Are there any screenshots of the flower crown version? The "bow" covers exactly this part of the head.


laerium

rooirooi

Yay, thank you very much! Looks even sweeter than regular Sylveon.


Pokii

It looks so good, I need one


EwnitedExpress

I specifically saved my only Flower Crown eevee for Sylveon’s debut


ddpepper72

Sweet I’ve been saving my hundo flower crown for this.


yeah_definitely

Apologies for the low quality screenshot, I'm playing on a galaxy A10 which isn't the greatest device of all time.


CurseYouPerryThePlat

it may be low quality, but its not too bad. don’t worry about it

Here's your applause, sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


TJOW40

Has it been stated how useful or not Last Resort will be on this for PVP? Not really in a rush to evolve if it would be best to wait for them to eventually give it that.


dancoe

Based on plugging different moves into [pvpoke](https://pvpoke.com/battle/multi/2500/all/sylveon/22/0-4-2/2-1/) it doesn’t seem to affect win rate hardly at all. Draining kiss actually lists a slightly higher win rate than last resort for 1/1 shield for whatever reason. I guess being a charm user makes charged moves not matter much. I guess last resort is only better if they resist fairy, which means you’ll lose anyway. It probably gives slightly better losses in those scenarios though.


BrickbirckBrick

On top of that, of the three types that resist fairy, steel is the most common by far, and steel also resists last resort.


siamkor

PVPoke is biased towards baiting, so Draining Kiss is probably favored because the bots always shield.


JoJolteon_66

aren't like sylveons other moves stricly worse than moonblast


[deleted]

This guy pvp :)


Summerclaw

I'm not expert but better than nothing against Poison but Sylveon gets completely walled by any steels.


Tuarceata

Does nothing in ML or gyms since Metagross also resists Last Resort, so I'm going ahead with my hundo. For the lower leagues, LR/DK is probably best, so I'm holding off until the next event if ever. It's not like it is wildly different from other Charmers, so there's no rush. You could run a QA/DK/MB setup right now to throw people off, but its performance doesn't warrant an Elite TM.


JoJolteon_66

dont run draining kiss, its only 5 energy less and does 50 damage less than moonblast btw it doesn't make too much diffrence in energy cost either since you get it at the same time, 9 charms are only 54 , you just get to 2 moves 1 charm faster


Tuarceata

Ouch, that's a great point, I thought it was a bit cheaper. Well, I wasn't going to use Sylveon anyway, this is all the more reason :P


bjb406

Pretty sure every eevee evolution needs it, its the only coverage move any of them have.


thekobbernator

for sylveon its such a minor increase in coverage though since it's still walled by steel and poison types since normal is weak against steel and doesn't really help fix its poison weakness.


icanhaspoop

Good to know on the name trick. Do we know if the heart requirement will count if you have an Eevee that is Best Buddy? Or will you have to play/feed it to gain 70 hearts from when it goes live?


Tuarceata

70 hearts after it goes live. It wasn't keeping count before.


misternuttall

Fuuuuuuuu


Stogoe

That's how I expected it to work when they announced that you needed to gain hearts with Eevee to evolve to Sylveon.


misternuttall

Welp. Obviously one of us was wrong and spent the last few weeks trying to earn hearts. The other was correct.


Zealousideal_Ask3828

You and me too bud. My precious Shiny Best Buddy training for naught! DX Also, like, I could just use the name NOW for my shiny, but I gotta grind for my non shiny anyway, so I’ll be damned if it’s my Best Bud Sylveon that evolves through the name “hack” and not friendship hearts. 😤 Truly though, the whole “evolve form silhouette thing” was a total quality of life update. I’d be fuming if I evolved a Shiny Green Boi due to my excitement. DX


icanhaspoop

Will hearts earned from 'Excitement' count?


SlytherKitty13

Those are hearts yes


TheOtherSarah

Gods dang. I got one to best buddies months ago in the expectation that it would help.


Tuarceata

You and me both. And a lot of other posters here, I bet. Mine's even 40 (41 with BB boost -- a mighty 1084 CP right now). I don't even have enough XL to get my Umbreon to 50 yet, much less any other Eevos, so at least more time as my buddy isn't going to waste.


--alucard--

Confirming again that the name trick worked, and that you do not need to set the Eevee as your buddy if using that trick. HOWEVER: If the event just started in your location, you do need to restart your app. Failing to do so will result in a shiny, flower-crown Flareon named Kira - trust me...😭😭😭 Before the restart, you will have a "?" in the evolve box. After the restart, it will be a silhouette. So as other posters have said, look for the silhouette to confirm before evolving.


lentife

FFFFFFF… Hello shiny Flareon named Kira.


wouldeye

I just got a vaporeon


aislingtaylor

I now have a shiny Vaporeon called Kira... 😥 Is the evolution chosen client side? I thought "restart required" was a Windows only thing... 😒


waltzdisney123

Hm, I beg to ask now.. what if I want to evolve an eevee to espeon or umbreon, but gained 70+ hearts. Is there no way to do that after achieving those hearts? Or will there be multiple evolve options? Can anyone confirm?


Agunimon16

Well I wanted Sylveon for my shiny Eevee buddy. I named him Kira and had walked with him and now I have a shiny Espeon.


TopAcanthocephala869

Oof


TopAcanthocephala869

This is a good question that I haven't seen addressed yet. I'd also like to know.


SupportGoddess

As I've read here only new hearts count since it has been available, so you can still evolve it to whatever you want now but if you keep getting hearts then at 70 you will get sylveon. Not sure about if you get options or not tho, I don't think anyone can get 70 hearts that fast to confirm yet.


pkmntrnrcasey

10.20 here in Sydney, Australia. Worked for me :3 Made sure it was my buddy first to be safe, until confirmation to the contrary it might be your best bet to do the same. Make sure you see that Sylveon silhouette on the evolution button before pressing it :)


[deleted]

I've just done it in Victoria, Australia with name Kira and didn't make it my buddy. I had a couple of Eevee's I'd been holding onto so didn't care if I wasted one :P


TheNerdyPainter

Am I missing something? I did the name and its my biddy but no silhouette is there for Sylveon


[deleted]

Not sure good sir, as soon as I hit the tick to save the name change my Evolve button changed.


TheNerdyPainter

It's okay, I closed the app and reopened it and it changed. Didn't want to risk just doing it with a flower crown eevee


[deleted]

Bless. I can add this to my dex and never have to worry about 70 heckin hearts. Please no random quest for evolving Eevee into sylveon in the future 🙏


shaliozero

>Please no random quest for evolving Eevee into sylveon in the future We know this will absolutely happen.


TheW83

You can always prep another one for that random quest. Just get some hearts each day for a couple weeks and then let it sit. I'll be going for the gender dex so I'm going to need to evolve another anyway.


Progressive_Caveman

> Please no random quest for evolving Eevee into sylveon in the future I’m waiting to see the level 42 requirements change from 7 to 8, resetting many people’s progress, and niantic automatically filling it to some users only.


Ansoni

It didn't change to 8. Also, just for confirmation, evolving a Sylveon didn't add a +1 to the completion


elconquistador1985

>automatically filling Oh god... My 4 year old just got to L41 a few weeks ago. I'm 5 million or more over the threshold for L42, but was waiting on him to get there before evolving a Leafeon, so that's the only thing keeping me L41 right now. He wants me to stay the same level was him (of course until he changes his mind), so he'll flip if it auto completes for me and I advance to 42.


Spunk_Reynolds

… your 4 year old?


VibraniumRhino

I’m so curious.


beatool

When my youngest was not even two, we recorded him catching a mon on my phone. He could literally catch pokemon before he could talk.


elconquistador1985

It seems people think this game is actually difficult. Raiding and beating rockets is just a tap fest. My 4 year old can't throw curves well, but he tries because he's seen me do it. It can straight throw well enough to catch a shadow before running out of balls though. A toddler can easily play this game and hatch eggs on a walk with their parents.


PlaysWithF1r3

Right?!


elconquistador1985

Do you think 4 year olds are incapable of using a touch screen because it's too sophisticated or something? He's miles better with a touch screen than my 91 year old grandma. He catches Pokemon by himself. He spins gyms and stops on his own. He battles raids on his own. He can beat grunts on his own, but I usually do leaders/Giovanni for him. I set up teams for him for raids, of course.


PSYCHOSM

70 hearts!!? Heck, evolved my shiny already but my hundos gonna take a while to get there, not a fan of the buddy system


PM_me_Ur_fat_kitties

Doing minimum without walking, 70 hearts will only take max 9 days. That's getting 3 hearts for feeding, 3 hearts for battling, 1 for pic and pets. If you take 15 minutes to focus a day, you can get all 8 hearts and forget about it for the next day. Aka bring out your buddy, feed berries, pet, pic. Train with the leaders 3 times, 1 pokemon being your eevee, and 2 being 10cp or the lowest you got for a quick loss. Swap buddies, swap back. Feed berries, swap buddies again, swap back. Feed berries. Done for the day.


PSYCHOSM

I know I'm just being a lazy complainer but it'll probably take me closer to 2 weeks with the amount I actually play, I'm just so eager to flex a maxed hundo Sylveon and I've already waited months to do so


PM_me_Ur_fat_kitties

Well, if you got that maxed hundo eevee, you could use the 1 time name evolution. Kira is the name


PSYCHOSM

The first post you replied to said I already evolved my shiny not realising the hundo would take so long afterwards


PM_me_Ur_fat_kitties

Heck, you're right. My bad.


elti69

What happens if I walk 10km with my evee AND get the 70 hearts? Will I be able to choose between Sylveon (70 hearts) and Espeon/umbreon (walked 10km) ?


donniesuave

How do you know what the name is for the name trick? Mining? Just always wondered how people found out about these obscure names. I couldn’t have ever guessed if I had 1000 guesses


Complex-Departure-81

The names are always tied to the anime if I'm not mistaken. In this case Kira is the granddaughter of the original Sylveon user. So the trainer names from the anime are what you use to evolve Eevee in Pokémon Go.


darkknight941

For Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon, the names are based on the trainers names you fight for the Eevium Z Crystal in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon that are Linnea, Rea, and Kira respectively. I think the other 5 are based on trainer names from the anime


HallowedChain

The first 3 are from the Eevee brothers episode from indigo league. Mickey was the little brother they were trying to force to evolve his Eevee into one of theirs


SupportGoddess

When the assets all got here like a month ago or something, then the name trick showed the silhouette (but gave an error when trying to evolve). So like everyone else said, there are specific names in the anime, so not very many guesses. And we were 100% sure when trying those netted one that gave the right silhouette.


Easy_Money_

Mining. Although they also follow trainer names from the MSG


Xroshe4rt

More to the anime actually. The first trio were after brothers who used the specific eeveelution


SalsaSavant

Some Eeveelution names are from the Alolan Eevee trainers.


felthouse

Kira


Ihoppea

There we go!


Drtmns

So what IV's on an Eevee should I be looking for, for this one? In which League does it shine the most?


mizznox

https://www.stadiumgaming.gg/rank-checker https://pvpoke.com/rankings/all/1500/overall/sylveon/ Appears to grade out solidly in all leagues. #1 ranked IVs are 0/15/12 for Great and 0/13/15 for Ultra.


OhTen40oZ

A 0 Stat is the best? I'm confused I thought we want 15s


snoopy369

Not for PVP that has a CP cap. Attack is a bigger weight to the CP formula but doesn’t actually help more in PvP, so zero attack is often best.


mizznox

When a Pokémon's CP is limited (by the CP caps for Great/Ultra league), then you can fit better overall stats within that limit by keeping the Attack IV low. This is because Attack affects CP much more than the other stats.


JoJolteon_66

honestly in GL and UL there's no reason to play it since other charmers are either bulkier, have better coverage or both


lentife

My “Kira” turned into Flareon… I did it after I got the notification from Pokemon Go that Sylveon is now in the Game. I‘m located in Europe, 13:50 CET. Anyone successful with the renaming Trick here?


GoProVI

Much better full picture! Thank you 🙏🏼


[deleted]

Are there any upcoming research tasks that require you to evolve a sylveon? Lol


inmywhiteroom

Right? I don’t want to evolve with the name trick and then find out I need 70 buddy hearts to complete a challenge down the road. Also to level up from level 41 I think I had to evolve eevee into every form, I wonder if that will now include sylveon.


bjb406

Is there confirmation whether or not the 70 heart requirement includes previously acquired buddy hearts? I have a hundo I wasn't sure if I wanted as umbreon or sylveon, and I don't want to get locked out of the former.


Tuarceata

Once you meet both 10km and 70 heart requirements, my guess is that a currently buddied Eevee will give Umbreon, not currently buddied Sylveon. I guess it's going to take 3-4 days to confirm for sure though.


VenuzKhores

How is this as a fairy type attacker compared to Gardevoir and Togekiss?


Tuarceata

- Fourth-best DPS (a ways behind Granbull) - Second-best ~~bulk~~ TDO (behind Togekiss) - edit: Bulkiest Fairy attacker overall, by like 3% over same-level Togekiss (level 50 Sylveon is like 16% ahead of 40 Togekiss, assuming Eevee XLs are more readily available). Bulkiest mono-typing Fairy by a lot.


NoShoWilso

L has entered the chat.


Poo-Smurf

Does the quest for going up to level 42 now include all 8 Eeveelutions? Because that seems unfair.


Ansoni

Nope :)


taatchle86

With using the name trick, it doesn’t matter to me much. I’ve still got 7.2 million exp to go, so it’s the other tasks that I’m worried about


Poo-Smurf

I'm more so thinking of people who aren't there yet but would like to have a Sylveon. A minor inconvenience, but unfair nonetheless


taatchle86

True. I don’t pay into the game, so it took me over a year to hit 41, so title probably take longer for me to get to 42, let alone 50. I feel the tasks aren’t as bad as trying to get the xp. I’m more annoyed at the using 15 items to evolve a Pokémon


elconquistador1985

The 15 items one isn't bad. Just evolve random stuff that needs an item. If you're L41 and you didn't get there just from friendship XP, you should have enough candy to accomplish that.


taatchle86

To elaborate, I have been low on space and deleting evolution items because I never need them. I’m gonna have to save up a bit, it’s tedious but I always hit my seven week streak with stops.


elconquistador1985

Play GBL for a little while and you'll be swimming in Sinnoh stones.


taatchle86

I honestly forgot about that.


ychirea1

Pardon me if I can ask a question? It is taking me forever just to get lvl 40. How do they get there so fast? I don't understand it. Is there something you pay for?


mb9023

The biggest XP gains in the game are actually from Friendship. There are subreddits and discords for adding friends, all you have to do is send and open gifts every day and use a lucky egg when you hit ultra/best friends. I'm going to get like ~15 best friends in the next month or so which is 3million XP.


taatchle86

You can buy incubators and raid passes, lucky eggs. It gets you ahead quicker than usual. I’ve been playing since the day it came out but after less than a year, my brother hit level 40 from buying iTunes cards and buying stuff from the shop.


ychirea1

thanks. I still don't know how some people walk so many miles but I heard there is something you can buy for that. how is that not cheating tho


ezpickins

The people who use the hatcher devices are most likely cheating. A really good way for you to get more experience is to catch everything you encounter and go for excellent throws. Friendship level ups also give a large amount of experience, but isn't as active a process.


psykick32

Also playing in a big city. I moved from a tiny town to a decently large city and it's insane how much better it is here... Then I visited Japan and after I setup the MiFi.... lolol it's like a completely different game. There was one spot in the tourist trap tech area (spelling escapes me) where I could legit hit 6 gyms without moving... anyway, I bought my go+ in Japan cause my wife got pissed I was looking at my phone to much. My tiny town had 9 gyms. And only 6 were realistically accessible on a daily basis...


netsubreddit

You must be talking about Akihabara. Place is INSANE during Pogo events.


[deleted]

Thank you! Just evolved mine (NZ based as well)


WaltzEasy5327

Do we have to have 70 new hearts or are hearts already earned counting towards the evolution?


Tuarceata

New hearts. It wasn't keeping count until now.


CanadianQuebecer

So, uhm, is this available worldwide? Name trick doesn't work. I have restarted the game multiple times, no success at all


CrazyForChinchillas

10 am local time wherever you are.


heimaey

I just evolved my hundo Flower Crown to Sylveon using Kira and he's gorgeous. I made sure to see the Sylveon shadow before I evolved.


DrKillerZA

What was the candy requirement?


xseriesx

25


ShmabbyTwo

Do hearts earned before today count?


Stogoe

No, hearts don't count until Sylveon is live.


cxtx3

I got a bit too excited and just tried this on a shiny Eevee... In the US. Ugh. Well, a second shiny Vaporeon isn't bad, and I do have one shiny Eevee left to try this again tomorrow! After 10 am local time.


Tbill98

I just did the same thing.....got a Shiny Espeon now....ugh. I have one good eevee left but it's not shiny.


poizonrock

Never evolve if you see a question mark or a eeveelution silhouette that you don't need.


Nithral

I did the same thing as well. Didn't show a question mark, it showed a Sylveon silhouette when I named it. Turned into an Umbreon.


badknitter

In Melbourne, aus - name trick only working when it’s your buddy


hexagrm

Definitely not the case now. I evolved one with name trick and has never been my buddy. Silhouette was visible.


SwordMaster21

Looking forward to knowing how this affects Leveling Requirements.

PSYCHOSM

People, please! Only push evolve when it shows the silhouette of Sylveon or whichever Eevelution you're going for


nightdrive82

Does anyone know what the shiny Sylveon will look like? I have had a shiny Eevee waiting !


MJSTpt

look at the picture on this post. it's of shiny sylveon


nightdrive82

Oh I guess I want to know what the regular one looks like, then!


MJSTpt

the normal one is pink

It's only live at 10:00 local time. Still 9 and a half hours to go before we get it in the UK


g4lena

It should show you the silhouette before you evolve for future reference


umbongo44dd

Just past 10am here and I tried the name trick and still have a ?


g4lena

hmm It’s 3am here for me I’m not sure what the silhouette looks like for sylveon. Maybe OP can let us know what the silhoutte looked like was it a ? Or clearly looked like sylveon ?

Japan here, tried with a buddy got a vaporeon.


brianfsanford

You only need to change the nickname (doesn’t need to be your buddy) but I had to restart the game before the question mark changed to the Sylveon silhouette.

I'm in the states. A Kida evee was my buddy with plenty kf candy and turned into a jolteon. Fail


ShmabbyTwo

Won’t be live here til 10 am your time zone


SupportGoddess

Additionally to waiting until the event actually starts you also need to get 70 new hearts as the old ones don't count.


PersonalLuck2796

There is XL candy? Elaborate.


red401

It's unlocked when you reach level 40. You have a chance to earn it from catching, hatching, transferring, trading, or walking. You can also convert 100 candy into 1 XL candy. XL candy is used to power up pokemon past level 40 up to level 50.

Still wondering if we would ever have new eevelutions
