Eeveelution

This article is about the evolution family based on Eevee. For the Theme Deck released with the Skyridge expansion, see Eeveelution. For the deck archetype, see Eeveelutions.

An Eeveelution is a popular fanon term for the current seven Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. It is a portmanteau of the words "Eevee" and "evolution".

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 single weakness among them. 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. The newest expansion to include the Eevee family is Majestic Dawn, which introduces Glaceon and Leafeon to the TCG, as well as including all previous Eeveelutions.

Trivia

• All of the Eeveelutions so far have had their elemental type be one whose moves were formerly governed solely by the Special Attack stat. The only formerly all-special elemental type not yet covered is Dragon, which may indicate the next Eeveelution, if there is one.
• Each Eeveelution has identical base stat totals, as well as the same 130-110-95-65-65-60 amounts. What differs among them is what amount is allotted to which stat.
• Espeon and Glaceon both have their highest base stat in Special Attack, as well as the same stats in HP and Special Defense. The other stats, however, vary.
• The Battling Eevee Brothers focused on the three Generation I Eeveelutions, as well as Eevee itself, while Trouble's Brewing focused on the five Eeveelutions there were as of Generation II. Glaceon first appeared in DP076, as May's evolved Eevee, while Leafeon has not appeared yet. Both of the Generation IV evolutions were featured in a design in the Space-Time Tower in The Rise of Darkrai.
• The instructor of the Pokémon Exam that Ash and Team Rocket competed in in The Ultimate Test used the first generation Eeveelutions to battle Ash.
• In the TCG, out of the seven Eeveelutions, only two share a type: Glaceon and Vaporeon, which both appear as Water Pokémon. If a Dragon-type Eeveelution is released, it will be the only one to share its TCG type with Eevee, barring the release of a pure Template:Type2 evolution of Eevee.
• Eevee and all of the Eeveelutions each have a catch rate of 45.
• Only Eevee and its original evolved forms from Generation I have the distinctive ruff-like collar. The Eeveelutions released afterward do not possess this feature.
• There's a curious pattern between the Eeveelutions: Leafeon, Vaporeon, and Umbreon have the same height; Espeon and Flareon also have the same height; and finally, Glaceon and Jolteon have the same height.
• Leafeon is one to not yet make an appearance in the anime fully.
• All three of the Generation I Eeveelutions have an ability that negates damage from their own type, while the Generation II Eeveelutions are the only ones which have the same ability, and the Generation IV Eeveelutions have abilities that require a certain weather condition to be in effect.
• The Japanese names of the Eeveelutions from particular generations seem to relate to one another. The Eeveelutions from Generation I all end with an -er sound, the Eeveelutions from Generation II end with an -ee sound, and the Eeveelutions from Generation IV end with -ia. Eevee itself also ends with an -ee sound like its Generation II evolutions.
