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 Starter 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 bushy, brown fur. Its muzzle is very cat-like, with a small, black and triangular nose. It has a fluffy cream-colored ruff around its neck and a short, bushy and fox-like tail with a creamy tip. Eevee has round, deep-brown eyes, long rabbit-like ears, and pink paw pads on its little feet. Its paws are small with three toes and no visible claws.
Eevee is said to have an irregularly-shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon.
As Gigantamax Eevee, its body becomes larger. The fur collar grows longer and fluffier with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds surrounding it like 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.
===Gender differences===
As of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, male partner Eevee has a zigzag pattern at the end of his tail, which was once for universal genders. With female partner Eevee, they now have a heart-shaped pattern at the end of their tail. In non-partner Eevee, these gender differences do not exist. This was likely meant to counterpart how female Pikachu have heart tails.
In Pokémon Sword and 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.
===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 Mossy Rock in Generation IV to Generation VII, in Generation VIII Leafeon evolves by use of a Leaf Stone;
*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, in Generation VIII Glaceon evolves by use of an Ice Stone;
*Sylveon by knowing a -type move, while leveling up and playing with Eevee through Pokémon-Amie (Gen VI) or Pokémon Refresh (Gen VII) and earning at least two affection hearts.

Eevee first appeared in The Battling Eevee Brothers. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older brothers because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated Team Rocket, they were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.
Virgil had an Eevee acting as a helper to Team Eevee.
Ilima owned an Eevee who preferred not to have it evolve, just like Mikey's Eevee. It used Charm on Team Skull's female members who accompanied their male members that wanted to get revenge on Ilima, who unknowingly had ruined their lives in their childhood past for being popular than them, and used its exclusive Z-Move Extreme Evoboost to summon all of its evolved forms, blasting off Team Skull from threatening Ilima and the Pokémon School.
An upbeat Eevee with a closed banged messy hair, nicknamed "Sandy", appeared in the third season of Sun & Moon series, debuting in the first "Where are you going, Eevee?" short episode tie-in of "Lillier and the Staff!", and properly in "We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!", in which Lana caught it with her Dive Ball then gave it a newer haircut. Lana's father was the first one to see Sandy when he was on his boat witnessing the said Pokémon with his old friend Mantine.
A female Eevee appear in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, where it under the ownership of Chloe.
Risa's Eevee was a Pokémon in the movie: The Power of Us. Eevee was caught when he battled Ash's Pikachu with Risa instructing him. Although Risa failed to catch him the first time she tried to, the second time Risa was successful in catching Eevee.

====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.

*Eevee got its cry from the anime (voiced by Kayzie Rogers) in all games after Pokémon Let's Go, a feature that was previously exclusive to Pikachu.
*The Partner Eevee in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is shiny locked. This means that your partner cannot be a Shiny Pokémon.
===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).
