FP Edit: My first FP and it was posting a picture a friend showed me. noice... At least it's helping a lot of people. Oh and everyone should be aware that i have a cousin named Gaston and he's a piece of shit. All Gastons are trolls and should not be trusted. #TeamValor
outspokencanary
Yup worked!!!! :)
WrathCore696
Didn't work
ccrushh
this looks just like the thing saying it was based on their second attack or special move, which was false
v01ara
This has been tested by hundreds of Reddittors. Only caveat is that you can only get one of each element like this then it reverts to normal
JordanJet
Worked. Evolved the one that knew dig since rumors say it is supposed to evolved into a Flareon instead. Got Jolteon
Jackpot123
Commenting to say it worked effortlessly. Needed a vaporeon, got a vaporeon, and he's 1551. Nice CP and finally got a vaporeon!
NynjahNick
It's legit. Tested it on 6 diff Eevees. Got two of each with each named correctly. Very nicely done OP
GreenLionG13
Holy shit it legit!
Nebulous40
Worked for me
J40D
But who are we to tell an eevee what element it identifies with?
rollierojas
oh shit it worked now i have all 3
NoFoxLeft
I named mine MuffDiver. :/ It evolved into Jolteon.
SleepiestBear
Jolteon's are spiky D:
CongoJack13
Isn't that a shocker?
TheGist
Now I know what I'm naming my lickitung fucking thank you
NoFoxLeft
My WeepingBell is named MegaFleshlite.
taktakman
mystery team?
sparrowhearted
IT WORKED! We live in the finger lakes where everyone has water types and this jolteon is going to END EVERYONE. Thank you Pokemon Saint!
DEFCONwhite
Didn't work
Valondra
Proof?
hppyhppyhppy
worked for me
FarmerOfMemes
Holy shit it worked!!!!
MrsLingling
I got my flareon! Ty. I'll test it on other eevees!
Reaper53
It didn't work for me
v01ara
You have to actually evolve it. Also force close the app after naming to save the name. Also you can only get one of each type like this
Reaper53
Ya thanks for clarifying it for me I was a little confused but now I have a Flareon
hppyhppyhppy
worked for me
CowmanII
what if you named it Mikey
Joksujuke
It evolves into an american italian mobster
CowmanII
this is a reference as well. the fourth eevee brother was named Mikey and refused to evolve his eevee. why the downvote
SocraticMethod
If you do multiple evolution, the first one will only work while the ones after that may be iffy. They are still collecting data in it.

Valondra
You have to reset after naming to allow it to save serverside.
YAWP2546
Worked for me. Time to fuck up all these flying and water in my town.
sporklesteve
Neither worked for me.
SealedSeven
Tip: Make sure to close out of the game and open back up to confirm the nickname was saved. Naming/Evolving too fast might not work.
sporklesteve
But you actually need to have the candies and click the evolve button. I don't have the candies to evolve my Eevee yet. (2/2)
sporklesteve
The way this reads is that when you change the name of your Eevee is that it'll evolve into the desired versions (1/2)
completelyunreIated
It worked on my Jolteon!
abigfatphony
What was the eevee's second move? Because that's one thing I know that normally decides what they evolve to
completelyunreIated
I heard about that too but I thought it was debunked. I'm almost certain it was Swift
WhatTheDormouseSaid
Username checks out
AsFakeAsTrees
That was debunked
abigfatphony
Didn't know that. Thanks
ShitLeopard420
It totally fucking worked
valkuma
Cue 800 vaporeons named "rainer" because Vaporeon is one of the strongest pokemon in the game atm.
DontGoInTheDogPark
Vaporeon is my favourite pokemon, still upset i havnt got one yet
WaterblightGanon
why is it the strongest?
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
+40 cp for each power up and strong move set.
nyaore
What YourMom said, plus there's a dirth of electric types to counter it that gain such high CP after a single level. Plus (1/)
nyaore
if my friend is any indication, Jolteon's are harder to get so there's less of an available counter. Took her eight tries. (2/2)
Valondra
Dearth.
nyaore
Appreciate the correction friend! :D
RaymondGarraty
Extra upvotes for civility! Bravo.
MinisterKai
Good thing you can change the name later
Hushkababa
I'm lucky if i can change it at all, wonky keyboard on my phone.
JavaGot
All these misinformation from the game and I still don't believe it. Needs more proof. Preferably a video of it actually happening.
hppyhppyhppy
worked for me
Strikyre
Seeing a lot of fans feel like seeing one or two instances is confirmation. And statistically, you need 20-30 before it's not just noise.
Threewisemen
2/2 sofar for me. I only had to evolve 2 so that's an 11% (1/9) chance it occurred on accident (two independent events both 1/3)
itsFlnkR
Me and my friends so far are 4/4 planning on doing a flareon in the near future will keep posted on that.
JavaGot
I just did it awhile go with the name Pyro. Then my sister named her Eevee, Rainer. Can confirm it's for real.
skepticalsock
Looking forward to it
drekavak
DOT
itsFlnkR
Pryo did turn out to be a flareon. That is 5/5 believe me or not. It's working for me and my friends so far.
itsFlnkR
I do not have another eevee to test but when o do I will return with a sparky and a 3 pic series if i learn to upload photos
itsFlnkR
I will also keep this going if need be
winsZero
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU ASSHOLES GETTING ALL THESE MOTHA FUCKING EEVEES?
rhilterbrant
I catch about five a day. Live at thr confluence of two rivers. They are just Carne por la machina.
justLookingFromDetroit
Yep. They're not common in my area either ????
ksnoddy77
I kid you not, if I walk around my neighborhood, I could catch 5 or so a day. I dunno what it is about my cul-de-sac, but they're everywhere
winsZero
I see a shit ton of paras, do you get those a lot where you are at? I'd trade those for eevees any day
ksnoddy77
I don't. I have yet to see one, actually.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Wealthy suburbs = evee, you did say cul de sac didn't you?
CowmanII
Cul de sacs aren't necessary a wealthy suburbs thing. It could be a poor suburbs thing too
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
If you can afford the suburbs, your not that poor. Lower middle class maybe. What do I know, I live in a rich suburb :/
Vitalhornet89
what is the land like where you live? Im in plains/hills and i have enough pidgy and rattata to choke a snorlax.
ksnoddy77
It's a fairly average neighborhood. I live in Northern Virginia, so the cost of living is high if you count that. Haha.
pingu88
They are everywhere here.. I even got a blastoise while lying in bed :)
YanoiLacroix
there are bunches of them around me, but not when you need them. <¬.¬> I also have a bug that makes it impossible to track pokemon down
jlmadsen
It just worked for me, finally got my Jolteon!
SatanLordOfUpvotes
I thought this worked based on their second abilities but i hope this is legit ;w;
greenfrootloop
Does the nickname need to start with a capital
Nathannnn128
/a/fUw0J
Plaaant
.
samspancakes
I just got a Jolteon from the wild.
infernopg
can you rename your trainer? else you would never be able to get all 3
Echopractic
Give Eevee the nickname.
infernopg
yeah completely misread that ^^ thanks
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
I was like what is this dude even talking about haha
EskimoDance
Trainer name doesn't matter, it's based off what you named your eevee
infernopg
AHHHHHHH now it makes sense, i shouldn't try to comprehend things at 2am ^^ thanks
idrinkcheapbeer
I've got 7 Evees (21 Evee candy) I'll favorite and try when I get 2 more.
anthonyLG
Why don't u transfer 4?
idrinkcheapbeer
because i had no idea you could do that until you just said that.
blackleafdragon
transfer? what does he mean?
idrinkcheapbeer
Son of a bitch, it worked. thanks @anthonyLG for telling me about the transfer.
anthonyLG
No problem. So it does work? I been trying to get a damn vaporwon, I already got two jolteons.
idrinkcheapbeer
Worked like a charm. I named him sparky and got a Jolteon when I evolved.
anthonyLG
Damn I already have two of them i want vaporeon
idrinkcheapbeer
how close are you to having another Evee to evolve?
SlothOfDanger
I would like to see some more proof
BichesLoveCannons
Do it.
Xkalnar
Worked 3 times for me and the GF.
Facetimewithme
Worked once for me so far
Yakeshinu
Will try in a few minutes (as soon as I have 5 more Eevee candies...Setting lure now. :)
Yakeshinu
AFAICT, this is true. Still, as a statistician, it's still anecdotal at this point. Anecdotal, but with STRONG legs.
outspokencanary
Got my pyro :)
CertifiedPreOwnedButtPlug
It worked for me! I got a Vaporeon!
NightlordKrusnik
It has had a 100% success rate among my local group, so far we are 11 for 11
DisenfranchisedSovietBear
Thats the solid sample size I've been looking for. Thanks!
grahamcrackerhoarder
Worked for me
YouWasted10SecondsOfYourLifeReadingThisLol
Most people are agreeing with it, but why do you need proof what harm does it do naming your eevee worst case it doesnt work and you rename
idrinkcheapbeer
Worked for me the one time I've tried it.
ChromeBadger
My sample size of 3 have all been successful
MrRandom314159
That does have about a 1/27 chance or about 3.7%
Nathannnn128
Here you are, sir. Just tried it. /a/fUw0J
Krydderen
Worked all 3 times for me
TerribleTurkeyzz
I've done it with 7 so far, God I'm a nerd.
TerribleTurkeyzz
Just realized I forgot to say it worked every time
EmilysMan
Worked once for me.
SuperEasyBarelyAnInconvenience
literally just did it w/ pryo and got a flareon the only one i didn't have, seems legit

R3tr0P0tat0
Why don't you just try it yourself?
SlothOfDanger
I plan on it, been catching eevee's for this very reason
R3tr0P0tat0
Why the fuck was I downvoted so much?! I was trying to give a serious suggestion, wondering if it would work!
INSTINCTorEXTINCT
He'd clearly try it if he had the means, is why I think the negs
SlothOfDanger
Yeah I don't think you deserved so much downvotes
Valondra
I was going to post this exact response. You took the bullet bro.
completelyunreIated
Worked once for me so far
SlothOfDanger
Hey worked for me once too, out of one of course
NotAPervert
Out of what?
completelyunreIated
I should have said 1 for 1 so far
shinymetalassassin
I am 1 for 1 as well.
haidere36
All these top comments like "It totally works!", But doesn't it just take one failure to disprove this?
Stendal
Well, it disproves that it is a 100% guarantee. But for all we know, this could very well give you an extra 1%. Very unlikely, but possible
Valondra
So find someone who says it doesnt and get them to provide proof.
Zalkaholic
Yeup. At this point I have so many that this is irrelevant, but still kinda want to try being that I have a 536 eevee.
bigfriendlyginger
Worth a shot, you can always rename after evolution if it doesn't. But I just tried it and finally got my vaporeon.
MichusAurelius
So I really thought this was an elaborate troll... just worked on 6 Eevee in a row among my friends, all 3 varieties. Maybe actually legit?
Thejunkfoodkid
I literally just evolved an eevee before coming onto imgur, I'm so pissed now
Moghul
Worked for Rainer on me. 1136 Vaporeon FTW
MachoManDandyLavish
Worked for me 3x
IAmPotatoHearMeRoar
Worked for me. I got my Jolteon that way! (and by the "Moves Theory" I should have gotten a Flareon.
Poxyfoxy
Mine just worked with Jolteon. It may actually be legit.
unofficialmo
How do you manage to evolve so many of them?? Ive only seen two in the last week
pikapphagy
Butter my biscuit it actually worked!
alwaysh8ted
yeah found out last night also and shared with my Pokémon Go Group and it worked for all of us
DuckMastaQuack
Worked on one eevee of mine, can't fully confirm but I named it sparky and it came out as Jolteon sooo... Yea
MrTay
It is we tested it with 20 evees
samjam10412
Worked for me!! At least for Pyro. Need more Eevee candy to do the other two.
DaPeepah
Can confirm sparky works.
theycamepresmoked
I changed mine to Pyro. It didn't do anything. Do I need to do something else?
CloudAleyna
You need to evolve it with the Eevee candy it'll work after that.
Pixlization
Fairly certain it works, Pkmn Go FB page has had every single person who tried it succeed
DeathByUnicornsandCandycorn
Worked for me and my friends as well
AlphaLimaEchoCharlie
I used this for my jolteon and flareon and had my family do it for the specific one they wanted. It works!
IGuessDinosaursArePrettyCool
No, it's bases on what move they know. Swift=jolteon, body slam=vaporeon,dig=flareon
MichusAurelius
2... jolteon. No others have failed to meet their names.
Alayska
Definitely not how it works. Had two with body slam evolve into two different eeveelutions.
Danickel0902
Not true. I evolved a Swift and Dig Eevee, they both became Jolteon.
GeroBird
Nope
Weiners
Proven false, so many times
ScreamedStableBoy
Dann that's a lot of negative points
IGuessDinosaursArePrettyCool
Ikr I tried it like 5 time and they all worked and seen multiple people with the same success.
IAmPotatoHearMeRoar
I named my Eevee with Dig "Sparky." It turned into a Jolteon.
zergzapper
Proven to be false days ago
MichusAurelius
Definitely not, we've tested that as well. This is the first thing with any semblance of correlation. In 13 attempts we have one failed... 1
Mshnik
Still unsure if elaborate troll AND all of you are playing along
whenthedinodies
Evolved 2 different Eevees named Sparky and got two Jolteons.
SubZeroWithAFever
I've scrolled for this long. The numbers check out.
demon2749
I tried this and at long last got the Vaporeon i wanted.
EvilMidnightBomberWhatBombsAtMidnight
For the hell of it I named an Eevee Sparky earlier. I was at the Vero Mall in Florida, and sure enough, I got a Jolteon.
Synabear
It's not a troll, it's an Easter egg by Niantic. 100% legit.
Pokefan11235
Just tried it with Rainer, that one worked.
CAPITALLETTERSAREMYFAVORITE
IT HAS WORKED FOR ME TOO. I AM NOT LYING TO TROLL I PROMISE.
MachineGunMorty
The all caps make you seem less trustworthy actually lol
Ljungstrum
My thoughts, exactly.
imhoots
I started playing PG but have no idea what I am doing. I keep grabbing shit and have no idea what the hell to do at a gym.
Ryannihilation
I have a few good tutorials I can find for you if you want, or you can pm me for help
imhoots
Btw which is better - volt jolt or flare? I *do* have an eve around.
purpurguin
Honestly I would just pick based on looks. But vaporeon is the best. Better attack/defense than the other two. Also if you arent near water
Ryannihilation
It depends. Jolteon is good against water type Pokemon. Flareon is good against grass, bug, etc. what is there a lot of in your area's gyms?
imhoots
I keep finding the same stuff. I have 9 eggs. Now what? And the gyms have these huge "things" to battle - no way I can beat that.
Ryannihilation
Ok, so first off, when you visit your eggs page, you can tap on one, then choose to put it in an 'incubator.' After a certain distance 1/2
Ryannihilation
2/2 of walking around, it hatches. Longer distances =rarer Pokemon.
Ryannihilation
Gyms can be tough, &if you've just started there's not much benefit. However, you can always try battling only the first pkmn repeatedly 1/2
Ryannihilation
2/2 and eventually, you'll lower the prestige enough to kick out a Pokemon. Also, remember you're fighting with six Pokemon at a time.
AuntSharron
12 of us in my local team tried it on around 30 and we got a 75% success rate. Gonna try to get our whole 250ish member squad to try for 1/2
Jonr1222
I come from the future that trick only works once
AuntSharron
2/2 better data/bigger numbers. The Pyro seems to work every time but like I said, not a big enough sample for hard evidence yet.
TotinosPizzaRolls
250ish members wtf
AuntSharron
Valor don't fuck around. We mob deep.
Pokefan11235
Is it a Facebook group thing?
TotinosPizzaRolls
I'm valor. But shit
