilities
Eevee can have either the ability Run Away or Adaptability. Run Away is an ability that will allow the user to run from any wild Pokémon battle, negating the effects of moves that prevent running away like Mean Look and Block. Adaptability increases the users STAB from x1.5 to x2.0. Eevee's Hidden Ability is Anticipation, which lets Eevee sense an opponent's dangerous moves.

Eevee are Pokémon with unstable genetic codes. This gives them the ability to evolve into eight different evolutions triggered by the environment, time of day, friendship levels, or the usage of the evolutionary stones Water Stone, Thunderstone, and Fire Stone.

Evolution
Eevee can evolve into one of eight different forms with different types. These forms include:
 * Jolteon by use of a Thunderstone;
 * Flareon by use of a Fire Stone;
 * Vaporeon by use of a Water Stone;
 * Espeon when leveled up with high friendship during the day;
 * Umbreon when leveled up with high friendship during the night;
 * Leafeon when leveled up in Eterna Forest, Pinwheel Forest, Route 20 in Kalos, Petalburg Woods, Lush Jungle or wherever there is a Mossy Rock;
 * Glaceon when leveled up on Route 217, Twist Mountain, Frost Cavern, Shoal Cave, Mount Lanakila or wherever there is a Icy Rock;
 * Sylveon by knowing a -type move, while leveling up and playing with Eevee through Pokémon-Amie (Gen VI) or Pokémon Refresh (Gen VII) and earning at least two affection hearts.

Eevee resembles a domestic puppy, while possessing some rabbit-like traits; namely its long ears and mane. It also shares traits with felines as well, as it has a short muzzle, possessed by all evolutions of Eevee.
