Is there any way to choose which eeveeloution you're going to get in Pokemon Go when you evolve Eevee?

Question

I heard it was randomized, but there was also a way of choosing which one you wanted?

Comments

I don't think so. I heard you can get vaporeon when you evolve it close ocean, river etc. But I don't believe it.

Answer 1

I'm updating this as the current is outdated, because new Eeveeloutions have been added.

NOTE: You still have to give Eevee 25 Eevee candies to evolve Eevee, no matter what method you do.

If you just give it 25 candies, it will evolve into either Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon. You can name them to get a guaranteed evolution, or Mossy Lure Module guarantees that Eevee will evolve into Leafeon, and Glacial Lure Module guarantees that Eevee will evolve into Glaceon. Glacial Lure Modules and Mossy Lure Modules both cost 200 Pokecoins. If you walk 10 km with Eevee as your buddy, it will be guaranteed to evolve into Espeon, and if you evolve Eevee at night, it will evolve into Umbreon. Earning 70 hearts with Eevee as your buddy will guarantee that it evolves into Sylveon.

This is a list of all the names:

• Vaporeon: Rainer
• Jolteon: Sparky
• Flareon: Pyro
• Leafeon: Linnea
• Glaceon: Rea
• Espeon: Sakura
• Umbreon: Tamao
• Sylveon: Kira

Each name only works once per account.

Note: the Fire-, Water-, and Electric-type versions are random after evolving Eevee using 25 of its candies.
The Psychic- and Dark-type versions evolve after walking 10 km with it as your buddy (keep it as buddy when evolving).
The Grass- and Ice-type versions are Lure-based (i.e. the Mossy and Glacial Lures respectively).
The Fairy-type version is like Espeon and Umbreon, but with earning atleast 70 hearts with it as your buddy.

Answer 2

Yup, and it's by nicknaming them.

• 'Rainer' for Vaporeon
• 'Sparky' for Jolteon
• 'Pyro' for Flareon

Evolve them while they bear one of these nicknames. It's recommended to restart the game after nicknaming since the servers are still kind of shaken up, so that the name sticks.
Hope I helped!

this only works once per eevolution, or else doesn't work twice in a row for the same one

Alright thanks!

It always works for me, unless im just getting lucky

It's always worked for me too, and I don't see it say 'only once' anywhere
