How to evolve Eevee into Espeon

First of all, you have to know how to evolve Eevee into Espeon. Naturally, you need an Eevee for that to happen in the first place. Depending on the game you are playing, you usually get just one Eevee. In some games, you just have to trade it. Trading is good when you have sources, so you’ll get a lot. Anyway, evolving it to Espeon isn’t as easy as using an Evolution Stone or some other item.

The trick here is that you need to level up Eevee when it has a high Friendship rating. It also has to be during the day because if it evolves at night, Umbreon will come out, but you can always cancel the evolution. That is actually a clue that you have since you now know that your Eevee will evolve into an Espeon during the day the next time it levels up.

It doesn’t matter what level it is, as long as the Friendship rating is high it will evolve upon leveling up.

How do you increase the Friendship rating?

It really varies on the games, and Generation, but we’ll give you some good idea. One way is to put Eevee in your party and walk around with it. If the game allows you to have a Pokemon follow you, then put Eevee in that position to increase the Friendship rating.

You can also have your Eevee undergo treatments such as a massage, beauty salon, and more. Using Vitamins and items on Eevee can also help increase its Friendship rating until it’s ready to evolve.

Is it worth to get an Espeon?

Now that you know how to evolve Eevee into Espeon, the question is if it is worth your time to get one? This is assuming that you have no other source to get more Eevees hence you have to decide which one to evolve your Eevee into. The answer is yes and that is Espeon is worth going out of your way when you are interested. It is considered to be the best evolution of Eevee.

Espeon Advantages

Its advantages lie in having strong Sp. Attack, SP. Defense, and Speed. Basically, Espeon excels in dealing and survival Special attacks. The Speed that it has also allows it to strike first and a lot of its moves are Priority Moves, which usually allows it to go first. Let’s not forget the fact that it is also a Psychic-type where in some games can be tricky to find a good Psychic-type.

During its debut, Generation II games still lacked good Psychic-types, but Espeon fills that hole. Then again, in the later games, there are good Psychic-types. The good thing is that Espeon can still compete with those if it is ever available in the game. We’d say that if you don’t have a keen interest in evolving Eevee, you can evolve it to Espeon so you can at least have a strong Pokemon in your possession, even if you don’t plan on using it.
