Guide to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon GO

Currently, there are 8 possible evolutions for Eevee in Pokémon GO. Eevee’s evolutions have a wide range of 8 element types to choose from: Fairy, Ice, Grass, Dark, Psychic, Fire, Electric, Water.
Introduction to Eevee’s 8 Evolutions
Flareon![]() Fire | Jolteon![]() Electric | Vaporeon![]() Water | Leafeon![]() Grass |
Glaceon![]() Ice | Umbreon![]() Dark | Sylveon![]() Fairy | Espeon![]() Psychic |
Evolving Eevee Randomly into Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon
If you are only looking to evolve Eevee randomly into any one of Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon, you can simply click “Evolve“. I have found these 3 Eevee evolutions to be very useful in early-game.

Evolving Eevee using the Nickname Trick
If you would like to evolve Eevee into a specific evolution type, you can use the “Nickname Trick“. This is done by renaming your Eevee into a specific nickname to evolve the Eevee into a specific Eevee evolution. Note that this Nickname Trick can only be used once for each Eevee evolution.
You can check that the silhouette of your intended Eevee evolution appears correctly on the Evolve button before you proceed to press “Evolve”.
Eevee Evolution | Nickname | Eevee Evolution | Nickname |
---|---|---|---|
Espeon![]() | Sakura | Leafeon![]() | Linnea |
Flareon![]() | Pyro | Sylveon![]() | Kira |
Glaceon![]() | Rea | Umbreon![]() | Tamao |
Jolteon![]() | Sparky | Vaporeon![]() | Rainer |
Evolving Eevee by completing Evolution Task
Once you have used the Nickname Trick once for a particular Eevee evolution, if you intend to evolve your Eevee into the same Eevee evolution again, you will need to perform the steps below to achieve the Eevee evolution:
Espeon
Select the Eevee you want to evolve into Espeon as your Buddy, Walk 10KM with your Buddy, and evolve it during your Day.
Leafeon
Evolve your Eevee while near a Mossy Lure Module at a PokéStop.
Glaceon
Evolve your Eevee while near a Glacial Lure Module at a PokéStop.
Sylveon
Select the Eevee that you want to evolve into Espeon as your Buddy, Earn 70 Buddy Hearts (attain Great Buddy status), and evolve it. You should see an evolve option with Sylveon’s silhouette.
Umbreon
Select the Eevee you want to evolve into Umbreon as your Buddy, Walk 10KM with your Buddy, and evolve it during your Night. You should see an evolve option with Umbreon’s silhouette.
