Biology
Physiology
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-colored. Eevee has brown eyes and big ears. It has traits of raccoons, foxes, dogs, and cats. Eevee has an irregular genetic code and can sometimes evolve in accordance to its environment. Seven evolutions for this Pokémon have been discovered so far. Three of these evolutions are the result of Eevee being exposed to either a Fire Stone, Thunderstone or Water Stone. Two more of the evolutions involve maximum affection with the Trainer and accordance to the time of day. The final two evolutions are the result of training in two specific areas, Eterna Forest and Route 217.
Gender differences
No gender differences are known.
Special abilities
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are Normal-type attacks; such as Tackle and Quick Attack, but it can also Bite its opponents and use Shadow Ball, however, it's unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as Helping Hand and Wish. Eevee is one of the four Pokémon that can learn Trump Card. Some Eevee have the ability Adaptability, which makes any Normal-type attack that they use become stronger than when used by any other Normal-type Pokémon whose attack power is the same as Eevee's. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon. This code may also shed some light on its ability, Adaptability.
Behavior
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks but are usually affectionate, loyal and fairly energetic Pokémon.
Habitat
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings.

Major Appearances
May's Eevee
May received an egg from a Daycare Worker in May's Egg-Cellent Adventure. The egg hatched into an Eevee in Time-Warp Heals All Wounds, and evolved into Glaceon before May met back up with the group in A Full Course Tag Battle!.
Gary's Eevee
Gary's Eevee debuted in The Rivalry Revival, defeating Ash's Pikachu. It evolved into an Umbreon some time before Power Play.
Other
Eevee first appeared in The Battling Eevee Brothers. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older brothers because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated Team Rocket, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.
Sakura had an Eevee in Trouble's Brewing. By the time Ash and co. met up with Sakura again in Espeon Not Included, her Eevee had evolved into an Espeon.
Minor Appearances
Ritchie consulted Professor Oak on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns a Eevee in the first place.
An Eevee was used by one of the students of the Pokémon Trainer's School in Gonna Rule The School!.

In the manga
Like in the anime, Eevee is featured in The Electric Tale of Pikachu under the ownership of Mikey.
Eevee is owned by Coconut in Magical Pokémon Journey. Another Eevee named Lu appears and shows its love for Coconut's Eevee.]
Pokémon Adventures
Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by Team Rocket, in their tests to attempt merging Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres into a single Pokémon. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, though not at will. Red eventually captures this Eevee. When it evolves into Espeon, however, it loses its mutation ability.
Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of Karen, during her childhood as one of the children captured by the Masked Man. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her Umbreon.

- Fans have come up with a term to refer to all Pokémon which evolve from Eevee: Eeveelutions.
- All of Eevee's evolutions end in the suffix -eon.
- Eevee and its evolutions all have a catch rate of 45.
- In Pokémon Ranger, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be "captured". However, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was eventually changed in the sequel.
- Eevee's name is a palindrome; it shares this distinction with Girafarig and Ho-Oh.
- Eevee's Generation I evolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon can be obtained at level 1 since an evolutionary stone is required for each, while its Generation II and Generation IV evolutions can be obtained at level 2, because they require leveling up when a certain condition is met.
- If Eevee's happiness is raised to a maximum while in Eterna Forest or on Route 217, it will not evolve into Espeon or Umbreon; instead becoming Leafeon or Glaceon, respectively.
- Eevee and Tyrogue are the only Pokémon that can evolve into more than two Pokémon, if Wormadam's alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
- Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one ability. The other two are Trapinch and Sneasel.
- Whenever an Eevee is shown to belong to a main or recurring character (as has happened with Gary Oak, Sakura, and May), that character's Eevee is later shown to have evolved, but so far, the evolution of an Eevee has never actually been seen on-screen. Mikey's Eevee is the only Eevee shown yet in the anime that was never revealed to evolve; he vowed not to evolve it, in fact.
- During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of several Pokémon in Generation II and on, however, its only distinction now is its ability to evolve into as many species as it is able: currently seven.
- Eevee is one of two Pokémon that evolve with the Thunderstone. The other is Pikachu.
- Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild. Interestingly, when it is caught, it knows four status moves.
- All of Eevee's evolutions 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 covered is Dragon.
- Bite is the only move learned by Eevee that gets a same-type attack bonus for one of its evolved forms.
- Eevee is the only Pokémon that is given by an NPC in all four generations.
Origin
It has traits of fennec foxes and cats. It is possibly based on the folklore of Tanuki, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the Japanese racoon dog. It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it.
Name origin
Eevee's name is a pronunciation of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.
Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon," the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee, which probably is a shortening of "evolution". Eon also means a long time, which is how long it takes for evolution to take place in the real world.
