Eeveelution

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

An **Eeveelution** (Japanese: **イーブイズ** *EVs*) is a term used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. It is a portmanteau of the words "**Eevee**" and "evo**lution**". Its definition may be extended to include Eevee 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, Eevee is obtained at the Celadon Mansion and can evolve into Jolteon, Flareon, or Vaporeon through the use of an Evolution stone.

#### Eevee

*Main article: Eevee*
Eevee is the Template:Ga's starter Pokémon in

## Eeveelution

as well as the starter Pokémon for both Michael in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and the Hero/Heroine in Pokémon Conquest. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, an Eevee is the starter Pokémon of the Template:Player, while in Let's Go, Pikachu!, it is the starter Pokémon of their Template:Ga. While Trace always evolves his Eevee into 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 Eevee and can be taught special moves related to the types of the other Eeveelutions.

In Galar, certain Eevee, while incapable of evolving, are capable of Gigantamaxing.

#### Vaporeon

*Main article: Vaporeon*
**Vaporeon**, the first of the Eeveelutions in National Pokédex order, is a

Pokémon. It evolves from an Eevee that is exposed to a Water Stone.
Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another.

#### Jolteon

*Main article: Jolteon*
**Jolteon** is the second of the Eeveelutions, evolving from exposure to a Thunder Stone, and is an

Pokémon.
Jolteon is the only Eeveelution 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.

#### Flareon

*Main article: Flareon*
The final member of Generation I's Eeveelution trio is **Flareon**, a

Pokémon, evolving from Eevee when it is exposed to a Fire Stone.
Flareon is the only Eeveelution with a type advantage over more than one other Eeveelution.

### Generation II

Eevee is again available relatively early in Generation II, which introduces two new Eeveelutions: Espeon and Umbreon, obtained when Eevee is leveled up with high friendship at certain times of the day. Each of Ecruteak City's Kimono Girls owns one of the five Eeveelutions that existed in Generation II.

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

#### Espeon

*Main article: Espeon*
The {{Psychic}}-type **Espeon** evolves from Eevee when it is raised to 220 friendship and gains a level during the daytime. It, alongside Umbreon, is the starter Pokémon for Pokémon Colosseum.

Espeon is the only Eeveelution not to have a type advantage over another at all.

#### Umbreon

*Main article: Umbreon*
**Umbreon** is the second of the two Generation II Eeveelutions, a

Pokémon. Umbreon evolves from Eevee when it gains a level during the nighttime with 220 friendship. It, alongside Espeon, is the starter Pokémon for Pokémon Colosseum.

### Generation IV

Though no new Eeveelutions were introduced in Generation III, Generation IV added another pair of new Eeveelutions, Leafeon and Glaceon, which are obtained by leveling Eevee up in certain areas, another departure from the methods of evolution in previous generations.

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

#### Leafeon

*Main article: Leafeon*
**Leafeon** is the

evolution of Eevee. When an Eevee is leveled up near a large, mossy rock (from Generations IV through VII) or exposed to a Leaf Stone (in Generation VIII), it will evolve into this Pokémon.
Leafeon is the only Eeveelution whose base stat in Special Defense is lower than 95.

#### Glaceon

*Main article: Glaceon*
**Glaceon** is an

evolution of Eevee. Glaceon evolves from Eevee when it is leveled up near an ice-covered rock (from Generations IV through VII) or exposed to an Ice Stone (in Generation VIII).

### Generation VI

Eeveelutions once again skip a generation and introduce a new evolution in Generation VI: Sylveon.

#### Sylveon

*Main article: Sylveon*
**Sylveon** is a

evolution of Eevee. It evolves when leveled up with a

move and at least two Affection hearts in Pokémon-Amie or Pokémon Refresh, or in Generation VIII, when leveled up with a

move and at least 160 base happiness.
Sylveon is the only Eeveelution introduced alone in an individual generation.

## 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.
