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.
