Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-colored. Eevee has brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of raccoons, foxes, dogs, and cats.

Behaviour

Eevee’s behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don’t appear to have any characteristic quirks but are usually affectionate, loyal and fairly energetic Pokémon.

Trivia

• Fans have come up with a term to refer to all Pokémon which evolve from Eevee: Eeveelutions.
• In Pokémon Ranger, all of Eevee’s evolutions up to the third generation can be “captured”. However, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was eventually changed in the sequel.
• Eevee’s name is a palindrome; it shares this distinction with Girafarig and Ho-Oh.
• If Eevee’s happiness is raised to a maximum while in Eterna Forest or on Route 217, it will not evolve into Espeon or Umbreon; instead becoming Leafeon or Glaceon, respectively.
• Eevee and Tyrogue are the only Pokémon that can evolve into more than two Pokémon, if Wormadam’s alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
• Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one ability.
• Despite the fact that May, Gary and Sakura each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, an evolution of an Eevee was never seen on screen in the anime until DP174 when Ursula evolved her two Eevee into Flareon and Vaporeon during a contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
• During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of several Pokémon in Generation II and on, however, its only distinction now is its ability to evolve into as many species as it is able: currently seven.
• Eevee is one of two Pokémon that evolve with the Thunderstone. The other is Pikachu.
• Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild. Interestingly, when it is caught, it knows four status moves.
• Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is Azurill.
• Generation III is the only generation so far to not have an evolution for Eevee.

Origin

It has traits of foxes and cats. It is possibly based on the folklore of Tanuki, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the Japanese raccoon dog. It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the foxes ability to adapt to extreme enviroments, like the desert fox, and the arctic fox.

Name origin

Eevee’s name is a pronunciation of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution. Eevee was originally going to be called “Eon,” the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee, which probably is a shortening of “evolution”. Eon also means a long time, which is how long it takes for evolution to take place in the real world.
