Eevee was introduced in the first generation of Pokémon games, and it was one of the very first Pokémon that could evolve into different forms depending on the evolution method used. Eevee features notably as the title Pokémon of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee. As of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Eevee can evolve into eight different forms, and it’s one of a handful of Pokémon with a new Gigantamax Form.
What is Gigantamax Eevee?
The Gigantamax Factor is an ability some Pokemon can have, which allows them to take on huge forms with different moves than regular Dynamax Pokemon. Gigantamax Pokemon also take on a special appearance that’s different from other Pokemon of that species.
Gigantamax Eevee becomes extremely fluffy, and its ears take on a more angular appearance. Gigantamax Eevee can also use the unique move G-Max Cuddle, a powerful Normal attack that attracts opponents.
How to Get Gigantamax Eevee?
To get a free Gigantamax Eevee in Pokémon Sword and Shield, players must play Sword and Shield on a Nintendo Switch console that has save data from Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee. The save data can be on any console profile, and there is no progress requirement (you don’t have to play the game; you only need a save file).
After meeting the above criteria, head to the Wild Area Train Station at the Meetup Spot and talk to the NPCs in the back left corner. After they verify that you have save data for Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee, they will give you an Eevee with perfect IVs and the Gigantamax Factor.
Can Gigantamax Eevee Evolve?
The Gigantamax Eevee that players receive as a gift by having save data from Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee cannot evolve, similarly to the starter Pokémon from the Let’s Go series. However, these Pokémon can pass down their moves/stats via breeding.
How To Add Gigantamax Eevee To Your Pokémon Den Rotation?
Gigantamax Eevee was available in Pokémon Dens as a Wild Area Max Raid Event from May 18, 2020 through May 25, 2020. Players were able to download the Wild Area News via Mystery Gift in the game menu, and then they were able to catch Gigantamax Eevee in the Wild Area for a limited time. This event is over, with no confirmed date of returning, so there is currently no way to add Gigantamax Eevee to your Pokémon Den rotation.
