Eevee evolutionary line
The Eevee evolutionary line is one of the largest evolutionary groups of fictional species in the Pokémon media franchise. It consists of Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. Each Pokémon is a different evolution of Eevee. Eevee and its first three evolutions (Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon) debuted in the original Japanese games created by Satoshi Tajiri, showcasing stone evolution with the Water Stone, Thunder Stone, and Fire Stone, respectively. The group was also featured in an anime episode devoted to the concept of stone evolution. Espeon and Umbreon were added to the line in Pokémon Gold and Silver utilizing a new evolution mechanic revolving around the Pokémon's happiness or loyalty. All five evolutions are featured in a series of battles that the player undertakes in Ecruteak City. Each trainer is labeled as a Kimono Girl and fights with a different evolved type. This event is mirrored in an episode of the anime where the girls are all portrayed as sisters. The youngest still has an unevolved Eevee and Espeon is the only one missing from the "set". With the addition of Leafeon and Glaceon in Diamond and Pearl, the total number of Pokémon that Eevee can evolve into is brought up to seven. This also means Eevee can evolve into any of the Special types as defined in games prior to Diamond and Pearl, except for the Dragon type. Each of these evolved forms has the same average base statistics even though one may have a higher individual stat, like Attack, than the others. This means that no evolutionary form is inherently superior to another.
Eevee
Eevee (イーブイ, Ībui, Eievui in original Japanese language versions) first appeared in the Japanese games Pocket Monsters Aka (ポケットモンスター 赤, Poketto Monsutā Aka, "Pocket Monsters Red") and Pocket Monsters Midori (ポケットモンスター 緑, Poketto Monsutā Midori, "Pocket Monsters Green") on February 27, 1996.[1]
Eevee are unique Normal-type Pokémon in that there are seven different Pokémon that Eevee can evolve into. According to the Pokédex, an in-game Pokémon encyclopedia, Eevee evolve based on the environment they are in. Eevee originally had just three evolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, when it first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue. The Psychic-type Espeon, and Dark-type Umbreon were added in Gold and Silver. Two more evolutions, the Grass-type Leafeon and the Ice-type Glaceon, fill out the set in Diamond and Pearl.
Eevee has been in several Pokémon anime episodes, beginning with the first season. Later on, it is revealed that Ash Ketchum's rival, Gary Oak, owns an Eevee when they have a climactic battle near the end of season two. During the Battle Frontier series that takes place in Kanto, May, the female protagonist, comes to own an Eevee when it hatches from an egg.
Eevee are also featured extensively in three different manga and is a regular Pokémon included in various sets of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Vaporeon

Vaporeon (シャワーズ, Shawāzu, Showers in original Japanese language versions) appeared alongside Eevee and its evolutions, Jolteon and Flareon, in the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green. Vaporeon is a Water-type Pokémon that evolves from Eevee when the player uses a Water Stone.
Vaporeon's name is derived from the word vapor, the steam produced by boiling water. The -eon suffix is common to all Eevee evolutions. Its Japanese name refers to the word shower, as in a sprinkling of rain or water.
Biological characteristics
The Pokédex states that Vaporeon have gills which allow them to breathe underwater. It also says that a Vaporeon's cells are similar in structure to water molecules, and this allows it to have a unique control over the water around it. It is also able to actually melt away as a form of camouflage, making itself invisible. When a Vaporeon's fins begin to vibrate, it is a sign that rain will come within a few hours. Vaporeon's preferred habitat is the peaceful coast of a lake, where they are sometimes mistaken for mermaids.
In the video games
Vaporeon cannot be caught in the wild in any of the Pokémon games. They must be evolved from Eevee with a Water Stone. Therefore Vaporeon's availability depends directly on the availability of Eevee, and the availability of Water Stones.
Vaporeon's high Special Attack make it ideal for Water-type attacks, and its high HP gives it an unusual amount of stamina. Vaporeon is one of the few Pokémon that can learn Acid Armor, which highly increases its defense. This attack is animated by having the Pokémon fade away, becoming invisible — reminiscent of its abilities mentioned by the Pokédex.
In the Pokémon anime
Vaporeon's first appearance in the Pokémon anime was in Episode 40, The Battling Eevee Brothers!. Vaporeon is owned by one of the older brothers, named Rainer.
In Episode 185, Trouble's Brewing!, a family of sisters in Ecruteak City, like the Eevee Brothers in Episode 40, are trainers of most of the different Eevee evolutions. Sumomo uses her Vaporeon help in fight off Team Rocket, and later battles and wins against Misty's Poliwhirl. The same Vaporeon reappears in Episode 228, Espeon Not Included!, when Team Rocket tries to kidnap all five evolutions that the girls own. The caged Pokémon end up being rescued by Ash's party with help from the Espeon and its trainer.
Vaporeon have appeared in several other episodes in minor roles.
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game
EX Delta Species
The first set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game that Vaporeon appeared in was the Jungle expansion. It is obtainable as both a regular card, and as a holographic card. Vaporeon's availability is usually either uncommon or rare. In all sets except one, Vaporeon has appeared as a Water-type Pokémon. In Ex Delta Species it gets coupled with Metal as a secondary type. While it usually has a modest HP, the Vaporeon ex version exceeds the normal standards by reaching 120.
Jolteon

Jolteon (サンダース, Sandāsu, Thunders in original Japanese language versions) debuted alongside Vaporeon, Flareon, and their shared pre-evolution Eevee with the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan. Jolteon are evolved from Eevee by using a Thunder Stone. Interestingly, only one other Pokémon was able to use the Thunder Stone in the first generation, Pikachu.
Jolteon's name is derived from jolt, a sharp movement experienced when being electrically shocked. Its Japanese name refers to thunder, the sound that accompanies lightning.
Biological characteristics
According to the Pokédex, a Jolteon's fur sparks with electricity, and it is able to use its spiky fur as a weapon. Its individual cells also create small electrical charges on their own, which combined with the static electricity caused by its body can result in powerful Electric-type attacks reaching 10,000 volts. Jolteon are also described as sensitive Pokémon which charge power every time their mood changes.
In the video games
Jolteon cannot be caught in any of the Pokémon games. It must be evolved from Eevee with the use of a Thunder Stone. Therefore, Jolteon's availability depends directly on the availability of Eevee, and the availability of Thunder Stones. Jolteon has incredibly high Speed, making it the fourth fastest Pokémon, (tied with Aerodactyl, Mewtwo, and Crobat). Coupled with its high Special Attack and Special Defense, it is a quick, powerful Pokémon.
In the Pokémon anime
Jolteon's first appearance in the Pokémon anime is in Episode 40, The Battling Eevee Brothers! where it is controlled by a spiky-haired blond named Spark.
Jolteon is later featured in an episode about a Magnemite rancher, who uses the magnet Pokémon to gather electricity from thunderstorms. Entitled, Get Along, Little Pokémon!, episode 103 has the Jolteon acting as a sheep dog for the Magnemite. It uses its ability to create positive and negative charges to keep the Magnemite from wandering off.
Episode 185, Trouble's Brewing!, features a family of sisters not unlike the family of Battling Eevee Brothers. These five girls live in Ecruteak City and all but the youngest owns an Eevee evolution. Satsuki is the sister who owns a Jolteon. This same Jolteon is later captured by Team Rocket in episode 228, Espeon Not Included!. Jolteon continues to also have a few cameos throughout the anime and even in some of the movies.
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game
Jolteon, like Eevee, Vaporeon, and Flareon, first came out in the Jungle series and has been re-released in several different sets.
Flareon

Flareon (ブースター, Būsutā, Booster in original Japanese language versions) is one of seven evolved forms of the Evolution Pokémon, Eevee. First greeting the public in the Japanese games, Pokémon Red and Green, this Fire-type Pokémon has been around since the beginning.
Flareon's name is derived from flare, a sudden burst of fire that serves as a strong light source. Its Japanese name may refer to rocket boosters, which propel things by combustion of fuel. The -eon suffix is common to all the Eevee evolutions.
Biological characteristics
The Pokédex states that Flareon are able to store amazing amounts of heat in their bodies. Although their fluffy fur helps to give off excess heat by directing it along the hairs and away from the Pokémon, their body temperatures may still reach or even exceed 1,650°F (about 900°C). When they use this heat for Fire-type attacks, the fire can reach temperatures of nearly 3,100°F (about 1705°C). Flareon launch fire attacks from an internal "flame sack". When they are not in battle, it is possible to touch a Flareon without getting burnt, despite its internal heat.
In the video games
Flareon cannot be caught in any of the Pokémon games. It must be evolved from an Eevee with the use of a Fire Stone.
Flareon's highest stats is its Attack, and also has good Special Defense and Special Attack. Flareon's lowest stat is its Defense. Flareon can learn not only many Fire-type attacks, but is also able to learn Smog and Smokescreen.
In the Pokémon anime
Flareon makes its first appearance in the Pokémon anime alongside Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Eevee in Episode 40, The Battling Eevee Brothers! Flareon is owned by red-headed Pyro.
The family of Eevee trainers theme is revisited in Episode 185, Trouble's Brewing!, in which a family of five sisters are each a trainer of one type of evolution. Koume trains a Flareon which she uses to help Ash defeat Team Rocket. In a following episode, episode 228, Espeon not included!, Koume's Flareon is stolen by Team Rocket. However, her younger sister, Sakura, is able to defeat them by using her newly evolved Espeon.
Flareon appear several more times throughout the show's run.
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game
Flareon, like Jolteon and Vaporeon, was first released with the Jungle expansion.
Espeon

Espeon (エーフィ, Ēfi, Eifie in original Japanese language versions) is an evolved form of Eevee that became available with the Japanese release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Espeon are Psychic-type Pokémon that have been featured in Pokémon video games, anime, and manga.
Espeon is derived from ESP an acronym for extra-sensory perception, a branch of psychic abilities. It shares the "-eon" suffix with all other Eevee evolution.
Biological characteristics
Espeon resembles the nekomata, two-tailed demon cats found in Japanese mythology. According to information taken from the video games' fictional encyclopedias, the Pokédex, an Espeon's fur is used to sense air currents, allowing it to predict the weather, as well as the actions of its opponent in battle. Its forked tail quivers when this occurs. A red jewel rests on its head, and glows whenever Espeon uses its psychic abilities.[2]
Espeon are described as being very loyal to their Pokémon trainers once they consider him or her worthy. They are also said to develop precognitive abilities in order to protect their trainers, Espeon become enabled to see into the future to identify potential threats.[3]
In the video games
Espeon are Psychic-type Pokémon.[2] This affords a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, while also causing a weakness to Dark-type and Bug-type attacks.
While Espeon cannot be caught in any game, they first became an evolution option for Eevee in Pokémon Gold and Silver. These video games feature two mechanics which Espeon's evolution relies upon. The first is something referred to in the games as loyalty, happiness, or tameness. An Eevee can only evolve into an Espeon when this value is very high. The second requirement is that it must be during the day time. Gold and Silver introduced the concept of having certain things happen during specific times of the day. If an Eevee with a high happiness were to level up at night, it would instead evolve into an Umbreon.
The daytime requirement means that Espeon are usually only an option in games that utilize the day/night mechanic. Neither GameCube game, Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, nor the remakes of the first generation games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen had this function. The GameCube games worked around the requirement. In Pokémon Colosseum the player actually starts with both an Espeon and Umbreon, this is the only time that a Psychic- or Dark-type Pokémon is given as a starter. In the sequel, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player starts with an Eevee and is later given the option to evolve it. To make up for the lack of an internal clock, the Sun Shard item is exclusively available which can be used to evolve Eevee into Espeon. FireRed and LeafGreen make no such accommodations, so Eevee must be evolved in another game and then traded.
Espeon have very high Special Attack and Speed statistics. This makes Espeon effective "special sweepers," Pokémon that use primarily special attacks combined with a high special attack to quickly knock out the opponent. An Espeon is able to learn not only common Psychic attacks like Psybeam and Psychic but also learns health replenishing moves like Morning Sun - an indirect reference to its evolutionary requirements.
In the Pokémon anime
Espeon is first featured in episode 229, "Espeon Not Included!"[4] Its owner, Sakura, uses it in a battle against Misty's Corsola, and is defeated when Corsola uses Spike Cannon. Later in the episode, Team Rocket captures Sakura's sisters' Pokémon, each a different Eevee evolution. Sakura battles Team Rocket with Espeon, and succeeds in saving her sisters' Pokémon.
Sakura returns with her Espeon in the eighth special of Pokémon Chronicles, "The Blue Badge of Courage!"[5] She aids Misty, who has assumed the duties of Cerulean City gym leader, in making more Cascade Badges. Sakura later acquires one through facing Misty in battle, and defeating her Corsola with her Espeon.
Espeon appears again in small roles throughout the rest of the series.
In the fifth Pokémon movie, Pokémon Heroes, two thieves, Annie and Oakley, use their Espeon and Ariados to aid in their plot to capture Latios and Latias.[6]
In other media
Espeon has appeared in Neo Discovery,[7] Neo Destiny as Dark Espeon,[7] Aquapolis,[7] EX Sandstorm,[7] EX Unseen Forces as Espeon EX,[7] and EX Delta Species as a Psychic / Steel-type.[7]
The protagonist of the first storyline of the Pokémon manga, Red, received an Eevee from Erika of Celadon City. By the time Red enters the competition to become Viridian City's new gym leader, the Eevee evolves into an Espeon.
Espeon is available as a plush doll made by Tomy.[8]

Umbreon (ブラッキー, Burakkī, Blacky in original Japanese language versions) is one of the Template:Pokenum fictional species of Pokémon from the Pokémon Franchise – a series of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. Umbreon is one of two Eevee evolutions that require special conditions first featured in Pokémon Gold and Silver, the other being Espeon.
When Umbreon debuted as a Dark-type Pokémon, it was the only one in Gold and Silver to not be paired with a secondary type, compare Houndoom and Murkrow. Umbreon has the distinction of being the only Dark-type starter Pokémon, but other than that has only played very minor roles in the anime and manga.
Umbreon's name comes from the Latin word for shadow, umbra and the -eon suffix which is common to, though not exclusively shared by, all names of Eevee evolutions. Its Japanese name, Blacky, is a reference to the color of Umbreon's coat as well as its Dark-typing.
The drawing and sprite design[1] of Umbreon was created by Ken Sugimori for its 2001 release on the Game Boy Color.
Biological characteristics
One of Umbreon's most noticeable features is its yellow rings. The Pokédex states that the rings will glow when Umbreon leaps to attack, becomes excited, or when there is a full moon. Umbreon are also said to evolve as a result of love for their trainers and the moonlight, forcing one to walk during the day can also cause stress. They are described as preferring to lurk in darkness while waiting for their opponents to make the first move. If angered, they can secrete powerful poisonous sweat from their pores.
In the video games
First available in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Umbreon — along with Espeon — is an evolution of Eevee that relies on loyalty and the time of day. This Dark-type Pokémon can typically only be obtained by leveling up a very loyal Eevee at night; during the day the Eevee would instead evolve into Espeon. Umbreon is the only pure dark-type Pokémon of the second generation, meaning it is the only one of the original three which does not suffer from additional weaknesses of a second type.
Several Pokémon games don't have a night/day feature and have instead provided access to Umbreon in other ways. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, even though night and day don't occur per se, there is still an internal clock which keeps track of time. Between 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM, Eevee can evolve into Umbreon. Similarly, during the other times it will evolve into Espeon. The two GameCube games, Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness have no clocks or time to speak of, but provide other alternatives. In Pokémon Colosseum the player actually starts with an Umbreon and Espeon, the only time a Dark-type has been available as a starter Pokémon. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness the player begins with an Eevee and then can later evolve it by using the exclusive Moon Shard item (not to be confused with Moon Stone evolutionary item).
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen do not make use of internal clocks, and never provided an alternative to be able to evolve Eevee within those games. However, both Umbreon and Espeon can be traded so that a player may still use them.
Umbreon's above-average Defense, Special Defense, and HP make it a statistical tank.
In the Trading Card Game
EX Unseen Forces
There are currently ten Umbreon cards available outside of Japan:
- Neo Discovery, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type holographic card (#13)
- Neo Discovery, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type rare card (#32)
- Aquapolis, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type holographic card (#H29)
- Aquapolis, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type rare card (#41)
- Skyridge, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type holographic card (#H30)
- Skyridge, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type rare card (#32)
- EX Sandstorm, as Umbreon, a Darkness-type rare card (#24)
- EX Unseen Forces, as Umbreon ex, a Darkness-type Pokémon-ex card (#112)
- EX Delta Species, as Umbreon, a Darkness/Metal dual-type holographic card (#17)
- POP Series 5, as Umbreon "star", a Darkness-type Pokémon-* card (#17)
Umbreon's consistency in types has led to it always having the same weakness: Fighting-type Pokémon (although the Neo Discovery versions had no weakness at all). As well as that, it has always had a resistance to Psychic-type Pokémon. In fact, the only set in which Umbreon's type is not the same as in other sets is EX Delta Species, in which Umbreon is a Delta Species Pokémon and so has Metal as a secondary type. As it is also a very agile Pokémon, its Retreat Cost is always one. It also always has 70 or 80 Hit Points, and the only Umbreon card with more is Umbreon ex (pictured right), which has 110 HP.
In the manga
Umbreon, as well as many of the other Eevee evolutions, have been overlooked in the Pokémon Adventures manga. One Umbreon has been controlled by Karen of the Johto Elite Four. Another Umbreon was controlled by Greta of the Battle Arena used to fight against Emerald.

Leafeon (リーフィア, Rīfia, Leafia in original Japanese language versions) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[9] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Leafeon in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[10]
Leafeon's name is derived from the word leaf, and -eon, a suffix which is shared by all names of Eevee evolutions.
Biological characteristics
Leafeon is described, like many Grass-type Pokémon, as being able to photosynthesize. As a result, it is always surrounded by fresh air.[11]
In the video games
Leafeon made its first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS, alongside many other Pokémon.
Leafeon can be evolved from Eevee by leveling it up in front of the Moss Rock, a specific location in the Eterna Forest area of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Leafeon's Leaf Guard ability, a new ability introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, prevents all status conditions that could be inflicted on Leafeon when the weather condition is sunny. This ability, however, can't cure status conditions already inflicted on Leafeon prior to changing the weather condition to sunny.
Leafeon have exceptional Attack, incredibly high Defense, and an above average Speed stat, though their Special stats and HP are sub-par. Leafeon are one of the few Pokémon that learn Leaf Blade, a move previously exclusive to Grovyle and Sceptile.

Glaceon (グレイシア, Gureishia, Glacia in original Japanese language versions) is one of the Template:Pokenum fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[12] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Glaceon in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[10]
Glaceon's name is derived from the word "glacier", an extended mass of ice, which itself comes from the Latin glacia, meaning ice, and -eon, a suffix which is shared by all of the Eevee evolutions' English names.
Biological characteristics
Glaceon resembles a light blue Arctic fox with a blue Sherpa cap on its head. Its neck, feet, tail tip, back tip, cap tips, and the inner part of its ears have the color of dark, greyish-blue. It falls into the height and weight range of the gray wolf. It is generally more feline than the other Eevee evolutions, a quality it seems to share with Espeon. It has pale Ice-blue eyes which are larger than the other Eevee evolutions. Being an ice-type, it prefers cold climates, and as a protective measure it freezes its fur completely. This freezing causes the hair to resemble "ice needles" (not unlike Jolteon)[13].
In the video games
Glaceon made its first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS, alongside many other Pokémon.
Glaceon can be evolved from Eevee by leveling it up in front of the Ice Rock, which is found north of a house in the northeastern corner of the snowy path in Route 217. It has a very high Special Attack and Defense but its speed is abysmal. Its Special Attack stat, coupled with Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB), potentially gives it the most damaging Ice-type attacks in the game.
Glaceon's Pokémon ability, Snow Cloak, which was introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, enhances its evasion while the weather condition Hail is in effect.
