Eevee is one of the most beloved Pokemon in Pokemon GO, and its Shiny form adds even more excitement to catching and evolving it. With multiple shiny evolutions available, players are eager to collect all the stunning Shiny versions.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Shiny Eevee evolutions in Pokemon GO, including how to get them and which ones stand out the most. Let's start!

As of 2025, there are 8 Shiny Eeveelutions in Pokemon GO. Each evolved form of Shiny Eevee has a unique color palette that differentiates it from the normal version, making them highly sought after by collectors.

The 8 Shiny Eeveelutions are:

1 Shiny Vaporeon

2 Shiny Jolteon

3 Shiny Flareon

4 Shiny Espeon

5 Shiny Umbreon

6 Shiny Leafeon

7 Shiny Glaceon

8 Shiny Sylveon

When it comes to choosing the best Shiny Eeveelution, both appearance and battle performance are considered:

Best Design: Many players favor Umbreon with its striking blue rings, giving it a sleek, mysterious look.

Best for PvP Battles: Umbreon and Sylveon are top-tier choices in Great and Ultra League battles.

Rarest in Collection: Sylveon is often considered a harder and rarer Pokemon to obtain due to its evolution requirement of 70 hearts as a Buddy Pokemon.

Overall, Shiny Umbreon is widely seen as the most desirable for both looks and utility.

If you want to get any of the Shiny Eeveelutions, you first need to have a Shiny Eevee. So let's start by looking at how to get a Shiny Eevee in Pokemon GO.

Method 1 Wild Encounters

Outside events, Eevee can still appear in the wild, but the base Shiny rate is much lower (around 1 in 500). Focus on areas with high spawn density like parks, city centers, or Pokemon nests.

Method 2 Hatching from Eggs

At certain times, Eevee is included in the 5km or 10km Egg pool. Hatching offers another chance at a Shiny Eevee, although it is not guaranteed.

Method 3 Field Research Tasks

Special research tasks sometimes reward an Eevee encounter, such as "Catch 5 Normal-type Pokemon" or event-specific missions.

Method 4 Special Research or Paid Events

Niantic frequently hosts events like Community Days, Spotlight Hours, or special themed weeks that drastically increase the spawn rate of Eevee, and often boost Shiny odds.

Method 5 Trading with Friends

If your friend has an extra Shiny Eevee, you can arrange a special trade. Remember that a Special Trade (for Shiny Pokemon) costs Stardust and is limited to one per day.

Method 6 Using iMyFone AnyTo to Simulate Movement

Spoofing tools like AnyTo allow you to "travel" to high Eevee spawn areas or active event zones without leaving your home, significantly improving your Shiny hunt efficiency.

It is easy and convenient to use, and works on both iOS and Android devices. More importantly, there are no soft bans or error 12 when using AnyTo to change GPS location in the game.

You can also use the built-in Poke Search feature in AnyTo to quickly find Eevee based on your filters, making it much easier to catch a Shiny Eevee!

After obtaining a Shiny Eevee, you can evolve it into your desired Shiny Eeveelution using the Eevee evolutions names trick, but this only works once per name.

Apart from that, you can also obtain Shiny Eevee evolutions through the following methods.

1 To Evolve Shiny Espeon/Shiny Umbreon: Time of Day Evolution

After setting your Shiny Eevee as your walking buddy and walking 10 kilometers with it, you can evolve it into either Shiny Espeon or Shiny Umbreon depending on the time of day (in-game time). Evolve it during the daytime to get Shiny Espeon, and at night to get Shiny Umbreon.

2 To Evolve Shiny Leafeon/Shiny Glaceon: Special Locations

To evolve Shiny Eevee into Shiny Leafeon or Shiny Glaceon, you must be near specific PokeStops that have a special lure module attached. Use a Mossy Lure Module to evolve into Shiny Leafeon, or a Glacial Lure Module to evolve into Shiny Glaceon. Once near the correct lure, the evolve button will indicate the desired form.

3 To Evolve Shiny Sylveon: Earning Hearts

To evolve a Shiny Eevee into Shiny Sylveon, you must first make Eevee your buddy and earn 70 hearts by completing various buddy tasks (like feeding, battling together, exploring, etc.). Once you reach 70 hearts, the evolution button will update, allowing you to evolve into Shiny Sylveon.

4 To Evolve Shiny Vaporeon/Shiny Jolteon/Shiny Flareon: Random Evolution

For evolving into Shiny Vaporeon, Shiny Jolteon, or Shiny Flareon, if you have already used the nickname trick, future evolutions are purely random. Simply use 25 Eevee candies to evolve your Shiny Eevee, and the result will be one of these three evolutions randomly assigned.

Pokemon	Type	Color Change	Max CP	Popularity
Shiny Vaporeon	Water	Pale purple	3521
Shiny Jolteon	Electric	Neon green	3265
Shiny Flareon	Fire	Deep orange	3424
Shiny Espeon	Psychic	Lime green	3583
Shiny Umbreon	Dark	Black with blue rings	2416
Shiny Leafeon	Grass	Lighter green	3328
Shiny Glaceon	Ice	Frosty lighter blue	3535
Shiny Sylveon	Fairy	Baby blue and pink ribbons	3470
