Eevee is a fairly basic Normal-type Pokemon, but what makes this adorable monster so special is the fact that it can evolve into eight different Pokemon, all of which have different elemental typings. It’s also become a mascot Pokemon for the long-running franchise, even having its own video game right beside Pikachu.

One of the Pokemon that Eevee can evolve into is a Water-type Pokemon called Vaporeon. In the mainline Pokemon games, Eevee can only evolve into this creature via a Water stone. However, things are a little bit different in Pokemon GO because trainers have several methods for getting a Vaporeon in the mobile game.

Naming Trick

One of the easiest ways to get an Eevee to evolve into a Vaporeon is by changing its name before trainers use candy on it to evolve. By acquiring 25 Candy, Eevee has the chance to evolve, but unless players change the name of Eevee, it’ll randomly evolve into one of the eight ‘Eeveelutions.’

Change Eevee’s name to Rainer by going to its profile page and pressing on the little pencil icon by its current name. Once its name has been changed and the player feeds it 25 Eevee Candy, it’ll evolve into a Vaporeon. This can only be done once per evolution line, so once a player uses this trick, they will have to stick to other methods to get another Vaporeon.

If trainers want their Eevee to evolve into a different Pokemon, use these nicknames:

Linnea - Will evolve into Leafeon, a Grass-type Sparky - Will evolve into Jolteon, an Electric-type Rea - Will evolve into Glaceon, an Ice-type Pyro - Will evolve into Flareon, a Fire-type Tamao - Will evolve into Umbreon, a Dark-type Sakura- Will evolve into Espeon, a Psychic-type

The best way to find Eevee Candy in Pokemon GO is by catching more Eevee’s, hatching Eevee eggs, or setting an Eevee as a Buddy Pokemon. If a Pokemon is set as a Buddy, the player will get candy as they physically walk around in the real world.

Trading

Another way to get a Vaporeon in Pokemon GO is by trading with a friend online. As long as a player has a Pokemon that they want to exchange with their friend, they can get a Vaporeon without jumping through any hoops.

Pokemon GO is currently available on Android and iOS mobile devices.
