how to get umbreon in pokemon go

You can get Umbreon in Pokémon Go mainly by evolving Eevee in specific ways and, more rarely, by catching or raiding it.

Quick Scoop: Main Ways to Get Umbreon

1. One‑time name trick (fastest method)

• Catch or use any Eevee you like.
• Rename it to “Tamao” (exact spelling, no quotes).

• Make sure you have 25 Eevee Candy.

• Check the evolve screen: you should see Umbreon’s silhouette next to the evolve button.

• Tap evolve – this guarantees Umbreon, but only once per account for this nickname.

Think of the name trick as your “first‑time free pass” to get an Umbreon with almost no setup.

2. Buddy + walking method (repeatable method)

After you’ve used the name trick, this is the standard way people get more Umbreon.

1. Make Eevee your Buddy.
   • Open Eevee’s profile, scroll down, choose Swap Buddy, and select Eevee.

2. Walk at least 10 km with Eevee as your Buddy.
   • You must earn at least 2 Eevee candies while it’s your buddy.

3. Keep Eevee as your Buddy.
   • Don’t swap to another Buddy before evolving or it can break the guarantee.

4. Evolve at night in‑game.
   • Evolve when the game shows nighttime: look for the moon icon or darker map.

 * Many players evolve between **8 p.m. and 3 a.m.** to be safe.

5. Double‑check the evolution preview.
   • On the evolve button, the little silhouette should be Umbreon; if it isn’t, reload the game or walk a bit more, then try again.

Do this correctly and you get a guaranteed Umbreon every time you repeat the process.

3. Other ways (less reliable, but nice bonuses)

• Wild encounters:
  • Umbreon can sometimes spawn in the wild, especially with Fog weather or during special Dark‑type events, but it’s rare.

• Raid Battles:
  • Umbreon occasionally appears as a Raid boss in certain rotations or events, letting you catch it directly after winning.

• Trades:
  • You can trade with friends who already have an Umbreon (including shiny Umbreon) if both of you meet the trade requirements.

Mini Tips if You’re Chasing Umbreon Hard

• Save the “Tamao” name trick for a good Eevee (high IVs, lucky, or shiny), since you only get it once per evolution type.

• Use Pinap Berries on wild Eevee to farm more candy faster (so walking 10 km feels less painful).
• If you want both Espeon and Umbreon, use the same 10 km Buddy trick , but evolve:
  • Daytime for Espeon,
  • Nighttime for Umbreon,
    making sure Eevee is still your Buddy in both cases.
