Eevee

 

Eevee
Eevee (Japanese: イーブイ Eievui) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves into one of eight different Pokémon through various methods.

Since Generation I:

Eevee evolves into Vaporeon when exposed to a Water Stone.

Eevee evolves into Jolteon when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Eevee evolves into Flareon when exposed to a Fire Stone.

Since Generation II:

Eevee evolves into Espeon when leveled up with high friendship during the day.

Eevee evolves into Umbreon when leveled up with high friendship during the night.

Since Generation IV:

Eevee evolves into Leafeon when leveled up near a Moss Rock or when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

Eevee evolves into Glaceon when leveled up near an Ice Rock or when exposed to an Ice Stone.

Since Generation VI:

Eevee evolves into Sylveon when leveled up while knowing a Fairy-type move and having high friendship.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Additionally, Eevee has two forms: the partner Eevee and Gigantamax Eevee. It can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Eevee if it has the Gigantamax Factor. The partner Eevee and Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Eevee is the game mascot of and the player's first Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!. It also serves as the player's first Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Conquest. It also is the first Pokémon employee in Pokémon Café Mix. In Pokémon Yellow, Professor Oak had originally intended to give Eevee to the player as their first Pokémon, but it is taken by Blue instead.

Biology

Eevee is a small, mammalian, quadrupedal Pokémon with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.

Eevee is rarely found in the wild and is mostly only found in cities and towns. It is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that is easily influenced by its environment. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by evolving. Eevee can potentially evolve into eight different evolutions. Eevee can also start to adopt the face of the Trainer that owns it. Eevee's genes are believed to have the key to solving the mysteries of Pokémon evolution. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Eevee is believed to dreaming about which form it will evolve into.

Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Extreme Evoboost.

Forms

Eevee has two forms: the partner Eevee and Gigantamax Eevee.

The partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from Pokémon the Series, which implemented similar traits starting in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. The partner Eevee has higher base stats and access to moves that normal Eevee do not. The white tip on a female partner Eevee's tail has larger, rounder scallops than other Eevee. Before Pokémon Sword and Shield, this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. Since Sword and Shield, however, the unique tail pattern is present on all female Eevee as a true gender difference. As a result, Pokémon GO was updated to apply this change to all female Eevee as well.

The partner Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the moves Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, Sizzly Slide, Glitzy Glow, Baddy Bad, Sappy Seed, Freezy Frost, and Sparkly Swirl, as well as the partner power Veevee Volley.

As Gigantamax Eevee, it has become larger and more fluffy. The fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds circling it. Due to the fur becoming fluffier and more luxurious, any enemies caught in it will become enamored and lose the will to fight. Eevee becomes even more playful and rambunctious after Gigantamaxing, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.

Gigantamax Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Cuddle.

Evolution

Eevee can evolve into eight different Pokémon (collectively called Eeveelutions).

 (For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Form data

Eevee has two forms: the partner Eevee and Gigantamax Eevee. Only Gigantamax Eevee is recognized by an in-game Pokédex (in Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon HOME). Partner Eevee has only been named in promotional materials.

Partner Eevee

The partner Eevee is the Pokémon the player starts with in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!. Female partner Eevee also have a distinct pattern on their tail (although this was applied to all female Eevee in subsequent generations); male Partner Eevee and standard Eevee of either gender have the same pattern. It has has higher base stats than normal Eevee. Unlike other Eevee, the partner Eevee can learn the exclusive moves Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, Sizzly Slide, Glitzy Glow, Baddy Bad, Sappy Seed, Freezy Frost, and Sparkly Swirl, as well as having access to the partner power Veevee Volley.

The partner Eevee is not differentiated from standard Eevee in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s Pokédex, and it cannot be transferred out of the games.

Gigantamax

Gigantamax Eevee can only be obtained through special methods, and the Gigantamax Factor cannot be bred.

Evolution data

Eevee can evolve into eight different Pokémon (collectively called Eeveelutions).

Eevee can always evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon when exposed to a Water Stone, Thunder Stone, or Fire Stone, respectively.

Since Generation II, Eevee can evolve into Espeon or Umbreon when leveled up with high friendship (220 before Generation VIII or 160 since) during the day/night, respectively. In a few games without a clock, it cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon; in Pokémon XD only, Eevee will evolve if the player has the Sun Shard/Moon Shard in their Bag.

Since Generation IV, Eevee can evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon when it levels up near a Moss Rock or Ice Rock, respectively. Not all games have Moss and Ice Rocks, so since Generation VIII, Eevee can also evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon when exposed to a Leaf Stone or Ice Stone.

Since Generation VI, Eevee can evolve into Sylveon if it knows a Fairy-type move and has high affection (at least two levels) when it levels up. Since affection was folded into friendship in Generation VIII, it can evolve if its friendship is at least 160 instead.

If multiple evolutionary conditions are met simultaneously, Leafeon and Glaceon are prioritized over Sylveon, and Sylveon is prioritized over Espeon and Umbreon.

The partner Eevee and Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. Since Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! only include the first 151 Pokémon, wild Eevee can only evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in those games. Similarly, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl does not contain Sylveon.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Eevee only appears as a random trophy.

Trophy information

As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment. So far, five evolutionary forms have been discovered and then catalogued for this unique Pokémon; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. All evolutions have special benefits.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Eevee appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Take Down to hit opponents. It also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

Trophy information

NA: This Normal-type Pokémon is as adaptable to evolution as they come, with eight evolutions discovered thus far. If you pair that potential with its adorable features, it's no wonder Eevee is so popular! In Smash Bros., Eevee will attack a nearby opponent with Take Down. Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful.

PAL: This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with trainers. When brought out in battle, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...it's not very effective. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Eevee returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon retaining the same behavior from the previous game. It also appears as two Spirits, Eevee and Partner Eevee.

Eevee appeared in the music video for Celestial.

Trivia

Eevee's English name is a palindrome.

Eevee's English name also contains only two unique characters, less than any other Pokémon's English name.

Eevee was designed by Motofumi Fujiwara.

Eevee has the most branched evolutions, with a total of eight.

Eevee has the most evolved forms of any Pokémon and is the only Pokémon that has more than three evolved forms.

Eevee is the only Pokémon that evolves with a Leaf Stone that is not a Grass-type, as well as the only one to evolve by Water Stone that is not a Water-type.

The fan-made term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, Eeveelutions, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for Pokémon Stadium 2, followed by a TCG Theme Deck.

In early English promotional material for Pokémon Red and Blue, Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all of the evolved forms of Eevee.

In Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon to have a branched evolution.

Eevee is the only Pokémon capable of evolving further that cannot evolve into a Pokémon that it shares at least one type with (though Azurill shared this trait prior to it and Marill gaining the Fairy-type in Generation VI).

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are the only core series titles to have the methods of evolution required for some included Pokémon be completely unavailable, and Eevee is the only Pokémon impacted in both cases.

Despite Eevee being obtainable before the Pokémon League and Leafeon and Glaceon being included in the Unova regional Pokédex in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, it cannot evolve into them until after entering the Hall of Fame. This is because Twist Mountain and Pinwheel Forest are inaccessible before then.

Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to receive an evolution in Generation VI, though many received Mega Evolutions.

Four of Eevee's evolved forms evolve through abnormal means in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series (Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon).

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the Sun Ribbon or Lunar Ribbon with at least 1 star of IQ, a Mossy Rock, or a Frozen Rock into its respective evolved forms.

In Pokémon Ranger, all of Eevee's evolved forms up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee is completely unobtainable. This was changed in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

Despite the fact that May, Gary, and Sakura each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving onscreen in Pokémon the Series until Last Call — First Round!, when Ursula evolved her two Eevee into Flareon and Vaporeon during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the anime.

As a species, Eevee has appeared in the teams of the most main characters in Pokémon the Series, with May, Serena, and Lana each owning one.

This also makes Eevee the only Pokémon species in the TV series to have been owned by more than two different main characters.

Eevee has more signature moves than any other Pokémon, with a total of eleven.

Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to receive a gender difference after Generation IV.

All of Eevee's evolutions up to Sylveon were of types that had been considered special before Generation IV. The only special move type not included is the Dragon type.

Eevee Day is celebrated since 2018 on November 21 (11/21), which is goroawase for "i-i-bu-i", Eevee's Japanese name. It is certified by the Japan Anniversary Association.

Origin

In the 2018 artbook EVs, Motofumi Fujiwara revealed that the idea for Eevee came from Satoshi Tajiri's request to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.

Name origin

Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.
