An Eeveelution (Japanese: ブイズ, Hepburn: Buizu) is a popular term among fans that is used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. Eeveelution is a portmanteau from the words "Eevee" and "evolution". The term Eeveelution was made up by fans in order to specify the eight Pokémon that Eevee can evolve into. The Eeveelutions are very liked among collectors when it goes about a full set of all eight evolutions, nine including Eevee.
Generations[]
Many Eeveelutions have made their first appearances in almost every Pokémon handheld game since Generation I. The first three to be introduced in the first generation are Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, which evolve from Eevee through the use of a Water Stone, Thunder stone, and Fire Stone, respectively. Two more Eeveelutions were later introduced: Espeon and Umbreon. These two can only evolve from an Eevee with a high level of happiness, and at different times of the day (Espeon during the day/morning, Umbreon during the night/dusk), starting in Generation II, and onward. In Generation III, no new Eeveelutions were introduced, but in Generation IV, two new Eeveelutions were created, which are: Leafeon, who evolves from Eevee when leveled up near the green moss stone in Eterna Forest, and Glaceon, who evolves from Eevee when leveled up near an ice rock on Route 216/217. In February 2013, Nintendo revealed a new Eeveelution for Generation VI, named Sylveon.
Generation I[]
There were three Eeveelutions introduced in the first generation of the Pokémon series, all three of which are obtainable through use of a Water Stone, Fire Stone, and Thunder Stone.
Eevee[]
Eevee is the base Pokémon of the Eeveelution chain and is considered to be one of the most popular and fan-favorited of all the Pokémon. Eevee was introduced in Generation I and can be obtained in Pokémon Green, Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen at the top floor of the Celadon Condominiums in Celadon City, but the player can only obtain one per game. Eevee can also be obtained in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver from the NPC named Bill after speaking to him in his house in Goldenrod City, if you have already met him in the Pokémon Center in Ecruteak City. There is a second way to obtain Eevee in Pokémon Gold and Silver, which requires the player to obtain a total of 6666 coins at the Game Corner. Eevee is also obtainable as a First partner Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the player will obtain an Eevee from the NPC Bebe in Hearthome City, but there is a difference between versions. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the player will obtain an Eevee from Bebe after obtaining the National Pokédex, but in Pokémon Platinum, obtaining Eevee from Bebe does not need a prerequisite. Eevees can also be found in the wild at the Trophy Garden of Backlot Mansion below Hearthome City. Eevee can also be obtained as a gift in Pokémon Black and White 2 from Amanita in Castelia City, but is extremely hard to find in Castelia City.
Eevee is First partner Pokémon of the rival Blue in Pokémon Yellow. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, an Eevee is the First partner Pokémon of the Player which is known as a Partner Pokémon and cannot evolve, while in Let's Go, Pikachu!, it is the First partner Pokémon of Trace, which his Eevee later evolves into Jolteon. Partner Eevee can learn Secret Techniques and special moves that are very similar to the types of its fellow Eeveelutions.
In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, a Gigantamax Eevee can be obtained in the Meetup Spot if the player has save data of Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!. Just like Partner Eevee, Gigantamax Eevee does not evolve and it can use the special G-Max Move G-Max Cuddle.
Eevee's Gender Difference[]
As of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, male partner Eevee have a zigzag pattern at the end of their tail, which was once for universal genders. With female partner Eevee, they now have a heart-shaped pattern at the end of their tail. In non-partner Eevee, these gender differences do not exist. This was likely meant to counterpart how female Pikachu have heart tails.
Beginning in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, these gender differences apply to all Eevee.
Vaporeon[]
Vaporeon is the Water-Type Pokémon and one of Eevee's final evolution forms and can only be obtained through use of a Water Stone. It is known as the Bubble Jet Pokémon. When the player evolves their Eevee into a Vaporeon, the player can teach Vaporeon the HM Surf. Vaporeon is strong against Flareon since Water-type Pokémon attacks are super effective against Fire-type Pokémon. However, Vaporeon is weak against Jolteon and Leafeon since Water-type Pokémon is weak to Grass and Electric-types.
It is known that Vaporeon's highest stat is its HP.
Jolteon[]
Jolteon is the Electric-type Lightning Pokémon and one of Eevee's final evolution forms and can only be obtained through use of a Thunder Stone. Jolteon is strong against Vaporeon, due to the fact that Electric-type Pokémon abilities are super effective against Water-type Pokémon.
It is known that Jolteon's highest stat is Speed.
Flareon[]
Flareon is the Fire-type Flame Pokémon and one of Eevee's final evolution forms and can only be obtained through use of a Fire Stone. Flareon is weak against Vaporeon, since Fire-Type Pokémon are weak to Water-Type abilities; however, because Fire-types are strong against Grass and Ice-types, Flareon is super effective against Leafeon and Glaceon.
It is known that Flareon's highest stat is Attack.
Generation II[]
Espeon[]
Espeon is the Psychic-Morning Sun evolution of Eevee, it is of the Psychic-type, along with Umbreon takes advantage of the Day/Night and friendship features, Eevee will only evolve into Espeon with high friendship in the daytime. Espeon is weak against Umbreon since Dark-type abilities are super effective against Psychic Pokémon.
It is known that Espeon's highest stat is Special Attack.
Umbreon[]
Umbreon is the Dark-type Eeveelution. It is known as the Moonlight Pokémon. Umbreon takes advantage of the friendship and day/night features, as Eevee will only evolve into Umbreon by leveling up with high friendship at night or by using a Moon Stone. Umbreon is strong against Espeon because Dark-type attacks are super effective against Psychic Pokémon; however, it is weak against Sylveon due to Dark-types weakness to Fairy-types. Umbreon is so in touch with the moon that Umbreon's rings glow at nighttime.
Umbreon's highest stat is Special Defense.
Generation IV[]
Leafeon[]
Leafeon is the Grass-type Verdant Eeveelution. An Eevee will only evolve into Leafeon if the player character touches a mossy rock, then levels up the Eevee in one of the sections of grass directly next to it up to Generation VIII. In Generation VIII Eevee evolves into Leafeon with a Leaf Stone. Leafeon is strong against Vaporeon, due to Grass-types being strong against Water-types, but it's weak against both Flareon and Glaceon due to Grass being weak against both Fire and Ice-type Pokémon.
Its highest stat is Defense.
Glaceon[]
Glaceon is the Ice-type Fresh Snow Eeveelution. This Pokémon is an Ice-type and an Eevee will evolve into Glaceon if the player character touches an icy rock, then levels the Eevee up next to the icy rock up to Generation VIII. In Generation VIII Eevee evolves into Glaceon with an Ice Stone. Glaceon is strong against Leafeon due to Grass-types beings weak to Ice-types but is weak against Flareon due to Ice-types weakness to Fire-types.
Its highest stat is Special Attack, similar to Espeon.
Generation VI[]
Sylveon[]
Sylveon is a Fairy-type Intertwining Eeveelution new to Generation VI. The way to obtain this new addition to the Eevee family is to use the bonding application in Pokémon X & Y called Pokémon-Amie and Pokémon Sun and Moon called Pokémon Refresh. After getting at least two levels of affection, you level your Eevee up while knowing a Fairy-type move, and it will evolve shortly after. Sylveon is strong against Umbreon due to Dark-types Pokémon being weak to Fairy-types.
Sylveon's highest stats is Special Defense, similar to Umbreon.
