Eevee (Japanese: イーブイ Eievui) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves into one of eight different Pokémon through various methods:
Eevee is the starter Pokémon for the main characters of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Conquest. It is also the rival's starter Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow, although Professor Oak originally intended to give it to the player.
Biology
Eevee is a mammalian, quadruped creature with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and a small black nose. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, and is mostly only found in cities and towns. However, Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that allows it to adapt to many different kinds of environments. Eventually, Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Eevee has a naive personality.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Vee
In Blame it on Eevee 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 and gave it the name Vee. When it evolved into Espeon, however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.
Yellow fantasized about Pokémon that could evolve via stone in The Kindest Tentacruel which an Eevee was one of them.
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.
Y owns an Eevee named VuiVui. When she used her in a battle against Team Flare, she evolved into a Sylveon.

In the TCG
- Main article: Eevee (TCG)
As in the games and anime, Eevee is notable in the TCG for being able to evolve into the most differently-named Pokémon cards, with its eight normal evolutions, as well as Dark forms of the Generation I evolutions and Espeon, and Light forms of the Generation I evolutions.
In the TFG
One Eevee figure has been released.
Other appearances
Eevee only appears as a random trophy.
Trophy information
As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment. So far, five evolutionary forms have been discovered and then catalogued for this unique Pokémon; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. All evolutions have special benefits.
Eevee appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Take Down to hit opponents.
Trophy information
NA: This Normal-type Pokémon is as adaptable to evolution as they come, with eight evolutions discovered thus far. If you pair that potential with its adorable features, it's no wonder Eevee is so popular! In Smash Bros., Eevee will attack a nearby opponent with Take Down. Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful.
PAL: This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with trainers. When brought out in battle, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...it's not very effective. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest.

Trivia
- In early English promotional material for Pokémon Red and Blue, Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee.
- 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.
- 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.
- Four of Eevee's evolutions evolve through abnormal means in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series (Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon).
- It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver since neither Johto nor Kanto has a Moss Rock or an Ice Rock .
- Despite Eevee being obtainable before the Pokémon League in Pokémon Black and White Versions 2, it cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after the Elite Four are defeated. This is because Twist Mountain and Pinwheel Forest are inaccessible before then.
- Eevee has the most evolutions of any non-glitch Pokémon and is the only non-glitch Pokémon which has more than three evolutions.
- Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to receive an evolution in Generation VI, though many received Mega Evolutions.
Origin
Eevee shares traits with foxes, more specifically the fennec fox, dogs and cats. It is possibly based on the folklore of Tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the Japanese raccoon dog. Eevee may also be based a cabbit, a creature based on a cat and rabbit used mainly by Japanese animators for cuteness.
Name origin
Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.
