This article is about the evolution family of Eevee. For the Theme Deck released with the Skyridge expansion, see Eeveelution (TCG). For the deck archetype, see Eeveelutions.

An Eeveelution (Japanese: イーブイズ EVs[1]) is a term used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. It is a portmanteau of the words "Eevee" and "evolution". 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,[2] and then later in the TCG Theme Deck Eeveelution, as well as in the game Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

Eevee and the eight Eeveelutions

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 evolutionary stone.

Main article: Eevee

Eevee is the rival's starter Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow 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 player, while in Let's Go, Pikachu!, it is the starter Pokémon of their rival. While Trace always evolves his Eevee into Jolteon, the player's is treated as a Partner Pokémon 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.

Vaporeon, the first of the Eeveelutions in National Pokédex order, is a Water-type 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

Jolteon is the second of the Eeveelutions, evolving from exposure to a Thunder Stone, and is an Electric-type 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.

Main article: Flareon

The final member of Generation I's Eeveelution trio is Flareon, a Fire-type 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 FireRed and LeafGreen, Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon even though they exist and can be traded in from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions.

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 is the second of the two Generation II Eeveelutions, a Dark-type 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 HeartGold and SoulSilver, Eevee cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon even though they exist and can be traded in from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions.

Leafeon is the Grass-type evolution of Eevee. When an Eevee is leveled up near a large, mossy rock, it will evolve into this Pokémon.

Sylveon is a Fairy-type evolution of Eevee. It evolves when leveled up with a Fairy-type move and at least two Affection hearts in Pokémon-Amie or Pokémon Refresh.

Eevee and its eight evolved forms in the anime

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. The seven Eeveelutions as of Generation IV were first featured together with an Eevee as a small cameo at the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior. In the Pikachu short Eevee & Friends, it featured Eevee with all eight of its Eeveelutions as of Generation VI.

In the manga

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

In the chapter To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!, Ash and Mikey fight together against the Eevee brothers so that Mikey and his Eevee may be accepted into the secret fellowship, The Knights of the E Stone. Each of Mikey's brothers owns one of Eevee's evolutions which was known at the time (Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon), and Mikey's Eevee must fight each of its evolutions to prove its worth despite being an unevolved Pokémon.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Vee

Vee was featured as a Pokémon Team Rocket experimented on with the use of the "Eevee Bio-Engineering Scheme". This allowed Eevee to freely evolve into any of the Generation I Eeveelutions and then revert back into its original form. After some time under Red's ownership however, Vee evolved into an Espeon, and the ability was eliminated.

Karen's Umbreon, first seen in the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc, used to be an Eevee.

The five Kimono Girls debuted in the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc. Each own a different Eeveelution like their game counterparts, and by the end of the chapter, recruited a Leafeon and a Glaceon.

Y in the X & Y arc caught an Eevee which she nicknamed Veevee and eventually evolved into Sylveon. This makes Y the second Pokédex holder to own an Eeveelution.

In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga

Bill in The Golden Boys has an Umbreon and Espeon.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Mitsumi in the manga owns a Glaceon, Leafeon, Espeon, and an Eevee who was held hostage by Cyrus for a brief time.

In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga

Lily in Pokémon 7 owns a Leafeon that was given to her by Nazuna.

In the Pocket Monsters manga

Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon were seen in the Pocket Monsters manga.

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 Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon were originally released in the Jungle expansion.

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

There have also been several deck archetypes that revolve around the Eeveelutions, mostly due to their versatility and their lack of a unanimous weakness. One of the most recent is Eeveelutions, which utilizes Pokémon-ex variants of all five then-known Eeveelutions. The use of this archetype has been assisted by the release of a great many Energy cards that provide more than one type of Energy, such as Rainbow Energy. In Majestic Dawn, Glaceon and Leafeon were introduced to the TCG; the set also included all previous Eeveelutions. The most recent expansion to include the Eevee family is Plasma Freeze, including all but Sylveon (since the set was released during Generation V). Sylveon was first introduced into the TCG in Furious Fists (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: Water.
  • A chapter of Magical Pokémon Journey, Eevee-Lu-Tion, parodies this term. (Eevee and Lu are the names of two characters from the Magical Pokémon Journey manga).
  • 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.[3]
