Eeveelutions in Gold & Silver

Gold & Silver count 5 Eeveelutions, with Espeon and Umbreon joining the three stone forms. Time matters here: a happy Eevee leveled in the morning or by day becomes Espeon, and one leveled at night becomes Umbreon. Bill’s gift Eevee in Goldenrod City is the easy start.
