Everyone and their grandmother knows the Pokémon Eevee; this little cutie is almost as recognizable as Pikachu and is not just one of the most intriguing creatures in Kanto but in the franchise as a whole. Eevee has a staggering eight evolutions, the most of any Pokémon, but there's much more to it than that, as you'll soon see.
Being a true Pokémon Master means learning about more than just Eevee and its evolutions, so make sure you stop by our Pokédex to learn about every creature across all of the regions. We also have a Pokémon Go codes guide, which can help you stock up on balls and berries.
Here's everything you need to know about the Pokémon Eevee:

Eevee's evolution
Eevee is incredibly special, turning into eight different Pokémon. The first three, Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon, are from Kanto as well, and you can turn Eevee into them with a Thunder Stone, Water Stone, and Fire Stone, respectively. In generation two, Espeon and Umbreon enter the fray, and you can evolve Eevee into Espeon during the day and Umbreon at night; both of them require high friendship.
From generation four onwards, Eevee can also evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon. These two are unique, as not only can you use a Leaf Stone or Ice Stone to evolve Eevee into them, but you can also get Leafeon if you level Eevee up near a Moss Rock and Glaceon if you're next to an Ice Rock. The final eeveelution, Syleveon, debuted in generation six, and Eevee only turns into it after you level it up while it has a fairy-type move.
