The Eevee Brothers from the original anime were named Rainer, Pyro, Sparky and they owned a Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon respectively. If you nickname your Eevee either Rainer, Pyro or Sparky, your Eevee will evolve into that desired Eeveelution!
Sparky = Jolteon
Rainer = Vaporeon
Pyro = Flareon

Edit: Didn't see this on the front page, figured I'd do my part in the pokemon go community to raise awareness.

Worked for me!
ash1k1
Nice easter eggs I guess
Monochron
Very nice because it's also a game mechanic!
RobertNAdams
IMPORTANT: Be sure to restart the app after renaming and BEFORE evolving to make sure the server accepted the name change.
Left4dawn
I would also suggest waiting a little bit also. I named two "Rainer" closed the app and got flareon. 1/2
Left4dawn
2/2 second time I signed out, signed back in closed the app twice evolved it and got jolteon

Does this work on newly caught eevees or do I have to train it?
EdgarandAnnabelle
Newly caught. I chose the highest CP eevee i had and wanted a vaporeon after already evolving a flareon. worked for me perfectly.
globalken001
This works!
Vapeoreon
Can confirm this is how everyone gets me.

We get it you vape
ImAFuckingGoodBoy
Spelled it wrong.
theoneprevouslyknownas
I don’t know if this still works, it did at one time for sure
Celticportalz
Tried it with a Pyro. Didn't work for me. My husband had it work for his sparky
austensilver
Mine worked as Pyro
dontmagpie
then it didnt work. thats called a coincidence
Decoyape11
This hasn't worked at all. Any help?
igloosuperglue
wtf a evee just appeared out of no where when i was reading this post
AFineDayForScience
I was mugged reading a BLM post
igloosuperglue
I renamed it, it didn't work
ChibiRoboDrogo
It works!!!!
drfluph
Worked for me once for each type, tried it to get a second vapeoreon but it didnt work, maybe only works once for each?
c0nfusi0nbear
Does this actually work
c0nfusi0nbear
Yes
MyFavoritesIsAllComics
Can confirm 2/2
TallDude
Ah yes, the "someone did this and it worked, so it must be the answer" correlation. PoGo is full of this BS reasoning.
Lichelf
this one is true though and have been well known for a few days

This was literally exactly what it was like to play Gen 1 back in 98

I write for TechRaptor.net and did a story on this. It's difficult to confirm without broad testing. We were 2 for 2 in a quick test FWIW.
ZachPutland
Are you stupid or trolling?
TallDude
Green Pulse, clicking to get back pokeballs, etc. have led me to be cautious of any "tips". But it seems I was wrong about this one.
derpbird
Lots of people have done this and had it work at the very worst it's a crazy coincidence and you can always rename your pokemon after

Go check the Reddit thread. Extensive testing and video confirmation.

MachineChaser
I'm pretty sure I saw the 'evolve' button flash
MachineChaser
Whoops, seems I misunderstood what was happening
EarlyModernDramaQueen
I'm pretty sure it's actually based off of the secondary move. Dig = Flareon, Swift = Vaporeon, and Body Slam = Jolteon.
RICHARDJOKES
Doesn't work.
Autofarer
GUYS IT ONLY WORKS ONCE FOR EACH EVELUTION, SO DONT TRY TO GET 2 OF THE SAME KIND!!
Kittricky
I named my Eevee (Rainer) and it evolved into a Flareon.
DoGoodSeeGood
Probably bugged. I've never seen it fail across dozens of tests on multiple accounts.
dontmagpie
Bullshit. doesnt work. if it worked, it would work 100% of the time
[deleted]
[deleted]
dontmagpie
no, its not. that was disproven the first day
DoGoodSeeGood
Why? Who's to say the game isn't bugged or even designed to only give you a better chance when you name it.
Lichelf
It works the first time of each type (water, fire electricity) but not after. Me and my friends all got vaporeon after naming it rainer
Left4dawn
Yeah I'm thinking it only works once.
Gnerg
It has a 33.3% success rate! You can't argue with results!
fakePUNK
i still swear by the 2nd move...swift=jolt dig=vap body slam=flare...its worked every damn time for me. could be dumb luck
MADgamer13
Pretty sure it's random. Found a post that said swift=vaporeon bodyslam=jolteon dig=flare, got flare from 2 of those, and proved it wrong
Xareas
It is %100.
twozerooz
Nope didnt work for me
Xareas
Then you didn't spell it right or some other cause it's been confirmed.
twozerooz
Nope spelled it right and even waited before doing it. Its already been debunked.
fleeb
Throwing a pokeball doesn't catch pokemon then?
dontmagpie
using a leaf stone on a gloom doesnt always work, then?
LinkTheHeroOfWinds
Incorrect comparison. A pokeball has a chance of not catching something inherently. So if it misses it doesn't matter. This claims by doing
LinkTheHeroOfWinds
a certain action you will get a result. Therefore it is false if the action does not end with that result.

Well I didn't see that post and didn't know until this post, I'm glad it got reposted and you can suck an egg!
Howdoilife
ok
SamuraiFoxes
reposts are new to someone... Lke me. This is news to me.
Howdoilife
I'm honestly surprised that this information is new. I've had nothing better to do than Imgur today and literally every PoGo post has this
SamuraiFoxes
I don't get to imgur until after work, so my view of the site is more limited.

I just did it and it works. If you want proof I also have pictures

it only works on the first of each kind.

Worked for mine. One flareon and one vaporeon. I add my count to the previous anecdote?

Then keep an extra. I don't know about you but I get so many that getting one of each isn't gonna be a problem at all.

You need to catch a Vulpix then. It's even cuter and fluffier than an Eevee

None besides what gyms you can fight. It's just a joke that valor and mystic are big rivals and instinct is just lovable and has fun

WHAT'S WITH YA'LL FLAREON'S ON FIRE, HOW IS THAT NOT THE BEST, IT'S BURNING, THE OTHERS ARE NOT ON FIRE.

Vaporeon gets the most CP per upgrade.

OneTwoThreeFourCanIHaveALittleMoreFiveSixSevenEightNineTen
In the games, Vaporion has the best base stats.
AndyColton
Incorrect. All of the Eeveelutions have the same numbers for their stats, just rearranged. Same base totals.
scrollzz
Well some stats are better than other, so it does have better stats, correct?
uhhMurdok
Vaporeon is the strongest stat wise in both, Jolteon the weakest in both, but has awesome movepool, Flareon sucks in real thanks to movepol
Gamer4125
Flareon isn't that bad. Pre-Gen 4 it can't use its base 130 Atk well, but it's got a good Special Atk of 95, and 110 Special in Gen 1.
MakerOfBadJokes
Mine has fire blast. Speak for yourself.
uhhMurdok
Yeah I meant he sucked in the real games for a while, till they finally let him make use of his great attack stat. In GO he is amazing.
cobyjack
I always thought jolteon was best for his speed, one of the fastest, and his moves. I only played the first two or three generations though
uhhMurdok
Vaporeon is best stat wise in the real games, Jolteon is the best overall thanks to stats/movepool/type.
Vapeoreon
DAMN RIGHT I DO
CheeseKaiser
In pokemon go, its vaporeon.
Nostrellor
and additionally it has the highest CP multiplicator from evolution, but i dont know if it has the highest max cp of them
JumperX
It's because CP values HP slightly higher than Attack(Flareon). The stats gained from Speed (Jolteon) make almost no difference in GO.
liroll
Vaporeon has highest CP and HP but jolteon counters it
w0ntoan
The extra damage from types isn't enough to make up for stats. PoGo is 1.25x, not 2x.
StandardDemacian
Not just in Pokémon go.
Vapeoreon
DAMN RIGHT I AM
IllegalDuckling
We get it, you vape.
GingerGrootGamer
You don't know how to spell your own name.
xxGreenShirTxx
Go Jolteon to counter all these Vaporeon :)
Metalbender
I've found that Vaporeon is better at dealing with other Vaporeon than Jolteon is. Vapo is bulkier and Water Gun is an awesome move in GO
JumperX
Worst advice anyone could possibly give. Atm he's an even worse choice vs Vaporeon than Flareon is (I think, haven't crunched numbers).
Vapeoreon
Don't you dare.
GregorCorgane
Wrong. Jolteons base is 5 dam, with stab and type against vaporeon, it gets 20 dam. Vaporeons base is 10, 20 with stab. So they do the same
RogenaValorina
STAB is not a 2x multiplier, it is 1.25x
GregorCorgane
Damage to one another. Or they should. However, Vaporeons health pool is considerably larger than jolteons. Also, if both are evolved from
GregorCorgane
Similar level eevees, then due to vaporeons higher multiplier, it will have higher cp and just flat out murder jolteon.
GregorCorgane
Tl;dr. Jolteon, in current meta, is absolutely worthless compared to other options. Only get it for collection or if you just HAVE to have
JumperX
Close, but ThunderShock has 12.5+SuperE(*1.25)= 15.625 DPS vs WaterGun's 25 DPS. +They have similar stats but Vap has double the HP.
JumperX
This is including STAB(1.25) to the base of course.
GregorCorgane
Good to know. Math might be off due to word of mouth estimations, but my point still stands. Thank you.
