'Pokemon GO' Guide: Gen 2 Eevee Evolution Tips & Tricks That Won't Get You Banned [VIDEO]
Pokemon GO has taken the world by storm, and it is showing no signs of stopping. As the hyper-popular augmented reality game heads towards its inevitable generation 2 update, many Pokemon aficionados are speculating about how evolutions would work on some of the Pokemon franchise's most popular monsters.
Generation 2 Eevee Evolutions
One particular Pokemon that has become a favorite in Pokemon GO is Eevee, a monster that is capable of evolving into different types of creatures. In the game's current iteration, Eevee is capable of evolving to Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon, due to the game's lock-in of Generation 1 monsters.
Once the Generation 2 update hits, however, players can look forward to evolving Eevee to its Gen 2 forms, Espeon and Umbreon. While very little is currently known about how players can acquire these creatures on the Pokemon GO Generation 2 update, many fans are speculating that their evolution would be based on the attributes of each monster.
Time Affects Eevee's Evolution
With Espeon and Umbreon symbolizing daytime and nighttime in previous Pokemon games, numerous fans are speculating that the Eevee evolutions for these creatures would be highly dependent on the time users choose to evolve the Pokemon.
Thus, there is a pretty good chance that players who wish to evolve their Eevees to Espeon would need to initiate the evolution of the Pokemon during the daytime. On the other hand, those who wish to acquire Umbreon would need trigger Eevee's evolution at night.
Pokemon Candies are the Key?
In the original Pokemon games, Eevee's evolution to Espeon and Umbreon were affected by the player giving the creature vitamins to gain Friendship points. Unfortunately, neither vitamins or Friendship points have been used in Pokemon GO so far. Thus, there is a pretty good chance that Niantic would utilize Pokemon Candies for Eevee's Generation 2 evolution once more.
How to Avoid Getting Banned
Considering how prolific Eevee's evolution to Espeon and Umbreon are, there is a pretty good chance that the third-party solutions would be involved in order to somehow manipulate the evolution of the Pokemon. Knowing how strict Niantic is about cheating, however, there is also a pretty good chance that Eevee' evolution would be a point of concern for the developer.
With this said, it would be best to simply follow the rules when evolving Eevee to Espeon and Umbreon. If rumors prove true, there's a good chance that their evolution requirements would be pretty simple anyway.
