==In the core series games==
A location-based Evolution is triggered once the Pokémon levels up at the end of a Pokémon battle or by the use of a Rare Candy. From Generation VIII onwards, some Evolution stones can be used instead of some location-based Evolutions.
's Evolution by leveling up near a Moss Rock or Ice Rock (into or Glaceon, respectively) takes precedence over all its other Evolutions triggered by level-up. For more details, see Eevee → Evolution data.
