Where To Find Espeon Locations in Pokemon Legends Arceus

List of Locations where you can find and catch Espeon in PLA.

Espeon is one of the many evolved forms of Eevee and is a Psychic-type Pokemon- like all of the other "Eeveelutions," Espeon has to be exposed to certain conditions to evolve into itself. Before you can get an Espeon, you will need an Eevee- Eevee can be found in Horseshoe Plains, located in the Obsidian Fieldlands. Eevee is relatively rare and is jumpy, so this will require patience. Below, we will list all requirements needed to evolve Eevee into Espeon.

  • Eevee can NOT have any Fairy type moves, or else it will evolve into a Sylveon.
  • Must evolve in the Daytime.
  • Must have max friendship, you can increase friendship by keeping Eevee in your party and using it in battle. You can check your current friendship level by speaking to Belamy near the Pokemon Pastures in Jubilife Village, once he tells you that you are "fast friends" with Eevee, you can now evolve it into Espeon the next time it levels up.
