Eevee is really a pretty tricksy Pokémon at the best of times, with a lot of different potential evolutions that it can alter into seemingly at random. Fortunately, though, it’s never as random because it seems in Pokémon Go, as there is truly a method that you can use to game the system and force Eevee to evolve into every one of its different forms.
There are always a few caveats though, which we’ll go into the final details of later in our Pokémon Go Eevee evolution guide. Ultimately, to answer your potential question, yes, there is a trusted method of getting Eevee to evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon and it works every single time.

Eevee evolutions in Pokémon GO
To be able to get all Eevee forms, you will have to target each evolution separately and do some preplanning.
Eevee Evolution Name
If there is a constant evolved a specific Eevee evolution, you can use the infamous “ Eevee name trick” to get the required evolution.
Know that this trick works only one time per evolved form and can’t be properly used repeatedly.
Evolution | Nickname |
---|---|
Vaporeon | Rainer |
Jolteon | Sparky |
Flareon | Pyro |
Espeon | Sakura |
Umbreon | Tamao |
Leafeon | Linnea |
Glaceon | Rea |
Sylveon | Kira |
Note that the name trick may be used only one time per each evolution, so it’s strongly recommended that you thoroughly plan before doing so. This applies to all or any available eevolutions currently in the game – Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon.
How to evolve Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in Pokémon GO
You can get Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon by using the name trick method (Sakura for Espeon, Tamao for Umbreon) or by using the Buddy Pokémon evolution method.

Evolving a random Eevee willl produce either Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon – at random. You can’t get any Eevee evolution from pressing the Evolve button. It costs 25 Candy and it doesn’t matter perhaps the naming trick has already been used or not.
How to evolve Espeon and Umbreon in Pokémon GO
You are able to evolve Espeon and Umbreon by using the Eevee name trick (Sakura for Espeon, Tamao for Umbreon) or by using the Buddy Pokémon evolution method.
Buddy system evolution
To be able to get Espeon or Umbreon do the following steps together with your Eevee Buddy:
- Set the Eevee you need to evolve as your Buddy
- Walk at the least 10 km with Eevee and earn 2 Eevee Candies together with your Buddy
- Evolve the Eevee while it’s your Buddy
- Evolving an Eevee during day time provides you with Espeon
- Evolving an Eevee during evening provides you with Umbreon
Eevee should be set as a buddy before the evolution. After ensuring all criteria are met, evolving throughout the day are certain to get the trainer a Psychic type Espeon, while Dark-type Umbreon could make its appearance during the night time in the Pokémon GO app.
Since the day and night are determined by local time, the GPS signal can also be required otherwise the evolution will undoubtedly be random.
None of the Pokémon that need a particular item or task to evolve spawn in the wild, including both Espeon and Umbreon. The Buddy System method may be used repeatedly which makes it the only reliable way to acquire them.
How to evolve Leafeon and Glaceon in Pokémon GO
You can get Leafeon and Glaceon by using the Eevee names method (Linnea for Leafeon, Rea for Glaceon) or by using evolving the Eevee under a specific Lure:
- Evolve under a Mossy Lure to get Leafeon
- Evolve under a Glacial Lure to get Glaceon
How to evolve Sylveon in Pokémon GO
You can get Sylveon by using 25 Candies and earning 70 Hearts when Eevee is the buddy Pokémon. If you have enough Candy and Hearts acquired, a silhouette of Sylveon will show up.
