How to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokemon Go

Here’s how you can get all Eevee evolutions in Pokemon Go:

Vaporeon, Jolteon & Flareon

If any or all three of these three Eeveelutions are unregistered in your Pokedex, you must use the nicknames Rainer, Sparky, and Pyro to get Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon in Pokemon Go. Otherwise, these three are random evolutions.

Espeon & Umbreon

If these two are unregistered in your Pokedex, you must use the nicknames Sakura and Tamao to get Espeon and Umbreon in Pokemon Go.

Otherwise, you will have to make Eevee and walk 10km in the daytime to get Espeon and in the nighttime to get Umbreon.

Leafeon & Glaceon

If these two are unregistered in your Pokedex, you must use the nicknames Linnea and Ria to get Leafeon and Glaceon in Pokemon Go.

Otherwise, you can evolve Eevee under a Mossy Lure to get Leafeon and under a Glacial Lure to get Glaceon.

Sylveon

If it is unregistered in your Pokedex, you must use the nickname Kira to get Sylveon in Pokemon Go.

Otherwise, you will have to set Eevee as your Buddy and earn 70 Buddy Hearts to evolve it into Sylveon.

You should note that regardless of the evolution method or the Pokemon you want to evolve Eevee into, you will require 50 Candy.
