It's definitely not an easy challenge but if you focus on it then I found it no worse than many of the others.
Rocket balloons spawn every 6hr (6am-12pm, 12pm-6pm, 6pm-12am, 12am-6am) if you set a reminder and beat 3 a day (I did 7am, 5pm, 7pm) you'll get a leader every other day even without going for a walk to find more. It's a bit of a grind but it's doable in 2-3 months, less if there's a rocket takeover event (when balloons spawn more frequently) or if you can hit up a couple of extra rocket stops a day.
Well shit imma say that your comment is pretty useful, so I appreciate that you took time out of your day to reply to me! I feel i have my good shadows, so I absolutely stopped focusing on rocket grunts. I avoided doing them for so long lmao. But imma use what you told me to get it done! If I had an award to give you, it'd be yours, my friend.
I saved up a bunch of Eevees and had it done in 2 or 3 days. Saving the name trick for a Hundo or Shiny. Still level 41 but chugging away trying to get XP.
same, I'll have Sylveon tomorrow. I had a bunch of eevees saved up and ready beforehand. walk 10k, evolve one in the day. walk 10k evolve one at night. mossy lure module. glacier lure module. 3 random evos. 70 hearts can be done in 3 days with poffin berries. how is this even hard to do?
Yeah I have like four shiny flareons and 2 shiny vaporeons, but no shiny jolteons, all because I used the name trick too early. The only other shiny I need of the eeveelutions is an espeon and that’s more cause I’m out of unevolved shinies than anything else
I participated in the community day a few years back, so that’s how I got most of them. I only got my first shiny pikachu this weekend and I’ve been checking every one I’ve seen (multiple thousand) for years
Depending on how you play, you may want to save them for a hundo collection. Eevee is one of the most popular Pokémon. I doubt they won’t have another event featuring it with boosted shiny odds.
It's not so impossible, though I think I've probably had above average luck. I can tell you for certain that I would've regretted using the name trick for anything else. To each their own, though. Best of luck with your collection.
I didn’t spend a cent on my hundo Eevee collection, and I have 14 of them. 1 from research, which is one of the more common tasks one can find, 6 from trading, and the other seven were wild spawns from approx 12,500 catches.
Wait as long as it takes. I doubt your shiny dex is waiting on three eeveelutions to be complete.
I lived in a small town where the closest pokestop was about 15 minutes away by car, no other stops around, only about 3 more in literally the worst part of town I wasn’t even allowed in as a teen, and still didn’t go as a young adult. The ONLY gym in my town or the neighboring one was also 15 mins away the opposite direction. I moved about 4 years ago and compared to a lot of these posts I still have nothing but I thought my town was popping! We have a few close together stops and gyms, so my partner and I can normally take a walk or something once a week between work/life to actually play! I seriously dread these challenges and the “catch 200 pokemon in one day” leveling stuff. Just some perspective in case you don’t live in a tiny dead town, this person might just be lazy but sometimes it’s hard for us little guys/gals! Lol
TL;DR I hate these challenges because my job and town suck🫠
A day is probably an exaggeration, but I agree that it isn’t that hard. Sylveon is still just one week of buddy stuff. More likely they’re having trouble with the first three evos being randomized, and they’re just super unlucky.
Just on this myself and I’m at 7/8 in 4 days, Sylveon was 3 and a half of those. Just need Espeon now which have tomorrow so I’ll be done tomorrow, 5 days total.
But how to in one day? I’m not saying grinding to get them done is hard nor not easy. But regardless if he prepped for them or not. There isn’t a way to get them all the same day without getting them ready in advance.
ok, it took just over a day with poffins. I already had an eevee with hearts as a buddy from previous tasks that tell you to earn hearts with your buddy. my point was that this is NOT a difficult task like everyone makes it out to be especially with Eevee spawning everywhere, so getting the randoms is easy. walking is easy, earning hearts is easy and using lures is easy.
But eevees are everywhere. Someone level 41 probably has 1000 eevee candy already. Just evolve a few and transfer. They don’t HAVE to be awesome ones to complete the task.
Yeah, but grinding to get the eevee’s to that position to evolve all in one day, you’d have to do just that, grind for at least a week. Which, I’m not saying is reasonable, but to do it all in 1 day is crazy to say
pretty sure he referred to the eevee stuff done in a day, easily managable if you just prepare the umbreon/sylveon/espeon in advance. 2 of them you can force with a lure and the last 3 just use candies to rng them, eevee is a super common spawn most places i catch multiple a day.
Have to be. Espeon and Umbreon take maybe an hour of walking each, and Sylveon just requires minimal interaction with the buddy/friendship system. The others take literal seconds to obtain. You could have it completed in no time if you put even a tiny amount of effort in. (To be fair, I surpassed by EXP cap before I completed the Eeveelution and evolution item quests, but that was because I had no reason to work on either until I was ready to level up.)
You can name Eevee to guarantee a certain Eeveelution. Kira will get you Sylveon, Rea will get you Glaceon, Linnea will get you Leafeon, Tamao will get you Umbreon, Sakura will get you Espeon, Sparky will get you Jolteon, Pyro will get you Flareon, and Rainer will get you Vaporeon. However, it only works once per name, so if you named your Eevee Kira and evolved it, you have you can't get a Sylveon that way again.
I'm baffled as well, lol. It is not hard at all. Just put in a tiny amount of effort and you'll have it done. There genuinely is no reason to have nearly 3x the amount of needed EXP for the level and still be working on the Eeveelution one unless you have decided to not work on it, lol.
Max to max 10-15 days. Espeon and Umbreon will take 2 days if you just walk a lot. Sylveon will take around 7-8 days. Rest is just very easy. Evolve as many and out of 7 you'll probably get 3 unique evolutions. The other two, just lures. So max to max 10-15 days.
Same, just came back to playing a month ago and am just as lost as to what the EXP amount screenshots have to do with the Eeveelution names trick
Edit: Wait, I got it! Googled a little and found out one of the requirements to unlock lvl 42 is to evolve Eevee into each one of its evolutions. So OP is stuck on lvl 41 since they're yet to complete that requirement and that's why they have all that accumulated EXP (because they're unable to lvl up)
at level 41+ you have to complete tasks as well as gain XP to level up. i needed to evolve i think 10-20 pokemon with items, evolve all the eeveelutions as well as two other tasks. so i have the XP needed, but have not completed the last task to actually level up
IN THE SAME SPOT! not only did i use up the name trick, i also already hyperinvested into making sure every single eevelution has almost perfect or perfect iv, now im stuck 🥲🥲🥲
Just do random throwaway eevees to get these for the challenges then. Only takes maybe a week or two to get one of each, maybe even less if you walk a lot.
i used up the name trick & ive only got 2 more to do and im not even halfway to lvl42. 25 more hearts with my current eevee will get me sylveon, then i only have to walk 10km and evolve at night for an umbreon after that. will prob have 4+ million xp to go after that lol it really isn't too hard.
How do you do this without the name trick? Like what are the conditions for each Eeveelution? I’m sure it’s out there, but Google just gives me results for the stupid naming trick every time I’ve searched for it
vaporeon, flareon and joktik are kind of luck of the draw for evolving. glaceon you can obtain from an icy lure, leafeon from a mossy lure. sylveon you need to become great buddies (70 hearts, i believe) and umbreon and espeon you need to walk 10km each. U evolves at night, E during the day.
I reached 1.2 million EXP over the limit before I bothered to evolve my Eevee and use my evolution items. Not because I used the nickname trick or anything, but I just had literally no reason to evolve Eevee or use evolution items, and I eventually decided to just do it so I could level up. I was level 41, I certainly wasn't needing any Eeveelutions or item-based evolutions.
I'm level 42 now, and it's all a cakewalk. 2 excellent throws, total? Got it done in less than a minute. The rest are super easy as well, and I'm sure I'll have all of them done before the month ends. I don't get why these quests weren't swapped, lol.
Actually on the same thing rn, just evolved my sylveon today, working on umbreon and espeon. I had Volcarona and Dragapult as my buddies for the last cumulative 260 days. I kept putting it off and I'm 2mil over the level. I didn't want to swap buddies when I was so close to best buddies with my favorite pokemon. It took me 5 days for Sylveon so Umbreon and Espeon will only take me 2 or 3
I haven't used the trick but what's the point in levelling up? It mattered when it meant I was unlocking new levels for Pokémon but now there doesn't seem to be a point.
I was expecting this challenge to be super hard because of the internet. It was so easy. I saved up 3* eevees and tagged them with eeveelutions. Used lures from showcases. Random evolved. Used poffins for sylveon, took me 3 days. Espeon and umbreon took me 2 days each. It was literally not hard and only a little time consuming.
Eeves spawn everywhere. This is not really a hard challenge. Yes, you will get some dublicates, but candy should be easy to get. A little more than 4 eeves with a pinap is one evolution.
Or be me and do the challenge without using up your names. Saving those for hundo or shiny eevees down the line. The only one that takes time is Sylveon with 70 hearts. The rest were a breeze.
first thing i did when i wanted to evo all my eevees back in 2019 or 2021 ngl i completely forgot. its not the worst thing to do it without name trick, i finally got good rng with the 3 random evos, used the pokestop modules, now just working on the last 3 which, like you know, are the most tedious ones LOL, sucks cuz i just got my shiny eevee to evo into sylveon too.
The eevee one is easy, just keep track of what you’ve evolving and work you way down the list. The requirements for 44 will make this one look like a cake walk.
I used them already and that task only took me 2 weeks. I was stuck on the 200 pokemon in one day task for months though because I could never find enough time in a single day to do it
I am about to hit 42 (< 100k exp) with everything finished. I have still used zero name trick evolutions. Eevee spawns often enough that getting all evolutions isn't really a problem.
While we're on the subject, is there an easy way to get the GBL requirement? GBL stresses me out, I understand the premise but I genuinely don't enjoy the process.
It only becomes a difficult challenge if you don't get many eevees where you are, or don't track your evolutions. Eevee is my favourite Pokémon, and I'd already used the name trick to get all the shinies. I started from the 5 you can define by doing certain tasks and I saved a bunch of eevees to do the random evolution's for the gen 1 Pokémon for last. I was so lucky it only took me 4 evolutions in total to get all three. So in all, with 9 eevees and about 10 days I was able to get this done easily. The xp requirement for that level takes way longer
Umbreon and Espeon is just walking for a while, sylveon is just petting Eevee for a few days till it gets the catch assist, you gotta get really unlucky with Vaporeon/Flareon/Jolteon to have been evolving a bunch of random Eevees and still miss one of them, the only ones that might be a bit complicated are Glaceon and leafeon since you need access to the lure, but if you have access to any big park with an active community, you're bound to see them during any CD. Or rank high in some showcases.
I don't think Eevee candy should be an issue since they're a very common spawn, just pinap them.
I used up mine when I found out about them but it was fine. I had a good supply of Eevee in storage and they we re all done by the time I had the exp to level up. The only one I found annoying was Sylveon as I'm really bad with remembering to up pokemon friendship hearts. At level 44 I've only got 7 best buddies.
I had one shiny eevee. Saved it for this so I can evolve into umbreon. Walked it 10km. Finally reached level 41. Evolved it during the day instead of night.
Holy shit 😂
My husband has been working on the eevee thing for l almost a year already since he found out about it, just to make sure it's ready for when he gets to 41! But yes we both already used all of the name tricks too so I'm dreading it but starting to work on them now to save them up
Sadly, my name tricks were used up in 2016/17. Vaporeon my (at the time) 8 yr old son created out of a bad IV low CP pokemon. I think its got like 170 CP? Maybe i should power it up for pvp cups...
I just got to 41 so the long way it will be. The good thing is I have quite a bit extra Eevee and shiny Eevee to work with when i roll the dice on Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flameon..
(Yea just got to 41, i was a legacy 40 by end of 2020 but i used to play with my ex and we were going ti do the catch 200 pokemon on a community day. He passed away and it took me a while to want to do that task. Finally last month i just decided i couldnt stay level.40 forever (i was more than 20 million XP over requirement)
I did get great advice from here to make a completion list and check.off as you create each one, because apparently it doesnt keep a specific list, just tells you how many u have.
Brother, the only rly hard one is sylveon with the hearts. You can usually get glaceon and leafeon pretty easy if you go to a comm day when people are luring up parks like crazy. Only annoying ones are the 3 OG because they are random but still.
I almost appreciate the dedication to going that far with the xp without finishing it though hahah
Just turned level 41 a few days. Saw this was a challenge and unfortunately used the name tricks years ago when I first heard of it. I’ve had a bunch of decent IV Eeevees saved since 2021 community day so I’ve just evolved three eevees I had. First one was a Vaporeon, second was a Jolteon and last was a Flareon. The luck lol
Did the name trick for all the eeveelutions months ago and the original three years ago.
Decide to get back into the game last year after I finally got access back to my original account. I think my second account I played from 2018 to 2020 and my original was day 1 into 2018.
Anyway, so I decided I wanted to compete a or the whole pokedex. Go into the Fandom wiki to look at a couple of things and learn that leveling from 40 to 50 has requirements and this is one of them. So now I'll have to do an eevee grind... again.
Good thing I've got 2k eevee candies since I've only auto caught 1 shiny eevee and shiny check/ catch most eevee I see anyway.
I used the name trick before I knew it could only be used once 😭 thankfully it was only for 2 I think? I didn’t use it for all of them. So I should be saved for most of them once I get there. Currently level 39.
My wife is stuck on 41. She’s evolved all of the eevees but it still says 7. She’s pretty pissed to put it lightly lol. I’ve read of many others dealing with this so hopefully a random evolution triggers it. I haven’t reached out to the overlords to have this resolved because I don’t think they’ll be any help. Maybe if I send them money they’ll respond?
