Eevee brothers: Difference between revisions

The '''Eevee brothers''' are four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s from the [[Pokémon anime]], three of which whose signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are the [[Eeveelution]]s (that existed at the time). They make their appearance in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''.

Rainer, Sparky, and Pyro appear to be the same age, possibly triplets. [[Mikey]] is noticeably younger than the other three brothers.

'''Sparky''' (Japanese: '''ライゾウ''' ''Raizō'') has golden hair styled in tall spikes. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Jolteon}}. He boasts it is the best because when angered, its fur becomes sharp as needles which it can launch at the opponent using {{m|Pin Missile}}.  

|desc=Sparky's {{p|Jolteon}} is a Pokémon Sparky [[Evolution|evolved]] alongside the other owner's Pokémon, its only appearance was in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' where it first appeared at a [[Stone Town]] evolution party alongside the other owners and {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Flareon}}. Sparky then boasted how powerful Jolteon was, getting into an argument with the other brothers. {{TRT}} appeared, and stole it and all the other Pokémon including the [[evolutionary stone]]s.

Later they found Team Rocket from the leaking petrol, and were able to free them all except for {{p|Eevee}}. By using its {{m|Pin Missile}} along with the other brothers' Pokémon's attacks (including Eevee) they were able to send Team Rocket blasting off. It was last seen in a picture which was taken.

'''Rainer''' (Japanese: '''ミズキ''' ''Mizuki'') has dark blue hair styled to look like fins. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Vaporeon}}. He boasts it is the best because it can melt into water and disappear by using {{m|Acid Armor}}.

Rainer, Pyro, and Sparky—along with [[Mikey]]—appear in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is based on the anime.

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.

With {{Ash}}'s help, Mikey's Eevee and [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeat all three brothers to earn Mikey the right to join the fellowship without evolving his Eevee.

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|Espeon}}, 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. {{TP|Ash|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}}.
