‘Pokémon Go’ Latest News & Update: Discovering the Evolution of Eevee Into Umbreon, Jolteon, Flareon, & Vaporeon

Nintendo's "Pokémon Go" recently released its massive update that features 80 new generations 2 Pokémon's plus other enhancement to the mobile game. The Gen 2 Pokémon both came from Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver, including the three evolutions for Eevee; Umbreon, Espeon, and Jolteon.

Hardcore gamers of "Pokémon Go" discovered the tricks on how to encounter Eeveelution, a term that has been named for the evolution of a Pokemon which has mysterious powers, Eevee. Along with the Pokémon franchise, Eevee has eight evolutions in all, enable to complete these evolutions players are required to hunt for certain items and pass certain conditions to achieve an evolution success.

One of the vintage methods for Eeveelution is that by changing its name. Enable to acquire Vaporeon, players must change the name Eevee to Rainer, from Eevee to Sparky for acquiring Jolteon, and Pyro to evolve from Eevee into Flareon. This method was used from one of a 1998 episode of Pokémon anime where three brothers who captured Eevee's turned it into evolved forms with certain tricks and by changing their names, according to IGN.

As for Eevee's in "Pokémon Go," there is a new method for evolving it; the same method but different names as stated by the reports of Reddit. The Pokemon mobile game will only feature two evolve forms of Eevee, the Espeon, and Umbreon. Read it carefully.

If you have caught an Eevee and wants to turn it into Umbreon and Espeon, just follow these steps. First, "Pokémon Go" players need to change Eevee's names into 'Sakura' to acquire Espeon, for Umbreon rename it as Tamao. Players do need to save first the game, make sure that the "Pokémon Go" servers do register your activity, especially the names that were changed. And then, use 25 candies to evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon. Kaboom! You acquired two new evolved Pokémon's!

By using that method "Pokémon Gold" and "Pokémon Silver" requires having time shift in order to have those two evolved forms like Espeon will only evolve during day time and Umbreon only at night time. Fortunately, in "Pokémon Go" Eeveelutions can be done at any time of the day. Congrats in advance for having Espeon and Umbreon!
