Eevee evolution trick: How to transform Eevee into Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon in Pokemon Go

The latest mobile game sweeping the nation is none other than Niantic's "Pokémon GO." An augmented reality game, "Pokémon GO" allows players to live their childhood dream of actually catching different Pokémon and becoming Pokémon masters. Recently, word has been going around about a certain trick users can employ in order to evolve Eevee into its three variants as seen in the "Pokémon" cartoon.

Eevee is a four-legged Pokémon with long, pointed ears, a furry neck, and a fox-like tail. In the cartoon, Eevee can be evolved into one of three Pokémon variants: Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon. Vaporeon is the water-type Eevee, Flareon is the fire-type Eevee, and Jolteon is the lightning-type Eevee.

In order to have all three variants, players must catch three Eevees. Once an Eevee has been evolved into one of the three types, it can no longer transform into a different type, which is why a minimum of three Eevees are required. Players can then proceed to name each Eevee after the Eevee brothers from the cartoon.

To transform an Eevee to Vaporeon, players must name the Pokémon Rainer. For Flareon, the name Pyro must be used. And finally, players must name the creature Sparky to evolve it into a Jolteon. It is important to remember that proper capitalization and spelling should be observed, in order for the trick to take effect.

To name the Pokémon, players must tap on the pencil icon found next to the character. Evolving a Pokémon does not come cheap, though, as 25 candy is required, which means at least 75 candy should be reserved to transform all three. Once the proper steps have been taken, the game should then be restarted to complete the process.

In other news, Niantic Labs CEO John Hanke has revealed the three team leaders for Team Mystic, Team Valor, and Team Instinct. The grand unveiling took place at the San Diego Comic-Con. Candela will lead Team Valor, Blanche will lead Team Mystic, and Spark will lead Team Instinct. Moreover, Niantic is currently working on new features that will be added to "Pokémon GO" in the future.
