Evolution Tips

  • 1Set Eevee as your buddy and the evolution preview silhouette will appear for Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon. If the preview shows up, you can skip the name trick.
  • 2Day/night follows in-game time. Confirm the game screen is day or night just before evolving.
  • 3For Leafeon and Glaceon, the Lure does not need to be yours — any active Mossy/Glacial Lure nearby works.
  • 4Sylveon requires 70 hearts as buddy — typically 7–10 days of buddy interactions.
