There are a lot of mysteries to uncover in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and how to evolve Eevee is one that persists in pretty much every Pokémon game. With so much variety in the way that Eevee can evolve it’s easy to be baffled by it all, so here’s everything we know so far.
The Scarlet and Violet release date is scheduled for November 18th, 2022, so there’s still a little time to go before we get our hands on the title. However, the details below have stood us in good stead for years, so they should hold true for the open world adventure.

There hasn’t been a new version of Eevee since Sylveon was introduced in X and Y in 2013, so it’ll be big news if one is revealed for Scarlet and Violet.

Eevee evolutions
In total there are eight evolutions that you can choose from for Eevee. However, some are easier to know how to do than others. Vaporeon, Flareon, Glaceon, Jolteon and Leafeon are all fairly similar, but the differences for Espeon, Umbreon and Sylveon add a little complexity into the mix.
Vaporeon

Flareon
The fire-type evolution for Eevee transforms when you bestow the Fire Stone on one. Give the item to it and you’ll see it flame on to add a little heat to your party.
Jolteon

Glaceon
The Ice Stone the how to evolve Eevee into Glaceon, so again just give her the item and you’ll be on your way. However, as in previous Pokémon titles in the series, you’ll also be able to use the Ice Rock. Just let one out in the vicinity of the rock and you’ll get the transformation you need.
Leafeon
The grass-type evolution makes its change with the Leaf Stone, but just like Glaceon you’ll also have the opportunity to take your Eevee to the Moss Rock to achieve the same result.
Espeon
Things get a bit more convoluted from here on in. You can evolve Eevee into Espeon () by achieving high friendship during the day. To get high friendship the best bet is to have the Eevee in your party and your lead Pokémon. Use her to battle repeatedly and give her healing items during battles and she’ll eventually warm to you.
Umbreon
Umbreon (dark type) is the night time equivalent of Espeon, so achieve high friendship at night and you’ll get the job done. See the tips in Espeon for achieving high friendship.
Sylveon
If you’re wondering how to evolve Eevee into Sylveon, the fairy-type evolution, it’s a very similar process to the previous two. The only difference is that you need to achieve high friendship with a fairy-type move assigned to the Eevee. Just remember not to have one assigned if you’re going for Espeon or Umbreon, because this will over-ride their evolutions.
We’ll update you with more details on how to evolve Eevee once the release date lands. You can also check out our computer games section to keep tabs on the game. Visit the Pokémon website at www.pokemon.com/ for more details.
