How to Get All Shiny Eevee Evolutions: Easy Guide to Sparkly Pokémon!

Part 1. How Many Eevee Evolutions Exist in Pokémon GO?

In Pokémon GO, there are 8 Shiny Eevee evolutions, also known as “Eeveelutions.” These Eeveelutions Shiny include:

• Vaporeon: a Water-type.
• Jolteon: an Electric-type.
• Flareon: a Fire-type.
• Espeon: a Psychic-type.
• Umbreon: a Dark-type.
• Leafeon: a Grass-type.
• Glaceon: an Ice-type.
• Sylveon: a Fairy-type.

Since Eevee is a shiny Pokémon, everybody is wondering, “If I evolve a Shiny Eevee, will it stay Shiny?” To allay your fears, the answer is yes. When you upgrade a Shiny Eevee, it will remain Shiny. However, the new version will possess new shiny colors that do not resemble those of its predecessor.

Part 2. 5 Methods to Get All Eevee Evolutions in Pokémon GO

Catching all Eevee Shiny evolutions gives players fun ways to grow their collection. Here are 5 main ways for evolving Shiny Eevee:

1.Affection-Based Evolution

If you want to get an affection-based Eevee, you’ll have to catch Sylveon, the Fairy-type form. For that, you need to earn 70 Buddy Hearts by making Eevee your buddy. You get hearts by feeding, playing, walking, battling, and taking snapshots with Eevee.

Once you reach the “Great Buddy” level, the option to evolve into Sylveon appears. During special events like the July 2025 Community Day Classic (until July 12), the requirement drops to just 7 hearts, making it easier to evolve. You’ll know it’s ready when Sylveon’s shadow shows up on the evolve button.

2.Chance-Based Evolution

To get chance-based Eevee evolutions like Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon, just use 25 Eevee Candies and evolve Eevee without meeting any other conditions. The game will randomly choose one of the three. However, this can be disappointing if you’re trying for a specific one. Also, during Community Days, they might get special moves like Scald or Zap Cannon.

3.Special Lure Evolution

To make Eevee develop into Leafeon or Glaceon, you will have to use special Lure Modules. Employ a Mossy Lure at a Pokestop to obtain Leafeon, or a Glacial Lure to catch Glaceon.

Evolve the Eevee through 25 candies by staying next to the PokeStop. Once it is ready, the evolve button will indicate the correct form. Costumed Eevees, like ones with flower crowns, can also evolve this way and keep their costumes.

4.Nickname Technique

You can guarantee catching each Eevee evolution once by using special nicknames. Just rename Eevee to:

• Rainer (Vaporeon).
• Sparky (Jolteon).
• Pyro (Flareon).
• Sakura (Espeon).
• Tamao (Umbreon).
• Linnea Shiny (Leafeon).
• Rea (Glaceon).
• Kira (Sylveon).

Afterward, restart the app to make sure the name works, then evolve with 25 candies. This trick only works once per evolution type, so it’s best to save it for strong or shiny Eevees. The names come from characters in the Pokémon anime.

5.Buddy Friendship Evolution

Set Eevee as your buddy and walk 10 km (earning 2 candies) to catch Espeon or Umbreon, that’s buddy friendship evolution. Then, while Eevee is still your buddy, evolve it during the day for Espeon or at night for Umbreon.

GPS must be on to detect the time, and you'll see their silhouette on the evolve button when ready. During the July 2025 Community Day Classic (until July 12), you only need to walk 1 km. This method can be used as many times as you want.

While there are no set coordinates to find the coolest shiny Eevee evolution, you can search for them in specific places, weather, and events such as:

• During Events: More Eevees (and shiny chances) during Community Days, Spotlight Hours, or seasonal events. For example, you’ll also have until July 12 at 10:00 p.m. local time to evolve Eevee into any of its forms to get exclusive moves during the Community Days.
• Partly Cloudy Weather: You’ll get higher spawn rates and stronger Eevees (better CP/IVs).
