As most Pokémon trainers are aware, Eevee has a large array of possible evolutions. Some of them can be forced by using specific stones, but in Pokémon GO, some of these stones aren't available. This means that if you want to get a specific evolution, you may just have to get lucky. But for those willing, a trainer can have a well-rounded team ready to take down the fiercest of Team Rocket leaders, like Giovanni, comprised solely of Eevee evolutions.
Pokemon GO Eevee Evolutions Names
Pokémon GO has a trick that can guarantee you'll get the Eeveelution you want. When you nickname your Eevee one of the names in the list below, it guarantees the Eevee will evolve into the respective Eeveelution. The downside to this trick is that each name can only be used once. Still, if you're looking for a specific Eevee, this is the way to get it!
- Espeon (Psychic): Sakura
- Flareon (Fire): Pyro
- Glaceon (Ice): Rea
- Jolteon (Electric): Sparky
- Leafeon (Grass): Linnea
- Sylveon (Fairy): Kira
- Umbreon (Dark): Tamao
- Vaporeon (Water): Rainer
