Players of Pokémon Go have a special fondness for Eeveelutions, but obtaining them all can be a challenge. One popular trick is to use the Pokémon’s name to control its evolution, but it is recommended to save this trick for later levels. Waiting until Level 41 is advisable because one of the requirements for Level 42 is to evolve Eevee into each of its unique evolutions.
While it may take some time to reach Level 41, it is worth the wait because there is something even more difficult to achieve in Pokémon Go: obtaining all the Eeveelutions in their Shiny versions. The only guaranteed way to obtain Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon, the Kanto evolutions of Eevee, is by renaming them Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro, respectively. This name trick can only be used once, so it is crucial not to waste it.
For the other Eeveelutions, there are specific tasks and methods to obtain them, and the name trick can also be used. The only roadblock is with the three Kanto evolutions, which can be obtained by evolving Eevees repeatedly until all three are acquired. However, it is advised to save the name trick for the Shiny versions of these evolutions.
Obtaining all the Shiny Eeveelutions is more challenging than meeting the Level 42 requirement, according to players. To guarantee all Eeveelutions except for Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon, certain actions need to be taken. Walking 10km as a buddy and evolving during the day for Espeon or during the night for Umbreon, earning 70 buddy hearts for Sylveon, spinning a glacial lure for Glaceon, and a mossy lure for Leafeon are the methods to obtain these evolutions. Only Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon remain completely random.
Players overwhelmingly agree with the suggestion to save the name trick for the Shiny Eeveelutions. In the comments, users also provide tips to help players complete the Level 41 task, which can be time-consuming. One important tip is to avoid forgetting which Eeveelutions have already been validated. Tagging the Pokémon species can help keep track of the ones that have been counted in the task.
For players who have been playing since the game’s launch and have already used the name trick, luck is their only hope as there is no option to reset the rename for longtime players.
