Pokémon Legends: Z-A Eevee and Eeveelution Guide

This is a rare Pokémon, but there are a few reliable places to find it as you progress through the game.

Early Game: Lumiose City Rooftops

If you’re lucky, you can encounter one very early in your adventure. It has a rare chance to spawn on the rooftops in the southern part of Lumiose City. A known location is the top of a large, triple-level scaffolding structure near Bleu Sector 7.

• Level: Low
• Spawn Rate: Very Low
• Important Note: This is not a guaranteed spawn. If you fail to catch it, it may disappear. You can try resting on a bench to pass time and reset the area’s spawns, but there is no guarantee it will reappear quickly.

Mid- to Late-Game: Wild Zone 19

For a guaranteed encounter, your best bet is to head to Wild Zone 19. This area, located in the northeastern corner of the map, becomes accessible once you have made significant progress in the main story.

• Level: Approximately 48-50
• Spawn Rate: Guaranteed. At least one will spawn in this zone during each day/night cycle.
• Tip: This area often has thorny vines that can block your path or your Poké Ball. Use a Pokémon with a Fire-type move to clear these obstacles before attempting a capture.

Post-Game: Wild Zone 20

After completing the main story, you will unlock Wild Zone 20. While you won’t find a basic one here, you will have a random chance to encounter Alpha versions of its evolved forms (Eeveelutions). This is a great way to catch powerful, high-level versions of Pokémon like Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon.

Tips for Catching Eevee

Eevee can be skittish and may run away if it spots you. Use these tips to increase your chances of a successful capture:

• Use Stealth: Crouch and use tall grass to sneak up on it without being seen.
• Use Better Poké Balls: Especially for the higher-level ones in Wild Zone 19, use Ultra Balls or equivalent high-quality Poké Balls.
• Engage in Battle: If sneaking fails, be prepared for a battle. Weaken Eevee with moves that won’t knock it out, and consider inflicting a status condition like Sleep or Paralysis to make it easier to catch.

How to Evolve into All Eeveelutions

Once you have one (or several), you can evolve it into one of eight different forms using specific methods.

Stone Evolutions

These evolutions are the most straightforward. Simply use the corresponding evolutionary stone on your Eevee at any level.

• Flareon (Fire-type): Use a Fire Stone.
• Vaporeon (Water-type): Use a Water Stone.
• Jolteon (Electric-type): Use a Thunder Stone.
• Leafeon (Grass-type): Use a Leaf Stone.
• Glaceon (Ice-type): Use an Ice Stone.

Friendship and Time-Based Evolutions

These evolutions depend on your Eevee’s friendship level and the time of day. You can increase friendship by battling with your Eevee, feeding it, and keeping it in your party.

• Espeon (Psychic-type): Evolve with a high friendship level during the day.
• Umbreon (Dark-type): Evolve with a high friendship level at night.

Important: Make sure your Eevee does not know a Fairy-type move when attempting these evolutions, or you might get a Sylveon instead.

Friendship and Move-Based Evolution

This evolution also requires a high friendship level but is tied to a specific move type.

• Sylveon (Fairy-type): Evolve an Eevee with a high friendship level after it has learned at least one Fairy-type move. Eevee can learn Fairy-type moves like Baby-Doll Eyes naturally as it levels up.

By collecting multiples and using these specific methods, you can build a versatile team and complete one of the most beloved evolutionary lines in the Pokémon world. Good luck, trainer!
