Eevee Pokémon GO is a Normal-type Pokémon with its own GO stats, move pool and evolution requirements. This guide covers whether Eevee can be Shiny, how its evolution works, its weaknesses, current move pool and the main details worth knowing before you spend Candy or Stardust.
If you are building your collection or preparing for a future event, the Eevee Pokémon GO information below keeps the permanent details in one place. Exact encounter availability changes through seasons and events, so current event guides should always be checked alongside this evergreen page.
Can Eevee Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes, Shiny Eevee is available in Pokémon GO. A Shiny encounter is never guaranteed, but Eevee Pokémon GO can be collected in its alternate colour when an eligible encounter method is available.
Shiny Eevee has been obtainable through wild encounters, Raid Battles, Eggs, research encounters and photobomb encounters. Those methods can rotate in and out of the game, so their presence here does not mean every method is active at all times.

Eevee Pokémon GO Weaknesses
Eevee is weak against Fighting attacks in Pokémon GO. These are the attacking types to prioritise when you need super-effective damage against Eevee.
Eevee resists Ghost attacks. Pokémon GO uses its own battle multipliers, so the amount of damage differs from the main-series games even when the general type matchup is familiar.
Eevee Pokémon GO Stats
Pokémon GO base stats are not currently available for Eevee.
Eevee Pokémon GO Moves
Eevee can currently draw from the move pool below. The strongest choice depends on whether you are building for raids, Gyms, Team GO Rocket or PvP, so this evergreen guide lists the available moves rather than pretending one moveset is automatically best for every format.
| Move type | Available moves |
|---|---|
| Fast Moves | Quick Attack, Tackle |
| Charged Moves | Dig, Swift |
| Elite Charged Moves | Last Resort, Body Slam |
Elite moves are not normally available from a standard TM. When an Elite Fast TM or Elite Charged TM is required, it is worth checking the exact battle format and current meta before using such a limited item.
How to Get Eevee in Pokémon GO
Eevee is released in Pokémon GO, but its exact encounter methods can change as seasons, events, raids, eggs and research rotate. For that reason, the safest way to hunt Eevee Pokémon GO is to check the current Pokémon GO guides on The Click alongside this evergreen page rather than relying on an old spawn list.
When Eevee is set as your Buddy Pokémon, it requires 5 km of walking per Buddy Candy. Buddy walking can therefore provide another steady Candy source when Eevee is not appearing frequently.
Is Eevee Worth Catching in Pokémon GO?
Yes, there are good reasons to keep catching Eevee Pokémon GO when it is available. Candy can be used toward its evolution line and its Shiny form gives collectors another target. Whether you should invest Stardust in a particular Eevee depends on its IVs and the battle format you actually plan to use.
