Introduction
If you’re a Pokemon Go player, chances are you’ve heard of Glaceon. This beautiful, ice-type Pokemon from the Eevee family is an excellent addition to any trainer’s collection. However, evolving Eevee into Glaceon isn’t as straightforward as evolving it into other forms. In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about catching and evolving Eevee into Glaceon in Pokemon Go.
Finding and Catching Eevee
The first step in evolving Eevee into Glaceon is, of course, catching Eevee. Fortunately, Eevee is not a rare Pokemon in the game, and you can find it in many places. Here are some tips for finding and catching Eevee:
- Eevee can be found in the wild in almost every area of the game. Keep an eye out for it while exploring.
- Eevee can be hatched from 5 km eggs. These eggs can be obtained from Pokestops and gyms.
- Eevee can also be obtained from completing certain research tasks and field research.
Once you’ve located an Eevee, the next step is catching it. To increase your chances of catching Eevee, make sure to use Razz Berries and Ultra Balls or Great Balls. Also, try to catch Eevees with high IVs. Eevees with high IVs will evolve into stronger Glaceons.
Evolving Eevee into Glaceon
Once you’ve caught a high-IV Eevee, it’s time to evolve it into Glaceon. However, unlike other Eevee evolutions, you can’t just use the standard in-game naming trick to evolve Eevee into Glaceon. Instead, you need to follow these steps:
- Ensure that Eevee is your buddy Pokemon. You can change your buddy Pokemon by tapping the profile icon, then scrolling down to “buddy.”
- Earn 70 Eevee candy.
- Change Eevee’s name to “Rea” to evolve it into Glaceon.
If you don’t have enough Eevee candy, you can obtain it by walking Eevee as your buddy Pokemon or catching more Eevees. Additionally, you can use Rare Candy to speed up the process.
Note that the evolution method varies depending on the player’s progress in the game. If you have a Glacial Lure Module, you can simply use it on a Pokestop and evolve Eevee into Glaceon while the module is active. Alternatively, if you have a Sinnoh Stone, you can use it to evolve Eevee into Glaceon after earning 25 candy.
Battle Strategies for Glaceon
Glaceon is an ice-type Pokemon, which means it’s strong against grass, flying, ground, and dragon-type Pokemon. Its best moves are Frost Breath and Avalanche. Here are some strategies for using Glaceon in battles:
- Pair Glaceon with a Pokemon that can counter its weaknesses, such as a fire-type Pokemon.
- Use Glaceon’s ice-type moves to take down ground-type and dragon-type Pokemon.
- Use Glaceon’s Quick Moves, which generate energy quickly, to charge up Frost Breath and Avalanche.
Conclusion
Evolving Eevee into Glaceon is a great addition to your Pokemon Go collection, but it requires some effort. To succeed, you need to find and catch a high-IV Eevee, earn enough candy, and follow the evolution steps carefully. Once you have Glaceon on your team, it’s important to use it strategically in battles and pair it with complementary Pokemon. With this guide, you should be well on your way to adding Glaceon to your collection.
