The humble Eevee looks pretty normal in Pokémon Sword & Shield, but what makes this popular critter so special is how she can transform into eight different forms. Originally starting with just a few elemental evolutions, the series has expanded Eevee’s repertoire to include Dark Type, Fairy Type, and more. They’re all adorable, and they’re all worth grabbing.
The evolution methods aren’t always what you might expect. If you want to get all eight forms, you’ll need to follow some pretty specific instructions. To help you out, here’s a quick guide explaining how to get all eight forms of Eevee. I’ll also explain where to find all the items you’ll need for these evolutions in Sword & Shield.

Pokémon Happiness is increased by bonding with your Pokémon at any PokeCamp. Play with them, give them attention, and join other camps so they can play with other Pokémon. Cooking and eating curry is another good way to increase happiness in your Pokémon.
