Since its debut in the first generation of games, Eevee has captured the hearts of Pokémon fans across the franchise. This popularity stems from its unique ability to evolve into eight diverse forms, each representing a different type and design. As a testament to this beloved status, all of Eevee’s evolutions are present in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
Players can acquire all eight evolutions shortly after starting the game, providing nearly complete type coverage. Gathering enough Eevees for all forms can be achieved in about sixty minutes and for around 20,000 Pokedollars. This guide outlines the complete process for obtaining Eevee and its evolutions.
How to Capture Eevee in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Eevee can be encountered in Wild Zone 19, but those keen on securing an unlimited supply early on can do so within the first few hours. After finishing three required side quests for Emma, players gain access to Lumiose City and can proceed to Bleu Sector 5, located in the southwest of the map. The objective is to locate the Nouveau Cafe Truck No. 2, which serves as one of the fast travel points in the area.
Next to the café truck, there’s a set of scaffolding that allows players to access a nearby rooftop. They should traverse to the higher part of the corner of the roof, where Eevee appears during daylight hours. It spawns on an elevated platform, making it tricky to sneak up on. However, if players are spotted, Eevee’s attention will be diverted, permitting them to crouch and get a closer approach for an easy catch. It is advisable for players to save their progress before attempting the catch.
Reloading a save does not cause Eevee to disappear. The game only autosaves if the player captures or defeats it, allowing for retries if it gets hostile or if Pokeballs run low. Alternatively, players can leap off the roof and climb back up to reset Eevee’s aggression, but this method may be slower and will result in Pokeball loss after failed attempts. Catching or knocking out the Pokémon results in a new Eevee appearing after five minutes.
Even if players are in close proximity, Eevee will spawn on the Bleu Sector rooftop, enabling them to AFK while waiting for it to appear. A new Eevee will materialize precisely five minutes after the previous one is caught or defeated, allowing players to capture the required eight Eevees for all evolutions in under an hour. Players will hear Eevee’s cry upon spawning, so they need not keep their eyes glued to the screen.

How to Evolve Eevee into Espeon
To transform Eevee into Espeon, its friendship level needs to be boosted, followed by evolving it during the day. Players can quickly raise friendship by visiting a café or food truck for drinks with their Eevee. After four servings of Roserade Tea, Eevee’s friendship level will be adequate for evolution. If necessary, players can adjust the time to daytime by sitting on a bench.
Before evolving, players should ensure that their Eevee does not know any Fairy-type moves, such as Disarming Voice, as this would cause it to evolve into Sylveon instead of Espeon. Moves can be changed through the main menu.
How to Evolve Eevee into Umbreon
Similar to Espeon, players need to increase Eevee’s friendship and then evolve it at night. Players can again raise friendship through drinks at a café or food truck. After four cups of Roserade Tea, the friendship stat will be sufficient. If needed, players can make it nighttime by sitting at a bench.

To evolve Eevee into Sylveon, enhance its friendship level and ensure it knows at least one Fairy-type move. Friendship can be increased by visiting a food truck or café for drinks together.

Players will have the chance to catch Alpha versions of some Eeveelutions during the post-game of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but prior to that, evolving Eevee via the aforementioned methods is the only way to obtain them.
