Eevee (Japanese: イーブイ Eievui) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves into one of seven different Pokémon through various methods:

• Vaporeon when exposed to a Water Stone.
• Jolteon when exposed to a Thunderstone.
• Flareon when exposed to a Fire Stone.
• Espeon when leveled up with high friendship during the daytime, including morning (Generation II onward, excludes areas with a Moss or Ice Rock).
• Umbreon when leveled up with high friendship during the nighttime (Generation II onward, excludes areas with a Moss or Ice Rock).
• Leafeon when leveled up near a Moss Rock (Generation IV onward).
• Glaceon when leveled up near an Ice Rock (Generation IV onward).

Eevee is the starter Pokémon for the main character of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Conquest. It is also the starter Pokémon for the rival in Pokémon Yellow, although Professor Oak originally intended to give it to the player.

Biology

Physiology

Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a large furry collar that is also cream-colored. It has four short, feline-like legs with three small toes on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of rabbits, Miacids, foxes, dogs, and cats.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Most of Eevee's offensive moves are Normal-type attacks such as Tackle and Quick Attack, but it can also bite its opponents and use Shadow Ball. However, it is unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other Normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as Helping Hand and Wish. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn Trump Card. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon.

Behavior

Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks, but are usually affectionate, loyal, and energetic Pokémon.

Habitat

File:Urban.gif

Urban Pokémon

Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in Kanto, but has been seen in Johto and Sinnoh.

Later in the series, another Eevee named Lu appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Vee

An Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by Team Rocket, in their tests to attempt merging Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres into a single Pokémon. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon and revert, though it still requires the energies of an Evolutionary Stone. Red eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging Erika. When it evolved into Espeon, however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of Karen, during her childhood as one of the children captured by the Masked Man. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her Umbreon, which she used to fight Green.

Trivia

• In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee. This in turn is a shortening of "evolution".
• The fanmade term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, Eeveelutions, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for Pokémon Stadium 2, followed by a TCG Theme Deck.
• In Pokémon Ranger, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was changed in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
• Eevee's name is a palindrome; it shares this distinction with Girafarig, Ho-Oh and Alomomola.
• Eevee and Tyrogue are the only Pokémon that can evolve into more than two Pokémon, if Wormadam's alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
  • The Eevee evolutionary family also has the most evolutionary relatives out of any other Pokémon.
• Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two non-Hidden Abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one non-Hidden Ability. The other two are Trapinch and Sneasel.
• Despite the fact that May, Gary and Sakura each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until Last Call — First Round! when Ursula evolved her two Eevee into Flareon and Vaporeon during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
• During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of other branched evolutions in Generation II, its distinction is the number of Pokémon which it can evolve into.
• Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is Azurill.
• Eevee and Feebas are the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the main series. Feebas can evolve into Milotic when leveled up with maximum Beauty or when traded while holding the Prism Scale; Eevee can evolve into Espeon or Umbreon when leveled up with maximum friendship during the day or night, respectively, or via Sun Shard or Moon Shard, respectively.
  • However, some Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, including four of Eevee's evolutions.
• It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver since the region has neither an Ice nor a Moss Rock.
• Eevee is the only starter Pokémon of a main series game (Yellow) to not be part of a three-stage evolutionary family.

Origin

Eevee shares traits with foxes, more specifically the Fennec fox, dogs and cats. It is possibly based on the folklore of Tanuki, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the Japanese raccoon dog. It may also be based on Miacoidea, an extinct paraphyletic superfamily that has been traditionally divided into two families of carnivores.

It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the fox's ability to adapt to extreme environments, like the desert fox and the arctic fox.

Name origin

Eevee is a corruption of Eievui.

Eievui is the pronunciation of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.
