Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon, holds a special place in the hearts of trainers, and its appearance in Pokémon Sleep is no different. Its ability to evolve into multiple forms makes it a highly sought-after companion, each offering unique skills and strengths tailored to different sleep styles and team compositions. However, the evolution process in Pokémon Sleep differs from the main series games, relying on Sleep EXP, friendship levels, and evolution items. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough to help you navigate these mechanics and obtain your desired Eeveelution.
Choosing which Eeveelution to aim for depends on your play style and the needs of your research team. Do you need a strong ingredient gatherer? Or perhaps a skill specialist? Each Eeveelution excels in different areas. Understanding these strengths will significantly impact your sleep research efficiency. Furthermore, the method to trigger each evolution is unique, presenting its own set of challenges and requiring careful planning and resource management.
Let's delve into the steps required to successfully evolve your Eevee in Pokémon Sleep and unlock the potential of this versatile Pokémon.
Step 1: Locating Your Eevee
Before you can even begin thinking about evolution, you need to ensure you have an Eevee in your Pokémon Box. To do this, navigate to the main menu. Tap the Pokémon icon located at the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will take you to your list of Pokémon. If you've befriended an Eevee during your sleep research, it will be listed here. Remember that the Eevee must be in your current team or box for it to be eligible for evolution.
Step 2: Accessing the Pokémon Details Screen
Once you've located your Eevee, tap on its icon to open its detailed information screen. This screen displays vital stats, including its current level, skills, ingredient finds, and, most importantly, its friendship level (measured in Sleep Points, or SP). Pay close attention to the 'Ready to Evolve?' tag, as this will indicate if your Eevee meets the basic requirements for evolution. However, this only signals one part of the equation. It does not guarantee a specific evolution, and further requirements need to be met.
Step 3: Evolving into Vaporeon
To evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, the Water-type evolution, you will need a Water Stone and 80 Eevee Candies. You acquire Eevee Candies by encountering Eevee during sleep research, or using universal candies. The Water Stone can be obtained as a rare reward from sleep research or purchased from the in-game shop using Sleep Points. Ensure you have both items before attempting to evolve. Access the evolution menu by pressing the 'Evolve' button, and select Vaporeon when prompted. Remember, once you choose an evolution, it cannot be reversed.
Step 4: Evolving into Jolteon
For Jolteon, the Electric-type evolution, the process is similar to Vaporeon. You will need a Thunder Stone and 80 Eevee Candies. Just like the Water Stone, the Thunder Stone can be found through sleep research rewards or purchased from the in-game shop. Double-check that you have the required number of candies and the stone before committing to the evolution. Once ready, navigate to the evolution menu and select Jolteon.
Step 5: Evolving into Flareon
To obtain Flareon, the Fire-type evolution, you’ll need a Fire Stone and 80 Eevee Candies. The Fire Stone, similarly, is acquired through sleep research or the in-game shop. The process is identical to the previous evolutions: secure the necessary items, access the evolution menu, and select Flareon. Be mindful of your resources, as these stones are finite and require strategic planning to acquire.
Step 6: Espeon and Umbreon Evolution – The Friendship Factor
Espeon and Umbreon's evolution methods are different from the previous three, and it is not yet certain how to acquire them in Pokémon Sleep using Friendship, as the main series games require. Currently, these are not evolvable in Pokémon Sleep. This may change in a future update to the game, but this guide will be updated accordingly.
Step 7: Glaceon and Leafeon
Glaceon and Leafeon's evolution methods are tied to specific locations in the main series Pokémon games. Currently, these are not evolvable in Pokémon Sleep. This may change in a future update to the game, but this guide will be updated accordingly.
Step 8: Sylveon Evolution – The Fairy-Type Enigma
Sylveon's evolution in the main series depends on knowing a Fairy-type move and high friendship. The method for obtaining Sylveon in Pokémon Sleep is currently not possible. Currently, these are not evolvable in Pokémon Sleep. This may change in a future update to the game, but this guide will be updated accordingly.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One common mistake is evolving an Eevee before considering its subskills and nature. An Eevee with beneficial subskills for ingredient finding might be better suited for a Vaporeon evolution. Always evaluate your Eevee's potential before evolving. Another mistake is using your precious evolution stones prematurely. Make sure you have a good strategy and know what you want before committing.

Conclusion
Evolving Eevee in Pokémon Sleep is a rewarding process that requires careful planning and resource management. Remember to consider your team's needs and evaluate your Eevee's potential before making your choice. While some evolutions like Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, Leafeon and Sylveon are not yet available, the opportunity to obtain Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon offers significant advantages to your sleep research team. Good luck, and happy sleeping!
