Eevee (Japanese: イーブイ Eievui) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is known to evolve into one of seven different Pokémon by various methods.

Eevee is the starter Pokémon for the main character of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. It is also the starter Pokémon for the rival in Pokémon Yellow, although Professor Oak originally intended to give it to the player.

Biology

Eevee has an irregular genetic code and can sometimes evolve in accordance with environmental stimuli. 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 are determined by the time of day. The final two evolutions are the result of training in two specific areas, Eterna Forest and Pinwheel Forest, and Route 217 and Twist Mountain.

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. It has four short, feline-esque legs with three small toes on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of rabbits, Miacids, foxes, dogs, and cats.

Gender differences

None.

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 is 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 few 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 one of its abilities, 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. It was first documented in Kanto, but has been seen in Johto and Sinnoh.

Diet

In the anime

Eevee egg in the anime

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.

An Eevee appeared in A Rivalry to Gible On!.

Two Eevee appeared in Last Call, First Round!, under the ownership of Ursula. Both of them evolved during her performance, into a Vaporeon and a Flareon.

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 an Eevee in the Japanese version.

An Eevee was used by one of the students of the Pokémon Trainer's School in Gonna Rule The School!.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
EP040 Eevee Ash's Pokédex Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. It has the potential to evolve into any one of three different Pokémon.
EP040 Eevee's evolution Ash's Pokédex Eevee evolves into one of three Pokémon depending on what stone is used on it:

Using a Fire Stone will yield Flareon, the Flame Pokémon.
A Water Stone yields Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokémon.
A Thunderstone yields Jolteon, the Lightning Pokémon.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP174 Eevee Dawn's Pokédex Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Eevee is a unique Pokémon that can adapt to its environment by changing its form and abilities when evolving.

In the manga

Mikey's Eevee in The Electric Tale of Pikachu

In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Like in the anime, Mikey owns an Eevee in the The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!.

In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga

Main article: Coconut's Eevee

An Eevee is owned by Coconut in Magical Pokémon Journey. This Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named Lu appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Vee

An 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 and revert, though it still requires the energies of an Evolutionary Stone. Red eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging Erika. When it evolved into Espeon, however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.

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, which she used to fight Green.

In the TCG

Main article: Eevee (TCG)

As in the games and anime, Eevee is notable in the TCG for being able to evolve into the most differently-named Pokémon cards, with its seven normal evolutions, as well as Dark forms of the Generation I evolutions and Espeon, and Light forms of the Generation I evolutions.

In the TFG

One Eevee figure has been released.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Eevee only appears as a random trophy.

Trophy information

As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment. So far, five evolutionary forms have been discovered and then catalogued for this unique Pokémon; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. All evolutions have special benefits.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee. This in turn is a shortening of "evolution".
  • The fanmade term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, Eeveelutions, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for Pokémon Stadium 2, followed by a TCG Theme Deck.
  • 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 changed in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
  • Eevee's name is a palindrome; it shares this distinction with Girafarig, Ho-Oh and Alomomola.
  • 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 non-hidden abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one non-hidden ability. The other two are Trapinch and Sneasel.
  • Despite the fact that May, Gary and Sakura each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until Last Call — First Round! when Ursula evolved her two Eevee into Flareon and Vaporeon during a contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
  • During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of other branched evolutions in Generation II, its distinction is the number of Pokémon which it can evolve into.
  • Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild.
  • 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.
  • Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is Azurill.
  • Eevee and Feebas are the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the main series. Feebas can evolve into Milotic when leveled up with maximum Beauty or when traded while holding the Prism Scale; Eevee can evolve into Espeon or Umbreon when leveled up with maximum happiness during the day or night, respectively, or via Sun Shard or Moon Shard, respectively.
    • However, some Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, including four of Eevee's evolutions.
  • It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver since the region has neither an Ice nor a Moss Rock.
  • Prior to Gen V, the player could obtain an Eevee in every generation.

Origin

Eevee shares traits with foxes, more specifically the Fennec fox, dogs 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 raccoon dog. It may also be based on Miacoidea, an extinct paraphyletic superfamily that has been traditionally divided into two families of carnivores.

It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the fox's ability to adapt to extreme environments, like the desert fox and the arctic fox.

Name origin

Eevee's name is a pronunciation of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.
