Physiology and Behaviour

Eevee's evolved forms

Eevee is a small, mammalian, quadrupedal Pokémon with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.

Eevee is rarely found in the wild and is mostly only found in cities and towns. It is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that is easily influenced by its environment. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by evolving. Eevee can potentially evolve into eight different evolutions. Eevee can also start to adopt the face of the Trainer that owns it. Eevee's genes are believed to have the key to solving the mysteries of Pokémon evolution. It's shown in the anime that once an Eevee evolves into one of its eight evolved forms, their evolution cannot be changed especially with an evolution stone.

Partner Eevee

In Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!, the player starts with a special Eevee known as a Partner Eevee. The Partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from the anime, which implemented similar traits starting in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. Partner Eevee has higher base stats and access to moves that normal Eevee do not. Before the Eighth Pokémon generation, this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. Since Generation VIII, however, the unique tail pattern is present on all female Eevee as a true gender difference. As a result, Pokémon GO was updated to apply this change to all female Eevee as well.

Gigantamax Eevee

As Gigantamax Eevee, it has become larger and more fluffy. The fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds surrounding it like a circle. Due to the fur becoming fluffier and luxurious, any enemies caught in it will lose the will to fight due to being enamored by its presence. Due to Gigantamaxing, Eevee become even more playful and rambunctious, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.

Origin and inspiration

In the 2018 artbook EVs, Motofumi Fujiwara revealed that the idea for Eevee came from Satoshi Tajiri's request to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.

Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of E-V, the first two letters in the word evolution.

Reception

While Eevee was not originally promoted as heavily as other Pokémon, Eevee's popularity has grown throughout the years, and it is now one of the series' most iconic Pokémon. Eevee and its evolutions have received generally positive reception, and it was noted as one of the most popular Pokémon at the offices of The Pokémon Company. Japanese fans of the series have coined November 21 as "Eevee Day" due the pronunciation being similar to Eevee's Japanese name Eievui. Eevee Day has since been officially adopted by the Pokémon Company, and was later made an official anniversary by the Japan Anniversary Association. Eevee has been cited as a "fan favorite" Pokémon and a franchise staple due to its popularity.

Eevee's appearance in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! received positive reviews. Hope Corrigan, writing for GameRevolution, commented on Eevee's appearance in the game. She highlighted the scene where Eevee interrupts the player's first Pokémon selection as immediately making her nostalgic for the days of her childhood when she used Eevee. While criticizing Eevee's power in the game, she praised the emotion that it brought her, stating that "For all her overpowered attitude, this Eevee is mine and she loved me right from the beginning. I know she’s just a few pixels in a virtual world but she is my Eevee and after all these years, I’m not ready to give that up." Siliconera writer Jenni Lada also highlighted Eevee's appearance in the game, praising the expanded role it played in the game. She also praised the interactions and smaller moments that the player could have with Eevee, citing them as making the player grow easily attached to the Pokémon.
