Alternate ways to evolve Eevee into Umbreon in Pokemon GO

The easiest way to evolve an Eevee into Umbreon in Pokemon GO is to use the name-trick method. However, a name-trick can only be used once to evolve a singular Eevee into an Umbreon. If a player hasn't done this yet and wants to take advantage of this simple tactic, all they need to do is name their Eevee "Tamao".

Once the desired Eevee has been named Tamao, and a trainer has enough species-candies, they will be able to evolve the Pokemon into Umbreon.

Fortunately for players that have already used the name-trick for Umbreon, there is another way to make the evolution happen. However, it is a bit of a process when compared to the first method.

First things first, players need to make the Eevee they want to evolve into Umbreon their buddy in Pokemon GO. Now, a trainer needs to walk 10km with the Eevee as their buddy. The evolution can take place only at night, so if players have walked the 10km and it's night time, they can evolve their Eevee into Umbreon. Else, they'll have to wait it out. Once it is night time in Pokemon GO, a player can evolve their Eevee by feeding it the necessary species-candy.

It is worth taking these extra steps to get Umbreon in Pokemon Go as it can turn the tide in certain battle scenarios. The Pocket Monster has very high Stamina and Defense stats, so it usually takes quite a bit of damage to knock an Umbreon out.
