what to name eevee to get vaporeon
To get Vaporeon from Eevee in Pokémon GO, you need to nickname your Eevee Rainer before evolving it.
Quick Scoop: Does the trick still work?
- Rename your Eevee to Rainer (exact spelling, first letter capitalized).
- Close and reopen the Pokémon GO app to be sure the new name is saved.
- Tap Evolve and it should become Vaporeon the first time you use this nickname on your account.
- The name trick works only once per evolution type per account , so you get one guaranteed Vaporeon from the Rainer trick.
Many players on forums and social groups still report that “Rainer → Vaporeon” works as long as they haven’t used it before and the name is saved correctly.
Extra notes and fun forum flavor
- After you’ve used Rainer once, future Eevee evolutions into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon are random unless you rely on luck or special events.
- Fans often give their Vaporeon themed nicknames like Neptune , Splash , Aqua , Pacifica , or Selkie , but those are just for style and don’t affect evolution.
