| In [[Generation I]], the Eevee obtained at the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]] could easily become a helpful partner to the player's own [[starter Pokémon]], especially considering the high {{stat|Special}} stat of 110 shared by the three then-known evolutions, and the ability to cover for the weaknesses of the starters' final forms. With relatively few Pokémon of each respective type available until late in the games, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Vaporeon}} could be considered a staple to complete the game. | | In [[Generation I]], Eevee is obtained at the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]] and can evolve into {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, or {{p|Vaporeon}} through the use of an [[evolutionary stone]]. |
| | |
| One may notice that only Eevee and its evolved forms from [[Generation I]] have the distinctive ruff-like collar. The Eeveelutions released afterward do not possess this feature. Likewise, all Eeveelutions from this generation evolve via exposing Eevee to an [[evolutionary stone]], unlike future generations.

| '''Vaporeon''', the first of the Eeveelutions in [[National Pokédex]] order, is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Like most other Pokémon of its type, its highest stat is its HP. Evolving from an Eevee that is exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, Vaporeon now has the ability to use the [[HM]] move {{m|Surf}}, among other powerful Water-type moves, to take down its foes. This is particularly advantageous, considering its relatively high {{stat|Special}} stat (and later {{stat|Special Attack}} stat) of 110. | | '''Vaporeon''', the first of the Eeveelutions in [[National Pokédex]] order, is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

| | |
| Among Vaporeon's special abilities are the moves {{m|Acid Armor}}, which raises its low Defense stats, and the lesser-known {{m|Aurora Beam}}, which lowers the opponent's Attack. Vaporeon's {{a|Water Absorb}} also helps it by recovering HP any time it is hit by a Water-type attack.

Much like Vaporeon exemplifies the Water type's generally high HP, Jolteon exhibits its type's extraordinary Speed. Like Vaporeon, its Special Attack (formerly Special) is its second-highest stat, making it a good choice as an Electric type in games prior to [[Generation IV]]. | | '''Jolteon''' is the second of the Eeveelutions, evolving from exposure to a [[Thunder Stone]], and is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. |
| | |
| Like Vaporeon, Jolteon has an [[Ability]] that heals it when it is hit by attacks of its own type, {{a|Volt Absorb}}, as well as several moves that are rare and nearly exclusive to it. Among these is {{m|Pin Missile}}, a move once praised as the best way to take down a {{t|Psychic}} type in [[Generation I]].

| The final member of [[Generation I]]'s Eeveelution trio is '''Flareon''', a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, evolving from Eevee when it is exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. Flareon's highest stat is its Attack. However, this high Attack is not without its drawbacks: many of the moves that Flareon learns are [[special move]]s, and since, unlike Vaporeon and Jolteon, Flareon fell on the other side of the Special split, its formerly formidable Special became its Special Defense; its Special Attack is somewhat lower. Before [[Generation VI]], it was only capable of learning two moderately low powered physical [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] moves, {{m|Fire Fang}} and {{m|Flame Charge}}. As of Generation VI, Flareon gains the move {{m|Flare Blitz}} through leveling up. | | The final member of [[Generation I]]'s Eeveelution trio is '''Flareon''', a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, evolving from Eevee when it is exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. |
| | |
| Its Ability, {{a|Flash Fire}}, gives it a great boost if a Fire-type move is used on it. The ability to resist against the mostly-Special Water type's powerful moves also gives it a slight advantage.

| ===Generation II=== | | ===Generation II=== |
| The addition of two additional evolutions in [[Generation II]] did much to boost Eevee's popularity, as well as give it a reputation of continued versatility. With yet another Eevee available relatively early on in the game, the new evolutions of {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} were easily obtained; in fact, it now became possible, even, to get ''multiple'' Eevee with just one game, rather than requiring at least two coordinated games to get all three evolutions as was the case in Generation I, due to the introduction of {{pkmn|breeding}}.
| | Eevee is again available relatively early in [[Generation II]], which introduces two new Eeveelutions: {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, obtained when Eevee is leveled up with high [[friendship]] at certain times of the day. Due to this, and the lack of a clock in certain Generation III games, Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Each of [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Kimono Girl]]s owns one of the five Eeveelutions that existed in Generation II. |

| As a {{t|Psychic}} type, '''Espeon''' is well known for a common trait among Pokémon which share its type: a rather high Special Attack and somewhat high Speed. It also has high Special Defense, another common trait among Psychic types. Taking advantage of the [[time]] and [[friendship]] features introduced in [[Generation II]], Espeon evolves from Eevee when it is raised to maximum friendship and gains a level {{tt|during the daytime|between 12 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. in the Hoenn games}}.

| | |
| Espeon takes advantage of the wide amount of [[special move]]s available. With its Ability, {{a|Synchronize}}, it can easily discourage the use of [[status move]]s that give it a [[status condition]], as that condition would then come back at the Pokémon attacking it. With its [[Dream World]] Ability, {{a|Magic Bounce}}, it can even protect itself and its team from indirect damage through entry hazards. It, alongside Umbreon, is the [[starter Pokémon]] for [[Pokémon Colosseum]].

Somewhat uniquely, it was the only pure Dark-type in the generation it was introduced in, and was the only Eeveelution at that time whose highest stat was one of its defenses. With its two highest stats in Special Defense and Defense, respectively, and its two lowest in the respective offensive stats, Umbreon is much more often used to cause status problems than damage. Umbreon evolves from Eevee when it gains a level {{tt|during the nighttime|between 12 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. in the Hoenn games}} with maximum friendship. | | '''Umbreon''' is the second of the two [[Generation II]] Eeveelutions, a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

| Though no new Eeveelutions were seen in [[Generation III]], possibly because of the unavailability of Eevee in [[Hoenn]], [[Generation IV]] added another pair of new Eeveelutions, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}}. Unlike their evolutionary cousins, they were not available early on in their debut game, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. However, they are available early on in {{game|Platinum}}, where Eevee is available before the player has received the third Badge. | | Though no new Eeveelutions were introduced in [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]] added another pair of new Eeveelutions, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}}, which are obtained by leveling Eevee up in certain areas, another departure from the [[methods of evolution]] in previous generations. |

Unlike Flareon, it has a diverse movepool, with the rare {{m|Leaf Blade}} counted among its STAB moves.
