Eevee is one of the most popular mons to use inPokemonhistory and it’s not difficult to see why - it’s an adaptable creature, able to evolve into many different forms and serve many roles in your teambuilding plans. Of course, with so many potential evolutions, you’ll need to know exactly how to acquire the ‘eon’ of your dreams.
As time has passed, more so-called Eeveelutions have been added to the Pokedex, requiring more complex and hard-to-find methods to acquire. Some of these methods change from game to game, so it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest!
