Overview

Eevee is a small Normal-type Pokémon with a foxlike face, long ears and a prominent fur collar. Its most distinctive game feature is the range of different evolution paths available across the series. That flexibility turns one familiar companion design into a choice about environment, resources and the particular evolved form a player wants to raise.

The original games offer fewer branches than later generations, and each transformation's requirements should be identified by game. Partner Eevee in Let's Go, Eevee! has a special role that does not make every captured Eevee identical. Pokédex accounts of unstable genetics provide an in-world explanation, while mechanics and adaptation stories remain distinct sources of information.

Read the open encyclopedia overview

Eevee ( ), known in Japan as Eievui (Japanese: イーブイ, Hepburn: Ībui), is a Pokémon species in the Pokémon franchise. Created by Satoshi Tajiri and designed by Motofumi Fujiwara, it first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue. It later appeared in a variety of merchandise, spin-off titles, and both animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. It is also the game mascot and starter Pokémon for Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!

Known as the "Evolution Pokémon" in the games and the anime, Eevee has an unstable genetic code, which allows it to evolve into one of eight different Pokémon, known as Eeveelutions, depending on the situation. The first three of these evolutions, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, were introduced alongside Eevee in Pokémon Red and Blue. Five more evolutions have since been introduced in Pokémon games: Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon. Eevee is one of the most popular Pokémon among fans, due to its character design and ability to evolve into many forms with different Pokémon types.
