Eevee is one of the most popular Pokemon out there, and it’s another mascot of thePokemonfranchise alongside Pikachu. The thing that makes Eevee so popular is its sheer number of evolutions. Eevee is the only Pokemon in existence that can evolve into eight different types of Pokemon. In the firstPokemongames, there were only three basic Eeveelutions known as Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon, but newer generations introduced trainers to new evolutions for the Pokemon, which included Leafeon, Glaceon, Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon.
Pokemon SwordandShieldowners caneasily find an Eeveein the games, but evolving it takes a bit of know-how. Some of Eevee’s special evolutions don’t evolve the same way they used to in previous games, so trainers need to learn how to evolve their Eevee in thePokemon SwordandShieldgames. Luckily, this guide will show trainers exactly how they can evolve their Eevee into any of their preferred evolutions.

As already mentioned, fire-type Pokemon Flareon is one of the first three evolutions for Eevee. In order to Evolve Eevee into a Flareon, players need to give it a Fire Stone which can be found in the Wild Area around Lake of Outrage or can be earned as a reward for Digging Duo.
Vaporeon is a Water-type evolution and requires players to give Eevee a Water Stone, which can be found in the same area as the Fire Stone or earned as a reward for Digging Duo.
Jolteon is an Electric-type Pokemon and considered a strong Pokemon in terms of competitive play. All players have to do is give their Eevee a Thunder-stone to evolve it into a Jolteon. Thunder Stones can be found in the samelocations as other evolution stones.
Leafeon is a Grass-type Pokemon, and in previous games, it required players to bring their Eevee to a Moss Rock to evolve it into a Leafeon. However, inPokemon SwordandShield, all players have to do is give their Eevee a Leaf Stone to evolve it into Leafeon.
Similar to Leafeon, Glaceon required players to bring their Eevee to an Ice Rock to evolve it, but luckily,Pokemon SwordandShieldonly require players to give their Eevee an Ice Stone to evolve it into a Glaceon.
How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokemon Sword and Shield
Sylveon is a Fairy-type Pokemon, but it does not require any stone for the evolution. To evolve an Eevee into a Sylveon, players need to make sure that their Eevee knows a Fairy-type move; afterward they need to increase Eevee’s Friendship level to three hearts and level it up to evolve it into a Sylveon. However, if the Eevee does not know a Fairy-type move, then it will not evolve into a Sylveon; instead, it might evolve into an Umbreon or Espeon depending on the time of day.
Umbreon is a Dark-type Pokemon and requires similarconditions as a Sylveon to evolve. Players need to increase their Eevee’s friendship level to three hearts and evolve it during night time, but trainers need to be careful because if their Eevee knows a Fairy-type move, then it will only Evolve into a Sylveon regardless of night or day. To delete a move, players can visit the NPC at the left counter inside any Pokemon Center in the game.
Espeon is a Psychic-type Pokemon and has pretty much the same requirements as an Umbreon. Players need three-hearts in Friendship and need to evolve their Eevee during day time to get an Espeon.
