So the real question here is... which eevee evolution is your favorite? Which eevee is best eevee.
Oh my goodness, well, I donât have exhaustive experience of any of them but here are my thoughts:
Such a good little foxy bunny thing! In a sensible brown that wonât show the dirt, Eevee is a reliable friend and simple classic. Doesnât put on airs. You donât need to dress up for Eevee but youâll have fun with it. Looks like it would lick your plates for you before you put them in the dishwasher. 10/10
Vaporeon is the Eevee that manages to look the most like simultaneously a cat and a mermaid, a purrmaid, if you will. I like its little Tudor ruff. A stately PokÊmon such as you might see sporting in a neoclassical fountain like the Trevi in Rome. 10/10
I like Jolteon because it looks naughty! I cannot be trusted to remember that its name is not Volteon. A pointy punky PokÊmon that listens to the Misfits and would like to chill with Thor. 10/10
The puff of blond hair on top of Flareonâs head reminds me of Donald Trump. This is not Flareonâs fault but is an unfortunate association. Despite all the original Eevees having a ruff round their necks Flareon is the only one that it somehow doesnât suit. Sorry Flareon, you could have done more with your bitchinâ fire theme. I think Guy Fieri would like you even so. 8/10 because you are still an Eevee. Â
Espeon looks nice and creepy. I am not sure I trust it. Another very catty-looking PokĂŠmon. Japanese folklore says that an old cat will grow a forked/double tail, change its name to Nekomata and dick around with people (sometimes they do necromancy and arson!). I think thatâs what the Espeonâs tail refers to. Smells like lavender and looks good in photos, 10/10.
Umbreon looks extremely naughty. I like it. The basically considerate nature of an Eevee is evidenced by the fact its dark coat is broken up with hi-vis yellow rings to prevent you tripping over it on your way to the loo at night. A good Eevee to take with you to do crimes, 10/10.
Leafeon is delicately beautiful, a sylvan elf of a PokĂŠmon, rich in chlorophyll, it traps carbon dioxide, reoxygenates the atmosphere and will save us all. I have never met a Leafeon. I just think theyâre pretty. 10/10
Is Glaceon the only PokĂŠmon with bangs? I canât think of anything else about Glaceon. Looks naughty. 10/10 anyway. Â
The ribbons are a bit much, and I couldnât find a picture of Sylveon in a uniform size with the other ones. Sylveon sounds like it should be Leafeonâs name because it implies this Eevee is from the woods or the forest. 8/10 because itâs just too frou-frou even though I really like fairy types.
In conclusion: All Eevees are good and beautiful. Sylveon and Flareon are not my first choices.
