Do you now only need to walk 2.5 kilometers in Pokémon GO to evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon?
If you want to evolve Eevee into Umbreon or Espeon, you can do this once with a nickname. If you have evolved Eevee using a nickname into one of these two Pokémon, you need to resort to another trick to specifically evolve the monster.
For this, you need to walk 10 kilometers and earn two candies. However, due to the current rock event, your buddy can now find candies four times faster. Does this mean you have to cover less distance to specifically evolve Eevee?
Eevee evolution – Method tested during the event
Since last night, Adventure Week is active in Pokémon GO. This rock event gives you the bonus that your buddy Pokémon find candies four times faster.
When this bonus was announced, some trainers from the community wondered if they could now quickly get many Umbreon and Espeon without having to walk so far.
The actual tactic is:
- Choose an Eevee as your buddy Pokémon
- Walk with it ten kilometers and earn two candies
- Evolve it during the day into Espeon
- Evolve it at night into Umbreon
- The complete guide to evolve Eevee is here
Because Pokémon now find candies four times faster, it was tested whether it works after 2.5 kilometers with the targeted evolution.
The results of various trainers on Reddit, TheSilphRoad, and PokémonGOHub show that the evolutions do not require less distance. Furthermore, you still need to walk ten kilometers with Eevee as your buddy Pokémon and earn two candies for the targeted evolution to work.
During the event, you will find many rock Pokémon in the wild. We have an overview for you here of which monsters are possible.
