An unusually even spread gives Eevee flexibility. Sp. Def barely edges ahead. But Sp. Atk isn't far off. Tough to catch and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve. Yields 1 Sp. Def EV.
Its ability to evolve into many forms allows it to adapt smoothly and perfectly to any environment.
Its genetic code is irregular. It may mutate if it is exposed to radiation from element stones.
Eevee Weakness
GoodFighting moves hit Eevee for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Just 1 weak spot to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
From here, Eevee's line branches into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon. That's 8 possible evolutions, each with its own method. The evolved forms gain up to 200 total stats over Eevee. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Eevee (with patience) with 278 breeding partners from the Ground egg group.
Eevee hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Adamant nature with max Attack and Speed EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Adaptability adds utility.

Moves
Leveling does the heavy lifting. Eevee picks up Take Down and Double-Edge along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Dark and Fairy coverage and more, but the foundation's already strong by then.
Level-Up Moves
TM Moves
Egg Moves
Tutor Moves
Level-up moves are just the starting point for Eevee. TMs unlock Fairy and Dark coverage and more and turn a straightforward STAB kit around Double-Edge and Take Down into something with actual range.
Not a lot to pick from. Eevee gets Double-Edge and Swift for same-type damage, and Steel and Ghost coverage rounds things out. You're building around what's available rather than choosing from a deep bench.
Without breeding, Eevee misses out on Charm and Covet. That's 12 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Last Resort and Double-Edge, with Dark and Ground coverage and more rounding things out.
