Eeveelutions in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Eterna Forest’s Moss Rock turns a leveled-up Eevee into Leafeon, and Route 217’s Ice Rock does the same for Glaceon, two of BDSP’s 7 Eeveelutions. A Leaf Stone from Floaroma Meadow also works for Leafeon, but Glaceon has no stone option here.

The list

All 7 Eeveelutions in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl let you skip the hunt for single stones: the Grand Underground walls give up Leaf, Fire, Water and Thunder Stones at random.

How they evolve

How to evolve Eevee in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Each stone form takes its matching stone, so Vaporeon needs Water, Jolteon Thunder and Flareon Fire. High friendship plus a daytime level up gives Espeon, and the same at night gives Umbreon.
