How to evolve Eevee is a bit simpler in Pokémon Go than in the classic games but because Eevee has so many forms you might be interested in a specific Eevee evolution or Eveelution. Discover how to obtain various Eevee evolutions or Eeveelutions in Pokémon Go with this comprehensive guide. Simplify your journey to evolve Eevee into your desired form and master the art of Pokémon evolution in the popular mobile game.
Since Pokémon Go has Candy, evolving Eevee into its various elemental forms is much easier and there is even a nickname trick that you can use to get all the Eevee evolutions but it only works once per evolution type. If you want to evolve Eevee into that specific Eeveelution again then you need to follow the proper method that is mentioned below.
How To Get All Eevee Evolutions In Pokemon Go
The following is how the nickname trick for Eevee evolutions works and how you can get all the Eeveelutions using regular methods.
Pokémon Go Eeveelutions Nickname Trick
Using the nickname trick, you can simply change Eevee’s name to a nickname that corresponds to the Eeveelution. For example, if you want Eevee to evolve into Espeon then you can set the nickname to Sakura and then evolve Eevee.
The following are all the nicknames that you can use for the Pokémon Go Eeveelutions nickname trick.
- Nickname Eevee Kira to evolve into fairy-type Sylveon
- Nickname Eevee Linnea to evolve into leaf-type Leafeon
- Nickname Eevee Rea to evolve into ice-type Glaceon
- Nickname Eevee Sakura to evolve into psychic-type Espeon
- Nickname Eevee Tamao to evolve into dark-type Umbreon
- Nickname Eevee Rainer to evolve into water-type Vaporeon
- Nickname Eevee Sparky to evolve into lightning-type Jolteon
- Nickname Eevee Pyro to evolve into fire-type Flareon
The trick only works once per evolution type. Once you have used it, you will need to use the legit method to get the same Eevee evolution again.
How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon
Once you have used the nickname trick, you can evolve Eevee into Sylveon by getting 70 Buddy Hearts with Eevee. This means that your Eevee needs to be a Great Buddy. Swapping buddies will not reset the progression toward the Sylveon Eeveelution. You will also need 25 Eevee Candy for the evolution.
Sylveon is an Eeveelution that is separate from Espeon and Umbreon. So you do not need to worry about your Eevee evolving into an Espeon or Umbreon.

Which Eevee Evolution is the Best in Pokémon Go
The answer to this question is subjective. My personal favorite would be Flareon because I like fire-type Pokemon and I think that Flareon looks cool and has some solid attacks.
It is worth mentioning that Espeon with Confusion as its quick move and Psychic as its charged attack is also a very powerful Pokemon. The same can be said about other Eeveelutions and it all comes down to the situation that you are in and the Pokemon that you are fighting.
