what to name eevee to get sylveon
To evolve Eevee into Sylveon using the naming trick in Pokémon GO, name your Eevee “Kira”.
Quick Scoop
- The one-time nickname you need is Kira.
- After renaming, check the evolution button: you should see Sylveon’s silhouette before you tap evolve.
- The name trick only works once per Eeveelution on your account, so you only get one guaranteed Sylveon this way.
Other ways to get Sylveon (if the trick is used already)
- Set Eevee as your buddy.
- Earn 70 buddy hearts with that Eevee (by walking, feeding, playing, etc.).
- When you have enough hearts and 25 Eevee Candy, the evolve button will show Sylveon, and you can evolve without the nickname.
