Are Eeveelutions Random in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered how Eevee evolves into its many forms in Pokemon GO? Is it just a toss of a virtual coin, or is there a secret recipe to get the Eeveelution you want? Let’s dive into the world of Eevee and uncover the mystery behind its evolution.
So, you’re curious if the way Eevee evolves into one of its cool forms is random in Pokemon GO, right? Well, you’re in the right spot to find out!
The Short Answer: It’s Not Entirely Random
In Pokemon GO, you have some control over Eevee’s evolution, but there’s also a hint of chance if you’re feeling lucky. Initially, it might seem like Eevee’s transformation is up to fate, but that’s not the whole story.
For most Eeveelutions, you can influence the outcome by renaming your Eevee before evolving it. Each Eeveelution has a specific nickname that, when used, guarantees the evolution – for example, renaming Eevee as ‘Rainer’ before evolving it will always result in a Vaporeon. However, this trick works only once for each nickname. After that, if you’re aiming for Espeon or Umbreon, the evolution depends on your actions, like walking 10km with Eevee as your buddy and evolving it during the day or night, respectively. If you leave it to chance, Eevee’s evolution into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon is random when you hit the evolve button without any tricks.
