Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players looking at how to evolve Eevee are in the right place as our guide covers everything you need to know about its Eeveelutions. Here’s a full rundown of how to get every Eevee evolution and their conditions.

Since the dawn of Pokemon, Eevee has continued to be one of the franchise’s most beloved creatures thanks to its enduring cuteness and the many evolved forms it’s capable of turning into.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet carry on the tradition of letting players catch an Eevee and help it transform into one of its many different evolutions – also known as Eeveelutions.

To make this easier, we’re going to run through every single Eevee evolution, as well as the various methods required to get them in Scarlet and Violet.

All Eevee evolutions in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

To date, Eevee has eight different forms that the Pokemon can turn into in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. These are all the Eevee evolutions available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

  • Jolteon – Electric-type
  • Flareon – Fire-type
  • Vaporeon – Water-type
  • Espeon – Psychic-type
  • Umbreon – Dark-type
  • Leafeon – Grass-type
  • Glaceon – Ice-type
  • Sylveon – Fairy-type

It is also worth mentioning that with the launch of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC: The Teal Mask, all Eeveelutions have received a considerable boost to their movesets, with new TMs incorporated into the game.

In order to acquire every Eevee evolution, there are different requirements and certain things you’re going to need to do first.

Before we even get into the more advanced methods of evolving Eevee, we need the original Pokemon itself in Scarlet and Violet. We’ll explain all you need to know below.

How to catch Eevee in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

To catch an Eevee in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, players can find them in and around Cortondo in the Southern Province or Medali in the Western Province.

Its spawn rate isn’t anything to shout home about, so remain patient. Keep entering and leaving these areas to reset the spawns, and bide your time as one will turn up eventually.

First up in Pokedex order is Jolteon, and in order to add it to your party in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’re going to need to use a Thunder Stone on Eevee.

Next up is Flareon, the fearsome fire form of Eevee. If you want a cute but red-hot Pokemon to add to your team in Scarlet and Violet, you just need to use a Fire Stone on Eevee.

How to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Rounding out Gen 1 Eevee evolutions, players can also get Vaporeon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. To do so, use a Water Stone on Eevee to complete the transformation.

Vaporeon is one of the most popular Eeveelutions.

How to evolve Eevee into Espeon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Moving on to Gen 2, we have Espeon, and since it has a whole different method for evolving in most Pokemon games, Scarlet and Violet aren’t an exception. Espeon requires you to get your friendship with Eevee up to near max and then gain a level to evolve it during the daytime.

Espeon is one of the most powerful of Eeveelutions.

How to evolve Eevee into Umbreon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Umbreon is arguably the most mysterious-looking of the Eevee evolution line, and players can get it in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Getting an Umbreon also demands that the player raise the friendship level to max, but raise its level and evolve it during nighttime.

Umbreon was introduced in Gen 2 with the creation of Dark-type Pokemon.

How to evolve Eevee into Leafeon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Eevee added two evolutions in Gen 4, so now it is Leafeon’s turn. If you want to guarantee yourself the Grass-type Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you are required to use a Leaf Stone on Eevee.

Leafeon is considered one of the weakest Eeveelutions.

How to evolve Eevee into Glaceon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

As you can guess from other Eeveelutions, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can get the Ice-type Pokemon Glaceon and all you need to do is use an Ice Stone on Eevee.

Glaceon is the only Eeveelution that can’t learn the move Trailblaze in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The eighth and final evolution is everybody’s favorite Fairy-type Pokemon – Sylveon. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers will have to once again get the friendship level up with Eevee to a very high level, teach it a Fairy-type move, and then level it up. The first Fairy-type move Eevee can learn is Baby-Doll Eyes at level 15, but you can also use TMs to speed up the process.

Sylveon is another fan-favorite Eeveelution with a lot of power.

Keep in mind that all Eeveelutions can also appear in the wild in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, although most of them will do so at level 50, which can be a tough challenge for trainers early in the game.


Eevee fans should now have everything they need to know about the Pokemon and its different evolutions in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
