Pokémon Go has finally unleashed Generation 2 on the world, populating the game with 80 new Pokémon. The servers are a little shaky right now, but the few minutes I was allowed to play the game brought me back to the goold old days of Gold and Silver. I’ve already caught a Natu, Sentret, and my personal favorite plant, Pineco. I’m still desperately trying to get myself a Murkrow, but the Pokémon Go servers have to stop going down first.
How To Get Umbreon And Espeon
I also managed to get an Umbreon and Espeon, the Dark and Psychic evolutions of Eevee. Changing your Eevee’s name to Sakura will give you an Espeon or Tamao for Umbreon. I’ve tried them both, and the trick can be used to get both evolutions. The other evolutions of Eevee can also be obtained through renaming, but only once. It seems that Niantic has let up on the restrictions needed to get your perfect elemental dog.
Espeon is a slightly stronger pocket monster than Umbreon. If you only have 25 candies and can only evolve one, I recommend getting Espeon. That might just be because I think Psychic type Pokémon are cooler than Dark types, but I'll let you be the judge.
Sakura and Tamao are characters from the Pokémon games. They are members of the Kimono sisters and can be battled in the Ecruteak Dancing Hall in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Sakura has an Espeon while Tamao has an Umbreon, big shocker there.
