Pokémon Go Eevee Evolution: How To Evolve Eevee Into Sylveon ...

Evolving Eevee into Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon and Espeon

Gen 4's Leafeon and Glaceon have a second Eevee evolution method, by using the Mossy Lure or Glacial Lure respectively. When you're in range of that PokéStop with the Lure enabled, go to your Eevee and choose the Evolution.

Meanwhile, Gen 2's Umbreon and Espeon also have a second Eevee evolution method. Walk your Eevee as a Buddy for 10km, then evolve it either during the night (Umbreon) or day (Espeon) and it'll turn into the desired evolution.

Note you specifically need to walk 10k and earn two Candies in the process, then keep Eevee as your Buddy when evolving, and be either day or night during the game itself for it to work (thanks to Daviebruce72 on reddit for clarifying).

Since the naming trick only works once per evolution type, this appears to be a useful way to get a second Espeon or Umbreon with some reliability.

What is the best Eevee evolution in Pokémon Go?

If you have a high stat Eevee, you'll want to make the most out of it and choose the best possible eeveelution available. This depends on your needs, of course - but it's clear some are more useful than others.

Our picks for the best Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go are Sylveon, Espeon, Umbreon and Glaceon.

Sylveon and Espeon are among the best of their respective types - Fairy and Psychic - and though they aren't the most powerful (especially when considering Legendaries) Eevee has one advantage - being easy to find, meaning you'll plenty of opportunities to catch and get Eevee Candy. In short, Sylveon and Espeon are superb budget Fairy and Psychic picks to help round off any line-up.

Though not the best of their types, if we're thinking budget picks are what Eevee is good for, then Glaceon fits the bill, especially as there are few ice types available year round. Meanwhile, Umbreon is a useful Battle League choice at lower leagues such as Great League; its attacks will be super effective against both Ghost and Psychic-type Pokémon, and will really hold its own against fairy attacks, a Battle League staple.
