How to Get Eevee and All Eight Evolutions in Pokémon GO

Each Eevee evolution costs 25 Candy. See the repeatable requirements for Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon—and how to avoid an unwanted random evolution.

To get a specific Eevee evolution in Pokémon GO, catch Eevee, collect 25 Eevee Candy, meet that evolution’s requirement, and check the Pokémon’s Evolve icon before confirming. Without a special condition, an evolution gives you a random Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon. Nicknames can be a one-time shortcut, but the repeatable methods below are more reliable.

What you need before evolving Eevee

  • 25 Eevee Candy for each evolution.
  • The desired evolution’s condition, if it has one.
  • A check of the Evolve icon on Eevee’s summary page before spending Candy. If the icon does not show the form you want, do not confirm the evolution yet.

Niantic’s evolution help page explains that some Pokémon need extra tasks or an active Lure Module, and that the Pokémon’s details page shows relevant requirements. Pokémon GO Hub’s Eevee evolution guide lists the Eevee-specific methods and thresholds below.

How to get each Eevee evolution

Evolution Repeatable method What to check
Vaporeon Spend 25 Eevee Candy without meeting another special condition; the result is random among Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. You cannot select Vaporeon with an ordinary evolution.
Jolteon Spend 25 Eevee Candy without meeting another special condition; the result is random among Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. You cannot select Jolteon with an ordinary evolution.
Flareon Spend 25 Eevee Candy without meeting another special condition; the result is random among Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. You cannot select Flareon with an ordinary evolution.
Espeon Walk Eevee as your Buddy for 10 km, then evolve it during the day while it is still your Buddy. Confirm that the Evolve icon shows Espeon before tapping it.
Umbreon Walk Eevee as your Buddy for 10 km, then evolve it at night while it is still your Buddy. Confirm that the Evolve icon shows Umbreon before tapping it.
Leafeon Evolve Eevee near a PokéStop with an active Mossy Lure Module. The Lure can be activated by another player; check the evolution icon while in range.
Glaceon Evolve Eevee near a PokéStop with an active Glacial Lure Module. The Lure can be activated by another player; check the evolution icon while in range.
Sylveon Earn 70 Buddy Hearts with that Eevee as your Buddy, then evolve it. Check for the Sylveon silhouette before confirming.

The 10 km walking requirement and 70-heart threshold are reported by Pokémon GO Hub’s Eevee guide; Niantic’s official instructions support checking the Pokémon’s details page for evolution tasks. If the intended form does not appear on the Evolve control, the game has not recognized the required condition yet.

Use the nickname shortcut carefully

Pokémon GO Hub reports that a special nickname can guarantee each Eevee form once per account. Because this is a one-time shortcut per evolution and is described by an independent guide rather than Niantic’s help documentation, save it for a form you especially want. Verify the target shown by the Evolve icon before spending Candy; do not assume the shortcut worked if the icon still indicates a random result.

How to avoid an unwanted evolution

  1. Open Eevee’s Pokémon summary page and review the Evolve control.
  2. For Espeon or Umbreon, keep Eevee as your Buddy and check the required walking progress and time of day.
  3. For Leafeon or Glaceon, stand within range of a PokéStop with the matching active Lure Module.
  4. For Sylveon, check that the Buddy Heart requirement is met.
  5. Tap Evolve only when the displayed silhouette is the form you want. If the button does not show that form, wait and meet or recheck the condition.

With no special condition, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon are random outcomes. If you want one of those three specifically, an ordinary evolution cannot guarantee which one you receive.

Where to find Eevee

Eevee encounter availability can change with events and the current game rotation. The official support information at Niantic’s evolution help page explains how to evolve Pokémon but does not establish a permanent Eevee spawn, Egg, Raid, or event route. Check the in-game map, the eligibility shown for Eggs, and current Pokémon GO event announcements rather than relying on an old spawn schedule.
