Eevolution

Template:Search *For the Template:TCG, see Template:TCG.*

An **Eevolution** (Japanese: **イーブイズ** *EVs*) is a term used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevo. It is a portmanteau of the words "**Eevo**" and "evo**lution**". Its definition may be extended to include Eevo itself. It originally was an unofficial term used by fans, but the term eventually passed into the realm of official usage first as a pun in the official guide of Pokémon Stadium 2, and then later in the TCG Theme Deck Template:TCG, as well as in the game Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

## In the games

### Generation I

In Generation I, Eevo is obtained at the Celadon Mansion and can evolve into Joltevo,Flarevo or Vaporevo through the use of an Evolution.

#### Eevo

*Main article: Eevo*
Eevo is the Template:Ga's starter eieimon in

## Eevolution

 as well as the starter eieimon for both Michael in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and the Hero/Heroine in Pokémon Conquest. In eieimon: Let's Go, Eevo!, an Eevo is the starter eieimon of the Template:Player, while in Let's Go, Pikachu!, it is the starter eieimon of their Template:Ga. While Trace always evolves his Eevo into [Jolteon (Pokémon)|Jolteon]], the player's is treated as a Template:Ga which cannot evolve. To compensate for this, the player's Partner has higher stats than a regular Eevo and can be taught special moves related to the types of the other Eevolutions.

In Gala, certain Eevo, while incapable of evolving, are capable of maxing.

#### Vaporevo

*Main article: Vaporevo*
**Vaporevo**, the first of the Eevolutions in National Pokédex order, is a Template:Type eieimon. It evolves from an Eevo that is exposed to a Water.

Vaporevo is the only Eevolution that does not share any weakness with another.

#### Joltevo

*Main article: Joltevo*
**Joltevo** is the second of the Eevolutions, evolving from exposure to a Thunder, and is an Template:Type eieimon.

Joltevo is the only Eevolution without an obvious tail. However, in the The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, it is shown to have a stubby tail under its spikes, although the tail is absent from its Generation V backsprite.

#### Flarevo

*Main article: Flarevo*
The final member of Generation I's Eevolution trio is **Flarevo**, a Template:Type eieimon, evolving from Eevee when it is exposed to a Fire.

Flarevo is the only Eevolution with a type advantage over more than one other Eevolution.

### Generation II

Eevo is again available relatively early in Generation II, which introduces two new Eevolutions: Espevo and Umbrevo, obtained when Eevo is leveled up with high friendship at certain times of the day. Each of Ecrut City's Kims Girls owns one of the five Eevolutions that existed in Generation II.

Because there is no clock system in Template:2v2, Eevo cannot evolve into Espevo or Umbrevo even though they exist and can be traded in from Template:3v.

#### Espevo

*Main article: Espevo*
The {{Psychic}}-type **Espevo** evolves from Eevo when it is raised to 220 friendship and gains a level Template:Tt. It, alongside Umbrevo, is the starter Pokémon for Pokémon Colosseum.

Espevo is the only Eevolution not to have a type advantage over another at all.

#### Umbrevo

*Main article: Umbrevo*
**Umbrevo** is the second of the two Generation II Eevolutions, a Template:Type Pokémon. Umbrevo evolves from Eevo when it gains a level Template:Tt with 220 friendship. It, alongside Espevo, is the starter Pokémon for Pokémon Colosseum.

### Generation IV

Though no new Eevolutions were introduced in Generation III, Generation IV added another pair of new Eevolutions, [Leafevo (Pokémon)|Leafevo]] and [Glacevo (Pokémon)|Glacevo]], which are obtained by leveling Eevo up in certain areas, another departure from the methods of evolution in previous generations.

Because there is no Moss or Icy in Template:2v2, Eevo cannot evolve into Leafevo or Glacevo even though they exist and can be traded in from Template:3v.

#### Leafevo

*Main article: Leafevo*
**Leafevo** is the Template:Type evolution of Eevo. When an Eevo is leveled up near a large, mossy rock (from Generations IV through VII) or exposed to a Leaf (in Generation III), it will evolve into this eieimon.

Leafevo is the only Eevolution whose base stat in Special Defense is lower than 95.

#### Glacevo

*Main article: Glacevo*
**Glacevo** is an Template:Type evolution of Eevo. Glaevo evolves from Eevo when it is leveled up near an ice-covered rock (from Generations IV through VII) or exposed to an Ice (in Generation VIII).

### Generation VI

Eevolutions once again skip a generation and introduce a new evolution in Generation VI: Sylvevo.

#### Sylvevo

*Main article: Sylvevo*
**Sylvevo** is a Template:Type evolution of Eevo. It evolves when leveled up with a Template:Type move and at least two Affection hearts in Pokémon-Amie or Pokémon Refresh, or in Generation VIII, when leveled up with a Template:Type move and at least 160 base happiness.

Sylvevo is the only Eevolution introduced alone in an individual generation.

In the anime, the Eeveelutions have been featured together in several episodes, most specifically in *The Battling Eevee Brothers* under the possession of the Eevee brothers, which focused on the three Generation I Eeveelutions, as well as Eevee itself, and *Trouble's Brewing* under the possession of Sakura and the Kimono Girls, which focused on the five Eeveelutions there were as of Generation II, although Sakura's Espeon was still an Eevee during this episode.

## In the TCG

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, many sets featuring the Eeveelutions have been released. Commonly, all of them will be released within the same expansion set, much as Template:TCG ID, Template:TCG ID, and Template:TCG ID were originally released in the Template:TCG expansion.

Included with the Template:TCG expansion, also, is a Template:TCG by the name of Template:TCG, which features the original three Eeveelutions as the focus. However, the deck only includes the three Generation I Eeveelutions: whereas Template:TCG ID was released in the set, Espeon was not.

There have also been several Template:TCG that revolve around the Eeveelutions, mostly due to their versatility and their lack of a unanimous weakness. One of the most recent is Template:TCG, which utilizes Template:TCG of all five then-known Eeveelutions. The use of this archetype has been assisted by the release of a great many Template:TCGs that provide more than one type of Energy, such as Template:TCG. In Template:TCG, Template:TCG and Template:TCG were introduced to the TCG; the set also included all previous Eeveelutions. The most recent expansion to include the Eevee family is Template:TCG, including all but Sylveon (since the set was released during Generation V). Sylveon was first introduced into the TCG in Template:TCG (if the XY Black Star Promos and the XY Trainer Kit are not counted).

## Trivia

* Each Eeveelution has identical base stat totals, as well as the same 130-110-95-65-65-60 amounts. What differs among them is which amount is allotted to which stat.
	+ No Eeveelution so far has either HP or Special Defense as its lowest base stat.
* In the TCG, Glaceon and Vaporeon are the only Eeveelutions to share a type: Template:TCG.
* A chapter of Magical Pokémon Journey, *Eevee-Lu-Tion*, parodies this term.
* The Eeveelutions were featured along with Eevee in the Eevee Essences Collection.
* No Eeveelution is of a type that was considered physical prior to Generation IV.
* Motofumi Fujiwara designed Eevee, Jolteon, and Flareon. Atsuko Nishida designed all of the other Eeveelutions.
* Each Eeveelution evolves using a method that was introduced in their respective generations.
