How to Catch and Evolve Eevee in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, remakes of 2006’s Nintendo DS exclusives Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, two of the most acclaimed games in the franchise are almost here and trainers all over the world are already gearing up and getting ready to complete their Sinnoh Pokédex. With that said, among all the Pokémon you can add to your roster in the game, the gen 1 normal type Eevee is without a doubt a fan favorite. Here’s how to catch and evolve Eevee in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl.

How to Catch Eevee in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

There are only two ways to get Eevee in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. In the first one, players need to first beat the Elite Four and complete their Pokédex. After completing it you need to go to Sandgem Town and talk to Professor Rowan, which will allow him to give you the National Pokédex. After getting the new Pokédex, go to Hearthome City and talk to Bebe. She will then give you an Eevee (lv.10). To recap here’s how to get Eevee through the first method.

How to Catch Eevee Method #1

• Beat the Elite Four.
• Go to Sandgem Town and talk to Professor Rowan to get the National Pokédex.
• Go to  Hearthome City and talk to Bebe to get your level 10 Eevee.

The second Eevee can be acquired by exiting Hearthome City towards route 212, after getting the National Pokédex. Continue south until you reach a Mansion. Once in the mansion, save your game and disable your auto-save function since you will need to reload a lot if you are not lucky. In the mansion, talk to Mr Backlot. Keep reloading until he mentions an Eevee. After he reveals that he has seen an Eevee head towards the Trophy Garden where you might be able to find an Eevee in the grass eventually. To recap here’s how to get Eevee through the second method.
