In the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]'', Rainer, Pyro, and Sparky are members of a fellowship named the [[Knights of the E Stone]]. To join, members are required to own at least one Pokémon which was evolved by means of an [[evolutionary stone]]. Joining The Knights of The E Stone is a family tradition which the brothers have upheld, and they pressure Mikey to evolve his {{p|Eevee}} so that he may join, too.

The brothers are shown to have a playful side in the manga as well, teasing Mikey about {{an|Misty}} being his "girlfriend" and disappearing in a cloud of smoke when they leave the room.

* Sparky has the same voice actor in both English and Japanese as [[Chopper]], and Rainer has the same voice actor in both English and Japanese as both [[Scuz]] and [[Pete Pebbleman]].

* The Eevee brothers have no representation in their family of the [[Eeveelution]]s debuting after [[Generation I]]. There was originally [[fanon]] speculation that something might be done to correct this, but like many [[character of the day|characters of the day]], the Eevee brothers have made no reappearance in the [[Pokémon anime]] since their debut episode.
* This was not the only group of siblings training Eeveelutions to appear on the Pokémon anime. When {{Ash}} and his friends went to [[Johto]], they met the [[Kimono Girl|Kimono Sisters]] who, like their counterparts in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, each trained one of the five evolutions. Unlike the Eevee brothers, though, they had no representation in their family of Eevee itself, unless one counts [[Sakura]]'s {{TP|Sakura|Eevee}}, which later evolved into {{p|Espeon}}.

* Oddly, at the time of the episode, Ash, Misty, and Brock each had a Pokémon with them that could evolve via one of the [[evolutionary stone]]s that are used by Eevee to evolve. {{AP|Pikachu}} evolves with the {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} evolves with the {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} evolves with a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. Pyro and Sparky offer a Fire Stone to Brock and a Thunderstone to Ash in hopes that they will evolve their Pokémon, but Rainer never offers a Water Stone to Misty, most likely because she already has a {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.

* In [[Pokémon GO]], if an Eevee is [[nickname]]d after one of the Eevee brothers (excluding Mikey), it is [[List of cross-canon references|guaranteed]] to evolve into that brother's respective Eeveelution, while usually the form Eevee evolves into is random. This method seems to work only once per Eeveelution, however.
