Pikachu is perhaps the most renowned Pokémon, even though Eevee has undergone the most “Eeveelutions,” or popular and highly sought-after Pokémon, in the series. 

Eevee’s method of evolution makes it one of the most distinct Pokémon out of all of them. While there are many fascinating ways for individual Pokémon to evolve, Eevee is among the few species that can change in several ways, each producing a different ally based on what you do. Each of the eight Pokémon that Eevee can develop into can be obtained in another way, depending on the game.

This article will guide and show you how to acquire each Eevee evolution and provide advice on capturing and breeding Eevee for competitive combat.

Sword and Shield Evolutions of Eevee

The first and most important thing to know is what kind of evolutions are available for Eevee in Pokemon Sword and Shield. All these evolutions are mentioned below:

1. Sylveon (Fairy evolution)
2. Espeon (Psychic evolution)
3. Glaceon (Ice evolution)
4. Umbreon (Dark evolution)
5. Jolteon (Electric evolution)
6. Vaporeon (Water evolution)
7. Leafeon (Grass evolution)
8. Falreon (Fire evolution)

How to Capture Eevee?

In Pokemon Sword and Shield, Route 4 offers the chance to catch an Eevee. Though it’s uncommon, you’ll occasionally run into it in the real world! The Gigantamax gift Eevee you receive for possessing Let’s Go Eevee saved data won’t evolve, so be aware of that!

Catching a Hidden Ability Eevee requires participating in a rare Max Raid Battle. In the Bridge Field of the Wild Area, look for a den with a purple glow and clouds.

Where to Capture Eevee?

Go to Route 4 anytime if you want to see a wild Eevee. In the tall yellow grass around the region, Level 14-16 Eevee can be found with a rate of 1% (Sword) and 5% (Shield). Because of their slow spawn rate, it can take a few tries before you come across an Eevee in combat.

How to Evolve Eevee?

It is relatively simple to evolve Eevee to one of its various evolutions. However, each requires a separate set of steps from you, most of which rely upon using an evolution stone.

Here is a list of Eevees that evolve with the help of stones:

1. Leafeon – Leaf stone
2. Flareon – Firestone
3. Vaporeon – Water stone
4. Jolteon – Thunderstone
5. Glaceon – Ice stone

Now that we know the generic method of evolution of Eeves let’s discuss them in detail.

Evolution to Sylveon

Sylveon, as mentioned above, is a Fairy-like evolution of Eevee that was introduced in Pokemon X and Y. When Eevee reaches level cap with maximum Friendship (three hearts) and learns a fairy-type move, it develops into Sylveon. Teach Eevee a fairy-style move, then play with it and give it food to increase its friendship level. It will evolve after friendship reaches a certain level. Sylveon is a Fairy-type Pokémon with good base attack and defense stats, which can use either Pixilate (Hidden) or Cute Charm as a move.

Evolution to Espeon

Espeon, an Eevee evolution of the Psychic type, first appeared in Pokemon Gold and Silver. When Eevee reaches maximum Friendship (three hearts) during the day, it transforms into Espeon. Play with and feed Eevee to increase your bond with it. Eevee will evolve the following time it gains a level throughout the day.

Espeon is a Pokémon of the Psychic type with strong Sp. Atk. and Speed. Its abilities are Synchronize or Magic Bounce (Hidden).

Evolution to Glaceon

In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the Ice-type Eevee evolution Glaceon was first presented. Glaceon’s evolution process was altered in Pokemon Sword and Shield, similar to Leafeon’s. Starting at level 15, Eevee changes into a Glacon when it comes into contact with an Ice Stone. A Pokémon of the Ice type with great defense and special attack, Glacon can have either the abilities Snow Cloak or Ice Body (Hidden). You are no longer required to take it to a site with an Ice Rock, and giving it an Ice stone will result in its evolution. Yes, you can also get an Ice Stone as a prize from the Digging Duo or from the group of rocks on the hill in the Lake of Outrage area of the Wild Area.

Evolution to Umbreon

The Dark-type Evee evolution was first presented in Pokemon Gold and Silver. When Eevee reaches maximum Friendship during the evening, it transforms into Umbreon. Play with and feed Eevee to increase your bond with it. Eevee will develop the next time it levels up at night. Umbreon has a strong and unique defense and the choice of using the ability to Synchronise or Inner Focus (Hidden).

Evolution to Jolteon

Jolteon is an Electric-type Eevee. Starting at level 15, Eevee transforms into Jolteon when exposed to a Thunder Stone. A Pokémon of the Electric type with great Sp. Atk. and Speed, Jolteon can use Quick Feet (Hidden) and Volt Absorb as an ability.

In the Lake of Outrage area of the Wild Area, near the circle of rocks on the hill, you can find Thunder Stones. As mentioned above, you can also receive them as rewards from the Digging Duo there.

Evolution to Vaporeon

Among the original Eeveelutions is Vaporeon, a Water-type Eevee. Simply give an Eevee a Water Stone to cause it to evolve into a Vaporeon.In the Lake of Outrage area of the Wild  Area, near the circle of rocks on the hill, you can find Water Stones, and you can also get them as a reward from the Digging Duo there. Starting at level 15, Eevee evolves into a Vaporeon when it comes into contact with a water stone. The abilities of Vaporeon, a Water-type Pokémon with high HP and Special Attack, are either Water Absorb or Hydration (Hidden).

Evolution to Leafeon

In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the Grass-type Eevee evolution Leafeon was first presented. In Pokemon Sword & Shield, you no longer need to take Eevee to a specific spot with a Moss Rock for it to transform into Leafeon. Just feed it a Leaf Stone, and it will progress! How to obtain a leaf stone has already been mentioned in detail via the circle of rocks in the Wild Area’s Lake of Outrage section or as a prize from the Digging Duo.

Evolution of Flareon

One of the initial three Eeveelutions is Flareon, a Fire-type Eevee evolution. Simply give Eevee a Fire Stone to cause it to develop into Flareon. In the Lake of Outrage area of the Wild Area, you can find Fire Stones by the circle of rocks on the hill. You can also get them as a reward from the Digging Duo there.
