How To Control Eevee's Evolution In Pokemon Go!

Several Pokémon Go fans have discovered a method which, according to them, guarantees players their preferred evolutionary form of Eevee, one of the series' most popular characters. The trick stems from the original Pokémon cartoon, with a reference that only a Pokémon lover deeply familiar with the television show will recognize.

Here’s how to force Eeveelution, based on several corroborating reports from Pokémon Go-playing Redditors.

Naming your Eevee — the normal-type Pokémon that, in the traditional games, evolves into one of eight Pokémon in accordance to stones, time of day and other factors — after one of the Eevee Brothers from the first season of the anime (episode 37, available on Netflix) will net you said brother’s respective Eeveelution.

The Eevee Brothers were a group of four; the youngest, Mikey, had a standard Eevee, while his older brothers each had one of the original three evolutions. Rainer had Vaporeon, Sparky had Jolteon and Pyro had Flareon. (It’s unclear whether these were the names they were assigned at birth or ones they chose for themselves based on their Pokémon-typing affinities.)

Thus, according to Reddit, if you name your Eevee Rainer, you’ll get Rainer’s Eeveelution, Vaporeon. There are several screenshots and even video that seem to confirm this method, but players should keep in mind that there’s a 33.3 percent chance of randomly getting the character you want, which isn’t huge, but isn’t tiny either.

Others have said this exclusive takes a shot at the principal attempt, which may push you facilitate into the domain of "this doesn't work." The first notice of the Reddit string likewise recommended the trap won't work twice in succession; maybe give separating a shot your Eevee Sibling motivated advancements.

Albeit a few players have affirmed that this odd, dark strategy works for them, The Pokémon Organization declined to remark on in the event that this or other anime-based mysteries exist inside Pokémon Go. Eevee require 25 treat to develop, so it's up to your watchfulness whether you need to go out on a limb to advance it into that generally tricky Vaporeon. On the off chance that more terrible reaches most exceedingly awful, you'll simply wind up with one of the other similarly awesome Eeveelutions.
