To guarantee Espeon in Pokémon GO, you must evolve an Eevee during the daytime after fulfilling specific walking requirements as your Buddy Pokémon.
Guaranteeing Espeon in Pokémon GO
Evolving Espeon consistently in Pokémon GO relies on a unique method tied to your Buddy Pokémon system and the time of day within the game. This ensures you obtain Espeon and not another Eevee evolution.
Step-by-Step Guide to Evolve Espeon
Follow these precise steps to guarantee your Eevee evolves into Espeon:
- Select Your Eevee: Choose the Eevee you intend to evolve. It's wise to pick one with good stats if you plan to use it in battles.
- Set as Buddy: Designate the chosen Eevee as your active Buddy Pokémon. This is a critical first step.
- Walk 10 km (and Earn Candies): Walk a minimum of 10 kilometers with this Eevee as your Buddy. During this walk, you will naturally earn Eevee Candies (at least two are required for the evolution to be possible, which will be earned by completing the 10 km).
- Progress Check: You can monitor your distance walked with your Buddy on the Buddy screen.
- Keep as Active Buddy: It is essential that the Eevee remains your active Buddy Pokémon at the moment you initiate the evolution. If you switch Buddies, you will lose progress towards Espeon/Umbreon with that specific Eevee and would need to re-meet the walking requirement if you switch back.
- Evolve During Daytime: Once you have walked the required 10 km and ensured Eevee is still your Buddy, evolve it during daytime.
- Identifying Daytime: The in-game map visually reflects the current time of day. If the sky in your game is bright and sunny, it's daytime. Evolving during the in-game nighttime using the same method will result in Umbreon instead.
By meticulously following these steps, your Eevee will evolve into Espeon, ensuring you get the desired Psychic-type evolution.
