Jolteon has been on the team of Pokemon trainers since the very beginning, starting way back in Pokemon Red and Blue on the Nintendo Gameboy. Many veteran players may remember the experience of picking up their first Eevee from the Celedon Apartments and buying a Thunderstone at the department store next door in order to get a Jolteon.

Having been added in since the release of Pokemon GO, many players have experience with using the speedy Electric type eeveelution on their team in both Raid and PvP battles.

However, there are still a number of players who are not aware of how to evolve their Eevee into Jolteon.


Evolving Eevee into Jolteon In Pokemon GO

Like the rest of Eevee's evolution, there are a couple of different ways to evolve your Eevee into Jolteon in Pokemon GO:

  • Nicknaming your Eevee - Players are guaranteed to evolve their Eevee into a Jolteon after spending the 25 candies required for evolution and nicknaming their Eevee "Sparky".
  • Evolving their Eevee regularly - Players can evolve their Eevee into Jolteon regularly by spending 25 candies, though getting Jolteon is not guaranteed as there are at least 2 different forms Eevee can evolve into, including Vaporeon and Flareon.

While most players looking to add Jolteon to their team use the guaranteed nicknaming method, there is still a possibility of getting Jolteon through regular evolution.

It is important to note that the nickname method works only once per eeveelution.
