How To Get Every Shiny Eeveelution In Pokemon GO
The most common way to obtain shiny Eeveelutions inPokemon GOis not to hunt forthe Eeveelutions themselvesbut instead to hunt for shiny Eevee, as they are much more commonly found in the wild. This is because there is a one-time trick that you can use to determine which evolution Eevee will evolve into, so if you save this trick to use only when you obtain shiny Eevees, you will be able to acquire one shiny of each Eeveelution.
This method for Eevee evolution is often referred to as the ‘name trick method,’ as it is achieved by changing the nickname of your Eevee before initiating evolution.

While this can be a reliable method for obtaining the specific Eevee evolution that you desire, this method will only work once for each Eeveelution. For this reason, if you can hold off on using this method until each timeyou get a shiny Eevee, you will be able to slowly build your shiny Eevee family and guarantee at least one copy of each evolution. In the case that you have consumed all uses of this method, you will have to rely on random luck or specific tasks to determine which evolution your Eevee evolves into.
To rename your Eevee, tap on it in your collection, then select the edit name button, which is indicated with asmall pencil icon. Now, all you have to do is simply type in the new nickname, and click confirm. As the last step, you will now need to simply evolve Eevee, which will require you toexpend25 Eevee Candy.
