Can Eevee shine in Pokémon Go?

Eevee, the evolutionary Pokémon from Kanto, is found in the wild Pokémon Go. Yes, Eevee can shine in it Pokémon Go!

A comparison between Shiny Eevee and its evolutions to its normal forms. Shiny Eevee is silver, Shiny Vaporeon is purple, Shiny Jolteon is green, Shiny Flareon is brown, Shiny Espeon is neon green, Shiny Umbreon has blue accents, Shiny Leafeon is darker, Shiny Glaceon is lighter, and Shiny Sylveon is blue.

Ah yes, Eevee, the most annoying Pokémon you can evolve Pokémon Go (although Lycanroc in twilight form could also be up there). Depending on what “Eeveelution” you want, the Eevee evolution method can be pretty bad. If you’ve already used the naming tricks – which allow you to evolve your Eevee into a specific evolution if you give it a specific name – Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon are all RNG. However, the others require more specific methods, such as using a glacier bait for Glaceon. If you have a shiny Eevee and specifically want a shiny Vaporeon… good luck!

What is the shiny rate for Eevee in Pokémon Go?

According to old research from the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback machine

), the shiny rate for Pokémon on a normal day is approximately one in 500. Eevee is not a confirmed Pokémon that receives a “permaboost” (meaning that it is a rare spawn and therefore receives an increased shiny rate).

What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?

Unfortunately not much. It seems to be a coincidence. Catch rates for Shiny Pokémon are set by developer Niantic and are typically only increased during special events such as Community Days or Safari Zones, or during Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that increase the rate of Shiny Pokémon.
