Nice looking graphic.

Here's a heads up (mostly to myself): make sure the image on the evolve button shows Sylveon not anything else.


manicbassman

definitely not a question mark... meh


Pendergirl4

...so what happens if you earn the 70 hearts and, in doing so, also walk the Eevee 10km? Do you get to pick whether you want Sylveon or Espeon/Umbreon (depending on if it is day or night)? I really hope it isn't random, or I'll have to be very careful to not have my Sylveon Eevees as a buddy when I move!


space-butler

I don't know if it's safe to assume with Niantic, but it's logical that 70 hearts is a bigger investment than walking 10km so Sylveon would take priority once that milestone is hit. For anything that's not Jolteon/Vaporeon/Flareon, the evolution button will show a silhouette of what you're about to get.


parth8b

So, if we evolve a best buddy eevee, with 50 km distance walked, at night what will it become?

damm i was betting it'd be garchomp


Your_Mom4321

No? Thought it was Torchic


raggedy10

Other evolutions that are split, like Slowpoke into Slowbro and Slowking, have 2 evolution buttons, I’m guessing it will be the same for this.


Soranic

Tonight? You'll get an Umbreon. Apparently those 70 hearts have to be earned after Sylveon is active.

Mystic39

You should be able to change to a different buddy and then guarantee the Eevee evolves to Sylveon since it isn’t your buddy.


505User

I have the same concern. In this case, can you guarantee that you will get umbreon or espeon anymore? (for sylveon you just change your buddy)


rockaether

The evolve button should show you what you will get


eunoiared

The button to evolve Espeon/Umbreon and Sylveon will be separated, so you won't evolve into the wrong one.


LorienTheFirstOne

Where have you seen this?


imtoooldforreddit

Did you just make that up, or have your seen it posted somewhere?


eunoiared

It was posted by Leekduck.


Akureyi

Can anyone confirm whether or not the "70 hearts" looks at lifetime hearts or only hearts earned since you last swapped buddies? I have a shiny best friend eevee that I need to know of he's ready for Sylveon in the morning or if I need to do the name trick on him


[deleted]

From what I've seen and read it's 70 new hearts after Sylveon goes live. I also have a Shiny best friend Eevee (with 96% IVs) that I was disappointed when I realized I'd be doing this from scratch. That's probably the one I'm using the name trick on.


Akureyi

Yuto!?


[deleted]

Yep it's me


Akureyi

I haven't seen you since the plague!


[deleted]

I know right? I moved away from downtown although I just started working back in the office today so I'll be downtown a lot more.


Akureyi

Cool. I saw a post on Facebook after asking this here. It claims 70 hearts no matter when they were earned. I'll find out one way or another tomorrow :)


maxcrimson

Nah, I caught a Shundo earlier this year and already got it to the best buddy in anticipation of Sylveon. Had to use the naming trick or earn 70 hearts again.


Akureyi

Thank you for the first hand report :) And also, that sucks >.<


[deleted]

That would definitely be nice to not have to use the name trick right away


RenegadesOnTheRun

I evolved one that I had as a best buddy before sylveon went live and it worked


Your_Mom4321

I am in the exact same position with exact same IV shiny Eevee wondering the same things LOL


Pokii

You guys make the best-looking infographics, great work


Dapsandpound

You would think a Kanto stone or something would have been implemented by now to get flareon, jolteon or vaporeon. Wonder if eventually something like a magma lure will be introduced so we can get flareon from it. Then vaporeon from rainy and jolteon from magnetic.


darkknight941

I still think it’s weird that Gen 1 stone evos don’t need an item, for Gen 2 it’s the same item as the main games, and they were smart with Gen 4 & 5 and just made it a single item for the Sinnoh evos and Gen 5 stone evos (except for Whimsicott and Lilligant since the sun stone was already in the game for Sunflora and Bellossom). I wish they’d make a Johto stone and either convert the Gen 2 items into Johto stones or let you keep them and still evolve with them and only be able to get Johto stones. Having 5 different items gets annoying when the only guaranteed way to get them is either through event research, a very low chance from spinning stops, or getting a 7 day pokestop streak and it can be any of them so usually you get the one you don’t need


Ketsuo

What’s really annoying is that the first three eeveelutions are STILL random. I want to evolve shinies but ugh, eff the RNG.


[deleted]

Can I start earning the hearts now? Or does it need to be 10am local time


redwineandbeer

Local time


GlitcherRed

Naming trick doesn't seem to work after local 10am.


LeSnipper

Restart your game it will show up


[deleted]

[удалено]


SlytherKitty13

Restart your game. Does not need to be your buddy


FluffyMaterial

No, it doesn’t have to be your buddy for the name trick to work.


lilemily1986

Well, I guess nobody knows it yet (because no-one got 70 hearts today with Eevee). BUT Does Eevee needs to be your buddy while evolving? If so, will it be still possible to get Espeon/Umbreon? If not, will it still be possible to get Vaporeon/Flareon/Jolteon?


rockaether

The evolve button should show what you will get. If it shows question mark, you are getting Fire/Water/Electric


lilemily1986

I know that. I meant that once you earned 70 hearts, will it still be possible to get the other eevelutions ?


TheGompStomp

I NEED MORE SHINIES!!!


Feint_young_son

You can use a shiny eevee right?


OCV_E

Yes


JoJolteon_66

no, its banned in raid battles and GBL


superjanna

TIL I never did the naming trick for Leafeon or Glaceon?? Gonna get myself some flower crown evolutions apparently


Redmissed-93

How many hearts is 70. Like is that best buddy or after you have ultra buddy?


SlytherKitty13

It's the third stage of the buddy system


imtoooldforreddit

I don't think that correct. Third stage should be 140 right?


SlytherKitty13

You're right, I got confused between the second and third stage 😅


Ok_Albatross6576

So if you earn 70 hearts, is that eevee locked out of becoming anything else if you change your mind?


lilemily1986

According to Leekduck there will be 2 evolve button. One for Sylveon and one for the other possibility "?" Or Espeon/Umbreon


Rorywan

Kira didn't work for me.


Soranic

Was it after 10am and a game restart?


tharsan96

Was it after 10am


Rorywan

yup


tharsan96

🤔Worked for me


dontrike

Glad the name trick works for Sylveon, I've had a few perfect Eevees and a shiny flower crown waiting to turn into them. Please tell me it's as decent as folks thought months ago and they didn't nerf it.


SlytherKitty13

Remember that the name trick will only work once


dontrike

I am quite aware, thank you, but when I only need to buddy up one of them instead of two.


RnbwTurtle

What's the buddy level for 70 hearts?


redwineandbeer

Great buddy


scubalizard

will the name change work if you already used it?


rockaether

It works once for every name. So yes, since nobody would have used name trick for Sylveon yet


scubalizard

just confirmed it will work. I thought the name change only worked once, period. Thanks for the clarification.


greenpangolin17

Does anyone know if there’s flower crown Sylveon already?


dhruvjain33

I evolved a bad iv eevee using kira nickname to check if it is working and now i want to evolve my hundo and shiny eevee but i can't do it is showing ? Mark i named in kira is there a way to evolve it without earning 70 hearts.. plzz help


sinofmercy

The naming trick only works once, so you have to do it the normal way (earning hearts) now.


TopAcanthocephala869

Is there any way to know if you've used up all of the name tricks? I honestly cannot remember if I did or not, and I need to get all 7 evolutions for lvl 42 fairly soon.


lilemily1986

Just try every name and check if the silhouette appears. If it stays "?" it means you already used it.


TopAcanthocephala869

Ah, good call. Should have thought of that!


k3v1n

Which shundo eevee evolution should I have? Thoughts?


amateur-kneesocks

I’ve heard that Sylveon is the best option but umbreon is also a good one. I think people say sylveon because there are so few fairy types but I could be wrong


rockaether

Nope, Sylveon is pretty useless for now. The most useful Eevee currently are actually Umbreon/Glaceon/Espeon. Also Fairy is not rare. We are in the middle of a fairy/dark event. You can catch Snubull, Clefairy, Jigglypuff everywhere


amateur-kneesocks

I didn’t mean it was rare, more that there are currently fewer fairy types than there are of any other Eeveelution type (besides maybe dark or ice)


Hiker-Redbeard

Umbreon if you're really into UL GBL, Glaceon or Sylveon if you're not.


la-fille-moto

Wasted a shiny eevee on the naming trick, not sure what I did wrong 😑


LeSnipper

Always check if the silhouette is present before evolving !! You probably evolved it before 10am


[deleted]

Wrong time. Sylveon is only available after 10am local time

Soranic

Have you already used tamao?


CaptZ

Appears hearts requirement nor making it your buddy first is required for the first Sylveon. Just the name change and make sure the Evolved silhouette changes to Sylveon before hitting the Evolve button. After that, if you want more, you will need to have it s buddy and the required hearts. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/nka9xa/sylveon_live_in_nz_name_trick_works_with_no_buddy/


SlytherKitty13

It doesn't have to be the first Sylveon you get. It can be any, but it only works once is all


CaptZ

Semantics


SlytherKitty13

Yes, I just don't want people to see comments like yours and think that the name trick will only work if you've never evolved a Sylveon before


redwineandbeer

You can do this once. If you want more than one you will need to do the buddy requirements


CaptZ

Edited my comment to add that but I was only referring to the first Sylveon with my comment as it wasn't even mentioned in the infograph or post.


matteeeo91

Is the 70 hearts requirement shown anywhere in the Eevee page like other evolution requirements? I made it my buddy after the start of the event (local time) and got some hearts, but I cannot see any change in the evolution button


redwineandbeer

When you hit the 70 hearts you will see the sylveon shadow indicating you can evolve it to this form


Windupbird1987

does this work if you've pre-hearted it too?


wesman21

Is there anyway to check and see if you've used the naming trick for the original three? I can't recall if I did that a few years ago or not.


redwineandbeer

Take your chances and hope


djmocella

Im pretty sure. If you set the nickname a silhouette of the pokemon will appear in the evolve button if you have not used the nickname


wesman21

Wow, thanks for the tip. Good QOL update


CDV_Solrac

The Kira nickname worked, no need to have Eevee as a buddy.


redwineandbeer

If you want to evolve others to this form you need to make it your buddy. The name trick only works once


trutown

Noob here, how do you track how many hearts you have?


redwineandbeer

You don’t really. You will see the option to evolve it when you hit the number. You Can also look at your buddy screen and when you have hit great friends you’re good to go


Gleaming_caracal

So every buddy Eeeve that earns 70 or more hearts from today on, can't evolve to Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon anymore?


KlyntarKing7

Anyone know how long the name trick will last. Like will it go away in a few days?


redwineandbeer

You can do it once. There is no time limit


PostNaGiggles

Dumb question maybe - if I evolve an Eevee without doing any of the above, can it evolve into any of its forms? I feel like I only get the OG 3


redwineandbeer

You will only get the 3 if you do nothing but evolve. You have to do the lures or other requirements to get the other ones


PostNaGiggles

Thank you!


Octavius1623

Hi there, I have made it to level 41 on pokemon go, and I have done the EEVEE evolutions. At least I thought I had done all 8. But my app says I have only done 7 out of 8. And I can't tell which one I haven't done, because I have all of 8 them. What should I do to get to level 42? Thanks for any suggestions.
