Eevee

**Eevee** (イーブイ, *Iibui*) is a Normal-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 catlike, 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. A shiny Eevee has white fur with the ruff on its neck being silver in color.

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.
