Eevee

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It's well known for being the Pokémon with the highest number of evolution possibilities (8), due to its unstable genetic makeup. It is the Version Mascot and First partner Pokémon for the game Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!. It also has a Gigantamax form.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Eevee is a small, fox-like creature with brown fur. Its muzzle is very catlike, with a small, black and triangular nose. It has a fluffy, cream-colored ruff around its neck and a brown, bushy fox-like tail with a cream-colored tip. Eevee has round, brown eyes, long rabbit-like ears, and pink paw pads on its feet. Its paws are small with three toes and no visible claws. A shiny Eevee has silver fur instead of brown, and its ruff and tail-tip are white instead of cream.
Eevee is said to have an irregularly-shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple different forms, which depends if it touches a stone or its relationship to their Trainer.
As Gigantamax Eevee, its body becomes larger. Its ruff grows longer and fluffier with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds surrounding it in a circle. As the fur becomes fluffier and more luxurious, any enemies caught in it will lose the will to fight due to being enamored by its presence. Eevee's behavior also appears to be more playful and rambunctious when Gigantamaxing, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.
Shiny Eevee have a more gray-silver appearance.
===Gender differences===
As of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, a male partner Eevee has a zigzag pattern at the tip of his tail, which was once for universal genders. With a female partner Eevee, they now have a heart-shaped pattern at the tip of their tail. These differences do not exist in non-partnered Eevees. This was likely meant to correspond with Pikachu's gender differences. 
In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, these gender differences apply to all Eevee.
===Habitat===
Eevee is a Pokémon found mainly in cities, although it is possible that they live anywhere because they evolve to suit their surroundings. Eevee can mostly be found in Kanto but is also found in Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, Central Kalos, Alola and Galar.
In Paldea, Eevee (Lv. 30) is most abundant in the grasslands north of Medali. Eevee can also be found around the entrance to the Pokemon League (Lv. 7) northwest of Mesagoza and in the fields west of Cortondo (Lv. 10), although it spawns more rarely here. The League route is particularly unreliable. As mentioned, they tend to spawn near urban settlements, so if you stray too far from town, pull back. If there's still no luck, try leaving and returning to the area, e.g. by flying to a distant town and then straight back to reload the area and reroll the spawns. Another tip is to try eating a Ham Sandwich to increase encounters with Normal Pokémon. Eevee usually spawns solo rather than in groups.

===Natural abilities===
Eevee are Pokémon with unstable genetic codes. This gives them the ability to evolve into eight different evolutions triggered by the environment, time of day, friendship levels, or the usage of the evolutionary stones Water Stone, Thunderstone, Fire Stone, Leaf Stone (Generation VIII), and Ice Stone (Generation VIII).
Partner Eevee is also capable to learning special moves: Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, Sizzly Slide, Glitzy Glow, Baddy Bad, Sappy Seed, Freezy Frost, Sparkly Swirl, and the Partner Power, Veevee Volley.
====Z-Moves====
Eevee is one of the few Pokémon in Sun and Moon which have a special Z-Move dedicated to them.
The Z-Move Extreme Evoboost is Eevee's signature move. The move is activated by the Z-Crystal, Eevium Z. Its base is Last Resort. Extreme Evoboost can be learned only by an Eevee with Last Resort, and becomes unusable if Last Resort is forgotten or if the Eevee evolves into one of its evolution.
====Gigantamax====
Eevee is one of the few Pokémon in Sword and Shield that can Gigantamax by having a special member from its species.
Gigantamax Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max move, G-Max Cuddle.
==Evolution==
Eevee can evolve into one of eight different forms with different types. These forms include:
*Jolteon by use of a Thunder Stone;
*Flareon by use of a Fire Stone;
*Vaporeon by use of a Water Stone;
*Espeon when leveled up with high friendship during the day;
*Umbreon when leveled up with high friendship during the night;
*Leafeon when leveled up in Eterna Forest, Pinwheel Forest, Route 20 in Kalos, Petalburg Woods, Lush Jungle or wherever there is a Moss Rock in Generation IV to Generation VII, or by use of a Leaf Stone in Generation VIII;
*Glaceon when leveled up on Route 217, Twist Mountain, Frost Cavern, Shoal Cave, Mount Lanakila or wherever there is an Ice Rock in Generation IV to Generation VII, or by use of an Ice Stone in Generation VIII;
*Sylveon by knowing a -type move, while leveling up and playing with Eevee through Pokémon-Amie (Gen VI), Pokémon Refresh (Gen VII) and earning at least two affection hearts or when leveled up with high friendship (Gen VIII onwards).

===Manga===
====Pokémon Adventures====
In Pokémon Adventures, Red was in possession of an Eevee which had been experimented on by Team Rocket. As a result, it could transform back and forth from the three evolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon along with its base form, allowing it greater tactical ability in fighting other Pokémon. Eventually, it evolved into an Espeon, losing its special ability to interchange abilities.
====Electric Tale of Pikachu====
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, the character Mikey (who appeared in the anime episode: "The Battling Eevee Brothers") made an appearance with his own Eevee and within the chapter that he appeared in, Mikey attempted to prove to his brothers that he didn't need to evolve his Eevee to win battles.

*Up to Generation VIII, Eevee is one of the few Pokémon to evolve in a certain location (near a Mossy Rock or a Frozen Stone). The others being Magneton, Nosepass, Charjabug and Crabrawler. However, Eevee is the only one of them that has more than one evolution.

===Origin===
According to Motofumi Fujiwara, a key person at Game Freak, Eevee was based on a vague childhood experience he had. He described seeing an "indefinable creature" and that Eevee was based on a drawing of all that he could remember of it. Though it wasn't based on any distinct animal, Fujiwara mentioned that Eevee reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature.
Each one of Eevee's evolutions are based on the same design but are made to resemble their type.https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-09-10/Pokémon-designers-reflect-on-history-of-eevee-design/.136529
===Etymology===
Eevee's name likely comes from the letters E-V, an abbreviation for the word "evolution". Its Japanese name, Iibui, literally means "evolve". Eevee's original name, Eon, is simply the word eon (a long period of time).
