Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon are finally getting their own alternate art V and VMAX Pokemon: Trading Card Game cards this December, after being skipped over in the recent Eevee-centric Evolving Skies expansion.

Jolteon is the Electric-type Eeveelution, introduced in Generation One with Vaporeon and Flareon. The shiny version of Jolteon is not for everyone unless you really love green, as Jolteon’s coat changes from a bright yellow-gold to lime green. It's not the most appealing color ever, but it is a fun change that's much less subtle than other Eeveelutions. The question to raise here is whether it is a good move to cut cards from Evolving Skies to sell them later on as their own product. On the one hand, complete Evolving Skies collections will be missing the three arguably most iconic of the Eeveelutions. It could also be argued that, by cutting the Kanto evolutions and selling them separately, that The Pokemon Company is attempting to cash in on nostalgia for the first generation of Pokemon.

As for shiny Glaceon's design, the Ice-type isn't winning any awards, but it is very pretty. It's probably one of the most subtle changes on the entire list of shiny Eevee evolutions, swapping out the teal for a slightly bluer and lighter color. It definitely looks icier in its shiny version, so that's nice. How To Get Shiny Glaceon Shiny Leafeon is more than a little subtle. The colors become a bit darker and more vibrant, which is a nice differentiation from the normal manila-yellow that so many Pokemon are. However, it's really almost unnoticeable, making it pretty underwhelming. How To Get A Shiny Leafeon Espeon and Umbreon can be obtained by walking 10km with Eevee as your buddy and evolving it during the day (for Espeon) or night (for Umbreon). This is determined by local time, and GPS signal is required. Espeon is one of the most elegant looking of the Eevee evolutions, but the shiny version is quite different from the original. The regular Espeon has a light purple-pink coat, while the shiny Espeon has a bright green one .

Despite Evolving Skies being an expansion with a big focus on Eevee and its evolutions, the original trio were the only ones not to receive their own full art alt-art. The V cards included in this box were in the Japanese Eevee Heroes expansion, on which Evolving Skies was based, but the VMAX cards were part of a lottery where only 3000 copies were given away. You can get Sylveon by using 25 Candies and earning 70 Hearts when Eevee is your buddy Pokémon. If you have enough Candy and Hearts acquired, a silhouette of Sylveon will show up. PvP is another matter, as it doesn't shine in the big leagues. The Ultra and Master league is littered with intimidating opponents, including powerful shiny legendary Pokemon like Giratina and Groudon. Glaceon is pretty solid, but Ice isn't great defensively, and Glaceon doesn't have a lot of bulk. Leafeon and Glaceon are obtained by evolving your Eevee under a Mossy Lure (for Leafeon) and a Glacial Lure (for Glaceon).

As for its shiny version, Vaporeon's new magenta coloring is definitely eye-catching. It's probably one of the most drastic changes of any Eeveelution between the normal and shiny variants and is definitely one of the more appealing swaps. How To Get Shiny Vaporeon

This evolution method can be used repeatedly, and it is the only way to obtain one of these Pokémonn. Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon are random evolutions, with no special conditions required. An Eevee will evolve into one of these forms if none of the conditions for other evolutions have been met. Each evolution costs 25 Candy. Sylveon can be obtained by earning 70 Hearts with Eevee as your buddy Pokémon and spending 25 Candy. Since the day and night are determined by local time, the GPS signal is also required otherwise the evolution will be random. None of the Pokémon that require a special item or task to evolve spawn in the wild, including both Espeon and Umbreon.

Sylveon's battle potential is on par with Vaporeon and Jolteon, but it ranks higher than them, thanks to its absolutely fantastic shiny form. Swapping out its pink for blue (and bits of blue for pink), Sylveon's shiny is a standout that perfectly matches its normal coloring. The two together are really great. Eevee must be set as a buddy before the evolution. After making sure all criteria are met, evolving during the day will get the trainer a Psychic type Espeon, while Dark type Umbreon will make its appearance at night time in the Pokémon GO app. Flareon is a decent Pokemon to have when you need a Fire-type, but it pales compared to others, like Moltres, Heatran, Entei, Reshiram, and more. It doesn't have access to a fantastic array of moves, either. However, since it isn't a Legendary, it can be much cheaper to power up a Flareon than many of the top Fire-types. Flareon is boosted by sunny weather, which is good to note if you’re trying to battle with your shiny Eevee evolutions. Regarding appearance, the shiny Flareon is mostly just a muted version of the original. The coat is a more gold-tan color than the brighter orange and red that the original has. How To Get A Shiny Flareon As for PvP... let's not talk about it. It's bad. Butt if you're looking to battle with your shiny Eeveelutions in general, shiny Espeon is definitely the best in PvE, no contest. How To Get Shiny Espeon

While Eevee isn’t an Eeveelution in the technical sense, it is the start of it all. Shiny Eevee is pretty neat, muting out the vibrant brown of regular Eevee for more of a pale gray. The colors are washed out and give a more subtle look to this fan-favorite. Similar to the anime and main series games, there is a special method in Pokémon GO to evolve Eevee into any desired evolution form, also called Eevolution as a blending of Pokémon’s name and the word evolution.
