'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
The Explorers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. One day, [[Amethio]] approached Liko at Indigo Academy's dormitories and, while under the guise of a representative of Diana, lied about being entasked to pick up the pendant in order to return it to her grandmother. Feeling something was amiss, Liko attempted to escape from him and his cohorts, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], but ended up cornered in a rooftop until [[Friede]] swooped in at the right time and engaged Amethio in a battle. Upon witnessing the collateral damage the battle was causing, Liko tried to run away and almost got hit by a stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} if not by her pendant suddenly generating an energy field in order to shield her, which Friede used as an opening to escape with her to the [[Brave Olivine]]. The Explorers, however, did not give up and [[HZ002|followed them to the airship]], even amidst a vicious thunderstorm. There, Friede and Amethio clashed again, albeit briefly, as this time, Liko stepped in, having her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} unleash a {{m|Leafage}} powerful enough to break the barrier around the battlefield and expose everyone to the unrelenting weather. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} as a hostage.
 
[[File:Explorers Admins.png|250px|thumb|Gibeon communicating with Explorers leaders after Amethio's mission in [[Kanto]]]]
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods:
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Amethio battled against Friede once again; this time, however, the {{pkmn|Professor}} was just distracting him to allow Liko to find Sprigatito in the warehouse where they were hiding. While this was happening, Zirc managed to plant a tracker on Brave Olivine's hull. This allowed for the Explorers to follow the ship all the way to [[Roy's hometown|Roy's island]] via submarine, where both parties clashed once more in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'' and ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''. As Liko's Sprigatito and [[Roy]]'s soon-to-be {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} were being overwhelmed by [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], the girl's pendant synced with the boy's Ancient Poké Ball, which finally opened up. From the artifact, emerged a mighty [[Black Rayquaza]], who indiscriminately rained devastation all over the the beach with a singular {{m|Draco Meteor}}, forcing the Explorers to retreat. Later, during a meeting with the other Explorers's higher-ups, [[Gibeon]], the organization's leader, removed Amethio from the mission of collecting the pendant and assigned it to [[Spinel]]. Afterwards, Amethio communicated to Zirc and Onia that he was going to pursue the Black Rayquaza from now on, believing its connection with the pendant to hold the key to the mystery behind it.
* Since [[Generation I]]:
[[File:Spinel Beheeyem Teleport.png|left|250px|thumb|Spinel confronting Friede in [[Paldea]]]]
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', it was revealed that Spinel was spying on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] during their time in [[Paldea]] in order to learn more about them. The knowledge he acquired is put to use in the following episodes, as he commences his attack on them. First, in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', he positioned his fleet of {{p|Magneton}} around the Brave Olivine in order to mess with the electronics of the ship, rendering it powerless during a system reboot.
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* Since [[Generation II]], except in '''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|<span style="color:#FF7327;">FR</span><span style="color:#00DD00;">LG</span>]]''', '''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|<span style="color:#F5DA26">P</span><span style="color:#D4924B">E</span>]]''', and '''[[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|<span style="color:#44BAE5">BD</span><span style="color:#DA7D99">SP</span>]]''':
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Espeon}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|daytime]], except in areas with a Moss Rock or Ice Rock or while knowing a Fairy-type move.
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high friendship during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|nighttime]], except in areas with a Moss Rock or Ice Rock or while knowing a Fairy-type move.
*** In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a [[Sun Shard]] or a [[Moon Shard]] is instead needed alongside a high friendship level to trigger the evolution into Espeon or Umbreon, respectively.
* Since [[Generation IV]], except in '''[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|<span style="color:#B69E00;">HG</span><span style="color:#7D7D92;">SS</span>]]''', '''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|<span style="color:#F5DA26">P</span><span style="color:#D4924B">E</span>]]''', and '''[[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|<span style="color:#44BAE5">BD</span><span style="color:#DA7D99">SP</span>]]''':
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near near a [[Moss Rock]]<sup>{{gen|IV}}–{{gen|VII}}</sup> or when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]<sup>{{gen|VIII}}</sup>.
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near near a [[Ice Rock]]<sup>{{gen|IV}}–{{gen|VII}}</sup> or when exposed to a [[Ice Stone]]<sup>{{gen|VIII}}</sup>.
*** In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], both methods are doable to evolve Eevee into Leafeon or Glaceon.
* Since [[Generation VI]], except in '''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|<span style="color:#F5DA26">P</span><span style="color:#D4924B">E</span>]]''' and '''[[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|<span style="color:#44BAE5">BD</span><span style="color:#DA7D99">SP</span>]]''':
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and having at least two levels of [[Affection]]<sup>{{gen|VI}}–{{gen|VII}}</sup>, or high friendship<sup>{{gen|VIII}}</sup>, except in areas with a Moss Rock or Ice Rock.
 
Eevee has a [[Gigantamax]] form. Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.
 
Eevee is the [[game mascot]] and [[first partner Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], as well as for the main characters of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is the starting Pokémon and first Pokémon employee of the player in [[Pokémon Café Mix]]. It is also the [[rival]]'s starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

Recurring supporting characters and rivals

Voice directors

Official translation and adaptation

In the games

No core series games have been localized to Brazilian Portuguese, but some side games have, namely Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE.

In the anime

The Brazilian dub of the anime has a lot of history in regards to the translation and adaptation of English nomenclature.

Early on, the translations used in the anime were very disorganized and seemingly weren't catalogued in any way, sometimes varying between or even in the very same episode. Major examples of this can be seen in the moves Swift and Double Team, both of which have been used in the anime since the original series and have a long list of adaptations used in the anime. Even Quick Attack, present in Pikachu's moveset since A Exibição do Choque Elétrico, has been referred to as names other than Ataque Rápido (the direct translation of its English name), such as Supervelocidade and Hipervelocidade ("Super Speed" and "Hyper Speed", respectively).

When Abilities came to be, things weren't any better: Swift Swim was somehow translated to Salamandra Aquática ("Aquatic Salamander") in its debut episode, and Blaze's name was mixed with Blaze Kick's when it debuted in Mais Uma Vez Cambaleando.

Between 2004 and 2008, the PokéPlus fansite reached out to Centauro (the studio behind the Brazilian dub back then) and became involved with official Pokémon media and products, offering consultancy and having an active part on the adaptation of English terms (not only of moves and Abilities, but also items and episode titles) into something the Brazilian audience could resonate with, as revealed in a tweet by prior site coordinator LeeGusta. Two moves have localized names used to this day that can be officially traced back to this fan intervention: Follow Me, known as Isca-viva; and, most popularly, Volt Tackle, known as Investida Trovão.

After this, a notable change regarding the way the Brazilian dub tackled translations could be seen starting around the middle point of the ninth season and really taking off in the tenth season. Localized names of moves that were commonly used in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl became streamlined: for example, Swift was always Estrela Cadente, and Double Team was always Multiplicar. However, other moves, such as Iron Head and Whirlwind, and Abilities apparently didn't receive the same treatment, with even Blaze, a major driving force in Ash's Infernape's development, being referred to by four different names throughout the series, none of which matching the current one.

The most recent major change in regards to translation and adaptation of terms in the anime came during Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Starting in the sixteenth season, the glossary of moves and similars used in the anime was slowly replaced by the one used in the TCG.[citation needed] With this, even staples in the Brazilian dub, such as Water Gun and Hydro Pump, had their names altered: Hydro Pump went from Hidro Bomba to Jato d'Água, which was the same name Water Gun was known as in previous series. Subsequently, it too had to change, becoming known in Brazil as Revólver d'Água.

Translation of names in the Brazilian dub

Humans

In early series, personal names were rarely translated. The biggest examples of characters whose names differ between English and Portuguese are Gary Oak and Samuel Oak, whom are known in Brazil as Gary Carvalho and Samuel Carvalho.

In Pokémon the Series: XY, characters began to have their names slightly adapted, probably to facilitate pronunciation and promote better understanding from the audience. For example, Clemont was known as Clément, Professor Sycamore was known as Professor Sicômoro, and Valerie was known as Valéria. For unknown reasons, Valerie retained her English name during XYZ.

It was with Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon that things really changed. Of all new main characters, only Kiawe retained his English name. Even side characters, like Oluolu and Tupp, had their names localized, but kept a similar structure and the same number of syllables.

Pokémon

Much like in Spanish, Pokémon retain their English names in both the Brazilian and Portuguese media.

Notably, some Pokémon have had their names translated throughout the course of the anime:

Fábio Lucindo, Ash's first voice actor, has stated in an interview that, in early stages of the dub, Pokémon used to have translated names.[citation needed] The reason why it was scrapped is currently unknown.

Cities

Genders in the Brazilian dub

Unlike English, the Portuguese language has male and female variations for articles, adjectives, and nouns. Thus, it becomes a necessity to know the gender of a subject to use words that better suit it.

In early episodes of the anime, when gender wasn't even introduced in the games yet, Pokémon were usually gendered by whatever it was based on. Beedrill and Butterfree, for example, were constantly referred to as females in O Desafio do Samurai, as they are based on a bee and a butterfly, both of which are female nouns in Portuguese. The Butterfree in question was Ash's, confirmed male in a future episode and referred to as male prior to evolving.

While it is unknown when this truly started, the voice actor for Goh and previous voice director for Pokémon Jornadas: A Série, Renan Vidal, has confirmed that the studio behind the Brazilian dub receives a list containing the genders (male, female, or gender unknown) for every revelant Pokémon in a said episode directly from The Pokémon Company International.[1] This piece of information was revealed shortly after the release of Um teste no paraíso! on Brazilian television.

The following has been confirmed through the Brazilian dub:

"Depois de percorrer um longo caminho, a Vanillite se apaixonou à primeira vista por uma Frogadier calma..."

In the manga

When Pokémon Adventures began to be localized into Brazilian Portuguese in 2014, The Pokémon Company International sent to the editor Bruno Zago a list with the translations of all moves that appeared in that chapter.[2] While the team behind the localization didn't adapt anything from that list, they were responsible for the change that happened with the move Razor Leaf, as it became officially listed as Folha Navalha instead of Folha Gilete (which contains a brand name).

In the TCG

Explorers

The Explorers debuted in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One). One day, Amethio approached Liko at Indigo Academy's dormitories and, while under the guise of a representative of Diana, lied about being entasked to pick up the pendant in order to return it to her grandmother. Feeling something was amiss, Liko attempted to escape from him and his cohorts, Zirc and Onia, but ended up cornered in a rooftop until Friede swooped in at the right time and engaged Amethio in a battle. Upon witnessing the collateral damage the battle was causing, Liko tried to run away and almost got hit by a stray Psycho Cut if not by her pendant suddenly generating an energy field in order to shield her, which Friede used as an opening to escape with her to the Brave Olivine. The Explorers, however, did not give up and followed them to the airship, even amidst a vicious thunderstorm. There, Friede and Amethio clashed again, albeit briefly, as this time, Liko stepped in, having her Sprigatito unleash a Leafage powerful enough to break the barrier around the battlefield and expose everyone to the unrelenting weather. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking the Grass Cat Pokémon as a hostage.

Gibeon communicating with Explorers leaders after Amethio's mission in Kanto

In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, Amethio battled against Friede once again; this time, however, the Professor was just distracting him to allow Liko to find Sprigatito in the warehouse where they were hiding. While this was happening, Zirc managed to plant a tracker on Brave Olivine's hull. This allowed for the Explorers to follow the ship all the way to Roy's island via submarine, where both parties clashed once more in Found You, Fuecoco! and The Ancient Poké Ball. As Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's soon-to-be Fuecoco were being overwhelmed by Amethio's Ceruledge, the girl's pendant synced with the boy's Ancient Poké Ball, which finally opened up. From the artifact, emerged a mighty Black Rayquaza, who indiscriminately rained devastation all over the the beach with a singular Draco Meteor, forcing the Explorers to retreat. Later, during a meeting with the other Explorers's higher-ups, Gibeon, the organization's leader, removed Amethio from the mission of collecting the pendant and assigned it to Spinel. Afterwards, Amethio communicated to Zirc and Onia that he was going to pursue the Black Rayquaza from now on, believing its connection with the pendant to hold the key to the mystery behind it.
