The evolution into Umbreon, Espeon and Sylveon involve more or less the same process. They don’t need specific stones like the other 5 evolutions. But first, let’s talk about the former two. We’ll break down the steps to evolve Eevee into Umbreon and Espeon.

As a trainer, you need to build a high friendship level with your Eevee. This can be done by walking around the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet overworld with Eevee in your party. Another way is to bond with it during picnics by using the ‘Wash’ or ‘Talk’ option. You can also send it to battles using the ‘Let’s Go’ feature. This will ensure you build Eevee’s friendship stats quickly. You will need to raise its Friendship stats to at least 160. Also, make sure you don’t teach your Eevee any Fairy-type move. Now comes the tricky part.
Once you’ve covered everything above, you will now need to make a choice between who you’d like to evolve. If you desire to have Umbreon in your team, simply level up your Eevee during nighttime. The next time you level up, it will turn into the ‘Moonlight Pokemon’ – Umbreon. If you would rather have Espeon, level up during the day. As soon as you level it up the next time, Eevee will evolve into Espeon – the ‘Sun Pokemon’. That’s all you need to do! Just ensure you don’t have any Fairy-type moves in your locker. This brings us to our next evolution – Sylveon.
How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokemon SV
Just like Umbreon and Espeon, you’ll need to build a Friendship stat up to 160 to be able to evolve into Sylveon. Use the same techniques mentioned above to do this. However, you’ll need to teach Eevee any single Fairy–type move first. Your Eevee will get opportunities to learn Fairy-type moves as it levels up. In case you forgot to teach them or made Eevee forget them, you could always make use of the HM and TM moves to teach Eeevee any Fairy-type move again.
Once that’s done, the next time Eevee evolves, it will transform into Sylveon. That’s all, it’s quite simple. The timing of the day plays no role in the evolution taking place. Do it anytime but ensure you have taught Eevee a Fairy-type move.
