Eevee has always been the Pokemon with the almost evolutionary potential. They've stayed a fan favorite for decades thanks to their growing number of evolutions, each of which has unique stats, designs, and fighting styles that appeal to all kinds of trainers. Pokemon Legends: Arceus simply marks another game where catching every "eeveelution" has again become a possibility. Naturally, Pokefans want to know how they tin evolve their Eevees into the vii existing evolutions this time.

Here'southward the brief breakdown of how to evolve Eevee into each of its evolutions earlier we interruption it downward to the details:

  • Vaporeon (Water) - H2o Stone
  • Jolteon (Electric) - Thunder Stone
  • Flareon (Fire) - Fire Stone
  • Espeon (Psychic) - Friendship + Daytime
  • Umbreon (Dark) - Friendship + Nighttime
  • Leafeon (Grass) - Leaf Rock/Mossy Stone
  • Glaceon (Ice) - Water ice Stone/Icy Stone
  • Sylveon (Fairy) - Friendship + Fairy Move

At that place are three main ways to evolve Eevee: development stones, friendship levels, or specific locations. Their evolutions cleanly divide into one of these three categories. Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon demand evolution stones. Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon need to exist at a high enough friendship level. Leafeon and Glaceon stand out as evolutions that can either use a stone or a specific location, but it's much easier to utilise the location if you can find it.

Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon

Eevee uses development stones to evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon. It can evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon with their respective stones too, but Eevee can reach these evolutions through alternate ways.

Where to get evolution stones

Pokemon Legends: Arceus offers many ways to farm for evolution items. However, for a Water, Thunder, or Fire Rock, the easiest way to notice them is through breaking Tumblestone ores. These ores apparently accept a small risk of containing a Water, Thunder, or Fire Rock depending on the colour.

  • Fire Stone - Red rocks (for regular Tumblestones)
  • Thunder Stone - Gray rocks (for Black Tumblestones)
  • Water Rock - Blueish rocks (for Sky Tumblestones)

Some ores sparkle. These typically incorporate Stardust, but they don't necessarily mean the ore volition contain a rock. In fact, fifty-fifty non-sparkling ores tin give you lot Stardust and evolution stones. Just pause as many of them as you lot tin and the stones should come to you naturally, even if not right away.

If farming Tumblestones doesn't audio appealing, these alternate ways can also assistance find a H2o, Thunder, or Fire Stone:

  • Purchase the rock using Merit Points - All evolution stones, including the Water Stone, Thunder Rock, and Fire Stone, tin be found at the Detail Exchange in Jubilife Village. Each rock costs 1,000 Merit Points each, which is approximately 10-twenty lost satchels.
  • Treasure hunting with Ursaluna - Ursaluna can unearth evolution stones with its super sniffer. Notwithstanding, the items are random so it isn't the most reliable way to find them. You might find 1 correct abroad or search for hours and still not find ane.
  • Space-time distortions - Space-time distortions often bring evolution items along with rare Pokemon. Whether evolution items appear is completely upwards to hazard, though.
  • Clean up piles of leaves and ice - This ane is specifically for Leaf and Icy Stones. Similar with Tumblestones, these piles might take Leaf Stones and Icy Stones hidden inside.
  • Consummate Eeveelution Side Quest - Asking 52: Eevee's Evolutions only appears once you finish Request 48: The Sense of taste of Home. An old human back in Jubilife Hamlet asks for help befriending an Eevee. Afterwards that sidequest, Eevee runs away and the player has to find it. Subsequently y'all discover Eevee, the old man offers the actor a Fire Stone, Thunder Rock, or Water Rock equally a reward.

Espeon/Umbreon/Sylveon

Espeon and Umbreon evolve based on friendship level and time of day. Like in past games, Eevee evolves into Espeon during daylight hours or Umbreon during evening ones afterwards reaching a high plenty friendship level. In Bellamy's terms, "Yous and [Pokemon] seem to be fast friends. You must be quite good companions!"

Eevee evolves into Sylveon based on friendship level, too. Yet, it also needs a Fairy-type movement. Many Eevees should already have Baby Doll Eyes equally a default move. However, if you catch an Eevee without a Fairy-blazon move, just switch 1 of its moves to a Fairy-type one to evolve information technology into Sylveon. Baby Doll Optics should exist on the listing.

Make sure Eevee has a Fairy move so that it can evolve into Sylveon!

Be careful to switch out any Fairy moves if y'all programme on evolving your Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon! It won't thing if it's day or night if it has a Fairy-type move--the Sylveon evolution will override both.

How to raise friendship levels

The most tried and true method to raising friendship levels is by keeping the Pokemon in your political party and using it. This could hateful battling with the Pokemon, picking information technology to farm items, and and so on. Some fifty-fifty report positive results from taking the Pokemon out of its Pokeball to talk with information technology.

For help with your friendship progress, bank check in with Bellamy back at Jubilife Hamlet. He should exist available to check friendship levels subsequently the player completes the "Measuring Your Compatibility" request, which asks to allow Bellamy check the friendship level of ane of your Pokemon. Bellamy volition say "Yous and Eevee seem to be fast friends. You lot must be quite good companions!" when it's either about ready or already set up to evolve.

Leafeon/Glaceon

Leafeon and Glaceon can evolve with an development rock or in a specific location. In this game, Eevee can evolve using the Leaf Stone or Icy Stone. However, it's best to evolve it using 1 of the locations instead so that y'all can use the stones for other Pokemon. For example, Leaf Stone also evolves Hisuian Voltorb into Hisuian Electrode.

You lot tin find development stones through diverse methods including treasure hunting with Ursaluna, exploring infinite-time distortions, or busting open up rocks. However, the Mossy Rock and Icy Rock need more explaining than the usual development considering of where they take identify. Interestingly enough, they sit in the regions where the Diamond and Pearl Settlements besides are.

The map beneath marks the most convenient entrance to the tunnels with a crystal icon (next to the drawn blue line). Sneasler might not be able to climb ice pillars and such, but information technology can lower you safely into the cavern. Braviary can swoop into the hole also.
