From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

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

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

Eevee has a Gigantamax form.

Eevee is the game mascot and starter Pokémon in 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 Pokémon Yellow, although Professor Oak originally intended to give it to the player.

Biology

Eevee is a mammalian, quadruped Pokémon 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 with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose. Eevee 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 is easily influenced by its environment. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by evolving. Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive Z-Move Extreme Evoboost.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, the player starts with a special Eevee known as a Partner Eevee. The Partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from the anime, which implemented similar traits starting in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. Partner Eevee has higher base stats and access to moves that normal Eevee do not. Partner Eevee is the only Pokémon capable of performing Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, Sizzly Slide, Glitzy Glow, Baddy Bad, Sappy Seed, Freezy Frost, Sparkly Swirl, and the Partner Power, Veevee Volley. The marking on the tip of a female Partner Eevee's tail is heart-shaped. Before Pokémon Sword and Shield, this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. In Pokémon Sword and Shield and later Pokémon GO updates, the unique tail pattern is present on all female Eevee as a true gender difference.

As Gigantamax Eevee, it has become larger and more fluffy. The fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds surrounding it like a circle. Due to the fur becoming fluffier and luxurious, any enemies caught in it will lose the will to fight due to being enamored by its presence. Due to Gigantamaxing, Eevee becomes even more playful and rambunctious, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.[1]

Gigantamax Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Cuddle.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Vee

In Blame it on Eevee, an Eevee was subjected to experiments by Team Rocket, which attempted to merge Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres into a single Pokémon. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of his evolved forms, namely Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon and revert, though he still requires the energies of an Evolution stone. Red eventually catches this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging Erika and gave him the nickname of Vee. When he evolved into Espeon, however, he lost his mutation ability and became unable to revert to his base form.

An Eevee appeared in The Kindest Tentacruel as one of the Pokémon in Yellow's fantasy about evolution via Evolution stone.

An Eevee appeared in The Escape, under the ownership of Karen during her childhood. It was 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.

Other appearances

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.

Eevee returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Take Down to attack foes, moving from left to right and vice-versa up to five times. It also appears as two Spirits, Eevee and Partner Eevee.

An Eevee briefly appeared in Detective Pikachu, under the ownership of Howard Clifford. It evolved into a Flareon.

Trivia

Origin

In the 2018 artbook, EVs, Motofumi Fujiwara revealed that Eevee was inspired by vague childhood memories of an unknown creature he encountered in the forest. Though it wasn't based on any distinct animal, Fujiwara mentioned that Eevee reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature.[3]

Name origin

Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.
