In Pokémon GO you can evolve Eevee into Umbreon and Espeon. We show you how to get the evolutions.
Pokémon GO has been expanded with over 80 new Pokémon from Generation 2. Among these new monsters are also the evolutions of Pokémon that were already in the game. Eevee caused many trainers trouble with its evolutions since it appeared to evolve randomly into Vaporeon, Flareon, or Jolteon. However, certain nicknames could influence Eevee’s evolution. This also works for Umbreon and Espeon.
Eevee – New evolution to Umbreon and Espeon
In the Pokémon anime series, the Eevee brothers Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro appeared. If you give your Eevee a nickname before its first evolution using one of the brothers’ first names, it will determine whether Eevee becomes Vaporeon, Flareon, or Jolteon.
In the later episodes of the anime series, Ash and his friends encounter an old friend of Misty named Sakura. She owns an Espeon, and her older sister Tamao has an Umbreon. To evolve your Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon, you need to follow these steps:
- Open the menu in the game by clicking on the PokéBall.
- Click on “Pokémon”
- Select the Eevee you want to evolve into Umbreon or Espeon.
- Click on the pencil next to the name to give Eevee a nickname.
- If you want to evolve Eevee into Espeon, name it Sakura.
- If you want to evolve Eevee into Umbreon, name it Tamao.
- If you then click on evolve, Eevee should evolve into the corresponding Pokémon.
- This targeted evolution probably only works with the first Eevee you want to evolve into Umbreon or Espeon.
There is another method to evolve in Pokémon GO Umbreon – completely without nicknames
Many changes in the new Pokémon GO update – New Pokémon, avatar customizations, and new features in patch 0.57.2
