Want to find out how to get a Sylveon in Pokemon GO? It’s a good idea to have a well-rounded roster of elemental types in Pokemon GO. One of the easier ways to do this is to abuse the many different evolutions of Eevee. Sporting a different elemental evolution for each type and being one of the most common Pokemon out there, Eevee is a great way to build a roster quickly. So, how does one obtain the fairy-type, Sylveon?
Pokemon GO Sylveon Evolution Nickname
Like all other Eevee evolutions in Pokemon GO, players can obtain a Sylveon by naming their selected Eevee with a unique name. The catch with this is that this evolution method can only be done once. If a player wants a Sylveon afterward, they must do it in the traditional sense.
- Acquire an Eevee
- Change the name to Kira
- Use 25 Eevee Candy to evolve it
How to Evolve Sylveon in Pokemon Go: Traditional
For those that have already used the naming technique and want another Sylveon, they will need to use the traditional method. This involves making the selected Eevee your buddy and earning 70 hearts with it. Once all 70 hearts have been obtained, trainers can spend 25 Eevee Candy to evolve the little furball into a Sylveon.
There are a variety of activities trainers can do every day to earn hearts. By default, a Pokemon can earn 12 hearts a day. That means a Sylveon can potentially be earned in seven days.
- Walk 2 km together (up to three hearts)
- Give your Pokemon a treat (up to three hearts)
- Play together (one heart)
- Battle with your Pokemon (up to three hearts)
- PvP leagues
- Team Rocket GO battles
- Gyms
- Raids
- Take a picture of your buddy (one heart)
- Visit a new place by spinning a Pokestop you haven’t seen before (one heart)
The amount of hearts earned in Pokemon GO per day can be doubled by making the buddy Pokemon excited. The easiest way this can be done is by feeding them a poffin. This is the easiest way to make them excited, but it also requires spending money in the shop for the poffins.
Alternatively, players can make their buddy excited by getting them to 32 Mood Points. These Mood Points are acquired by interacting with your buddy. Once you’ve reached 32 Mood Points, the Pokemon will become excited. Note that each interaction has a 30-minute cooldown, thus preventing them from being spammed. Your buddy’s mood can be monitored from their buddy status screen.
- Play with your buddy (two Mood Points)
- Feed your buddy (two Mood Points)
- Take a picture of your buddy (two Mood Points)
- Battle with your pokemon (two Mood Points for each battle type)
- PvP leagues
- Team Rocket GO battles
- Gyms
- Raids
- Leader battle
- Collect presents and souvenirs (four Mood Points)
- Walk 2 km with your buddy (two Mood Points)
- Swap your buddy (two Mood Points – once per day)
