Eevee is a rare, fox-like Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. It is particularly well-known for its alternate evolutionary paths, having seven different types of evolutions as of the fourth generation games.

Information

Apparently, Eevee has an unstable genetic code. This would cause Eevee to "mutate" and evolve in different environments. It will also evolve from exposure to several elemental stones.

There have been new Eevee evolutions introduced in every generation save for the third, as Eevee was not catchable in Pokémon: Ruby and Sapphire Versions. The three elemental stones that cause Eevee to evolve are the Thunder Stone, Water Stone and Fire Stone. These stones will evolve Eevee into Jolteon, Vaporeon or Flareon, respectively. Eevee can also turn into Espeon or Umbreon in games with built-in clocks. In these games Eevee will evolve when it is leveled up after reaching its maximum amount of happiness. Eevee will become Espeon if this happens in the daytime, or Umbreon at nighttime. These forms could alternately be reached by exposing Eevee to either a Sun Shard or Moon Shard in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Finally, two more evolutions were introduced in Diamond and Pearl. These evolutions come completely from the environment. Eevee will become Leafeon if it levels up while battling near the Moss Rock (at Eterna Forest in Sinnoh and Pinwheel Forest in Unova), or it will become Glaceon if it levels up while battling near the Ice Rock (at Route 217 in Sinnoh and Twist Mountain's lowest floor in Unova). This is the most clear example of Eevee evolving to adapt to its environment, although in the Mystery Dungeon side games the Mossy Rock and Frozen Rock are used instead.

Mainstream Games

Only one Eevee can be acquired in Pokémon: Red, Green, Blue and Yellow versions (as well as in Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions). This Eevee is found in a Pokéball lying in a table atop the Celadon Mansion. In the Yellow Version, Professor Oak offers Red an Eevee as a starter Pokémon, but Blue takes it instead. Blue uses the Eevee in all his battles with Red throughout the game, and eventually evolves it into either a Jolteon, Vaporeon or Flareon depending on whether Red won or lost their early battles.

There are more chances to get Eevee in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver. Eevee is received as a present from Bill, and it also appears as a prize in the Celadon City Game Corner for 6666 coins in Gold/Silver. In HeartGold/SoulSilver, Eevee could also be found on the Pokéwalker's Sightseeing course. In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, Eevee can be received as a present from Bebe in Hearthome City either after obtaining the National Pokédex (in Diamond/Pearl) or on the first visit to Hearthome (in Platinum). In all three games Eevee can also be found on the Trophy Garden on random days after the National Pokédex is unlocked.

Other Games

Eevee can be caught in Celadon City in Pokémon Pinball. In Pokémon Snap it is found at the Beach level, where it chases a rolling Chansey. The Chansey must be stopped with a Pester Ball (or the Eevee lured away with food) before a clear picture can be taken. In Pokémon Trozei!, it can be caught in Endless Level 13, Endless Level 31, Forever Level 13 or Mr. Who's Den. Eevee also appears in Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2. In the former game an Eevee is one of that randomly selected Pokémon that can be given as a prize for completing the Gym Leader Castle, while in the latter game it is featured in the Eager Eevee minigame.

Eevee is the default starter Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and can be transferred to the third generation games upon the game's completion. In Pokémon Channel, Eevee can be found in the Springleaf Field on cloudy days. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams it was one of the possible starter Pokémon which the player is turned into based on the results of the personality test in the beginning of the game, and within the game other Eevee could be found and recruited in the Joyous Tower's twelfth through seventeenth floors. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness and Time, Eevee can be found in the Mystifying Forest and the Mystery Jungle. In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Eevee can be found at Pueltown.

In My Pokémon Ranch, Eevee can also be obtained in a random trade with Hayley and transferred to the fourth generation games. In Pokémon Rumble, it can be found at Silent Forest, Rocky Cave, Fiery Furnace, Bright Beach and Eterna Tower. It also appeared in Pokémon Ranger: Garden Signs at Old Mansion and Fire Temple. In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, Eevee could be befriended at the Granite Zone and also appeared at the Meeting Place.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• Several Eevee made appearances in the anime. One episode featured a group of brothers with evolved Eevee who were trying to pressure their younger brother into evolving his. A similar episode during the Johto series instead featured a group of sisters from the games. Gary was also shown to own an Eevee (which was assumed to be his starter Pokémon due to Yellow until the end of the Johto arc revealed it was actually Squirtle), which eventually evolved into an Umbreon. May also had an Eevee that she used in battles after hatching from an egg, and it later evolved into Glaceon.
• During the Red/Green/Blue arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga, Red catches an Eevee that had been experimented on by Team Rocket so that it shifts through its three potential evolutions unpredictably (as part of its early experiments in fusing the three legendary birds together). Red takes it on as part of his team despite Team Rocket's attempts to capture it, and it eventually undergoes a permanent evolution into Espeon, at which point it no longer shifts between evolutions.

Trivia

• It's name is derived from "evolution".
• Eevee also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
• As the third generation games do not have the in-game clock, the only way to evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon for those games would be by exposing it to the Sun or Moon Shard in Pokémon XD and then transferring it back to the Gameboy Advance games. Alternately, Umbreon and Espeon would have to be transferred from Pokémon Colosseum.
