Eevee and its many evolutions are some of the most popular creatures in the Pokemon franchise. Pokemon GO players have been waiting on the edge of their seats for the release of Glaceon and Leafeon and, thanks to the new lure modules, the time has finally come to expands out Eevee evolution collections.
Much like previous Eevee evolutions, the two new ones can be obtained via a few methods in Pokemon GO. There's a name change trick, the use of one of the new lure modules, and the option to just roll the dice on a random evolution. Now that there are so many different evolutions and evolution methods, we thought it would be a good time to revisit the method for obtaining each different creature.
Remember to keep in mind that the name change trick will only work once for each evolution. Make sure you use that guaranteed method on a high IV Eevee that you have particular plans for. For the buddy trick, make sure that the Eevee is still your buddy when you do the evolution.

Although Eevee's evolutions aren't quite as dominate in the current metagame as they were in the early days of Pokemon GO, they are still incredibly popular and useful in certain PvP or PvE encounters. Most players will want at least a few of each, so all of the evolution tricks are likely to be useful while expanding your roster.
