- Eevee can evolve into eight different types in Pokemon GO.
- They are Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon, Leafeon, and Sylveon.

Eevee is undoubtedly one of the most popular Pokemon in the mainline games, and that popularity carries over to Pokemon GO. Eevee is a normal-type Pokemon, and one of the very few ones that has a multiple evolution chain. This makes it unique and a strong choice for trainers as they can evolve it into any form, and fill the gaps in their teams.
However, you need to know the right steps to evolve Eevee into an evolution of your liking. So, if you’d like to evolve an Eevee into one of its Eeveelutions in Pokemon GO, look no further; we have you covered right here.

How Do You Evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in Pokemon GO
There isn’t any specific method to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in Pokemon GO. Eevee will evolve into one of the three Eeveelutions using 25 candy, and without any Lure or Buddy evolution requirement. This is purely based on luck and very random, so we recommend using the nickname method to use it on the best one, or else you might end up with the wrong Eeveelution.
How Do You Evolve Eevee into Umbreon and Espeon in Pokemon GO
Unlike Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, there is a guaranteed way to evolve Eevee into Umbreon and Espeon in Pokemon GO. To do so, you need to choose Eevee as your buddy and walk 10 km. Once done, you can evolve Eevee during the day using 25 candies to get Espeon. Evolving your Eevee at nighttime using 25 candies will turn it into Umbreon.
How Do You Evolve Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon in Pokemon GO
Glaceon and Leafon are the easiest Eeveelutions to obtain in Pokemon GO. To evolve Eevee into Leafeon, you need a Mossy Lure Module. Similarly, you need a Glacial Lure Module to evolve Eevee into a Glaceon.
You can get the respective Lure Modules by completing certain Special Research Tasks or purchasing them from the in-game shop using 200 PokeCoins. We recommend completing the ‘A Thousand-Year Slumber’ Special Research Task, as it rewards a Glacial and a Mossy Lure Module.
Once you have them, place the respective module at the PokeStop and evolve your Eevee using 25 Eevee Candy. If you use the Glacial Lure Module at a PokeStop, evolving your Eevee near that PokeStop will turn it into Glaceon. Similarly, if you use the Mossy Lure Module at the PokeStop, your Eevee will evolve into a Leafeon.
How Do You Evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokemon GO
Sylveon is the fairy-type evolution of Eevee, which might be very straightforward to obtain, but can take a lot of time. You can evolve Eevee into Sylveon by choosing it as your buddy and increasing its friendship level. The friendship evolution is very similar to evolving Eevee in Pokemon Legends ZA, and other mainline games.
Once you have Eevee as your buddy, play with it, feed berries, take snapshots, and walk together to earn hearts. After earning 70 hearts with Eevee, you can evolve them into Sylveon.
Are There Any Shiny Eevee Evolutions in Pokemon GO?
Yes, Shiny Eevee evolutions are available in Pokemon GO, and to get them, you need to catch a shiny Eevee. If you have only one shiny Eevee, you can choose to evolve it into one of the Eeveelutions you like. However, you need eight shiny Eevee if you want all the shiny Eeveelutions.
Tips to Remember While Evolving Eevee in Pokemon GO
While evolving Eevee might seem simple, there are certain things you should keep in mind when doing so. Here are some tips that will help you maximize resources and obtain all Eeveelutions:
- Evolve Eevee during special events, like the December 2025 Community Day, to get exclusive moves on them.
- Use nicknames to evolve Shiny and good IV Eevee, especially when trying to get a Flareon, Jolteon, or Vaporeon.
- Use Poffins to get twice the amount of hearts per day, and increase friendship quickly with your Eevee. Doing so will give you 26 hearts daily, rather than 13.
- Use Lures to evolve Eevee during special Pokemon GO events that extend the duration of the Lure Module. That way, you catch extra Pokemon and increase Lure duration.
