Pokemon GO: Evolving Eevee into Vaporeon

Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokemon, has been part of the Pokemon franchise since the very beginning, starting with Pokemon Red and Blue. Throughout the series, Vaporeon could be obtained by using the Water Stone item on their Eevee. In Pokemon GO, Vaporeon is also obtainable. However, due to the absence of evolutionary stones, some players wonder how to add Vaporeon to their collection

Evolving Eevee into Vaporeon

Eevee can evolve into Vaporeon through a couple of methods:

• Nicknaming your Eevee - Nicknaming your Eevee "Rainer" and then evolving it with 25 candies is a garenteed way to evolve it into a Vaporeon
• Evolving Regularly - Collecting 25 Eevee candies and evolving your Eevee can sometimes let it evolve into Vaporeon. However, it requires a bit of luck as evolving it regularly allows Eevee to evolve into one of the 3 original evolutions

Though most players choose the simpler route of nicknaming their Eevee to get the guaranteed evolution they want, there is always a possibility of getting a Vaporeon through evolving Eevee regularly.
