How to get Sylveon in Pokémon Go

Sylveon is one of the many evolutions that Eevee can become if you follow the exact steps you need to become that particular evolved form in Pokémon games. In Pokémon Go, you have to go through similar complex steps, but these steps are different because Pokemon Go and traditional Pokemon games do not have the same items. Of the eight evolutions of Eevee, Sylveon is not available in Pokémon Go.

Sylveon is a Fairy-type Pokémon, which means it's one of the few types of Pokémon that are super effective against a Dragon-type. It first appeared Pokémon X and Yes versions set in the Kalos region. As of this writing, Pokémon Go is still featuring Pokémon from the Unova region, which has Pokémon from the Black and White versions. Sylveon will likely not be available until the Kalos region makes an official appearance.

The traditional method of transforming an Eevee into Sylveon involves that you gain a great friendship with them, which you gain by fighting with them and having them in your party. Evolving Eevee into Sylveon in Pokémon Go will work differently, but it might look the same. Based on the game's current mechanics, you'll likely need to increase Eevee's buddy level and walk around with him to receive a Sylveon. This information is unconfirmed and pure speculation.

We will update this guide when Sylveon becomes readily available in Pokémon Go. We may see its release sooner before the Kalos region becomes available. Developer Niantic has been known to release Pokémon ahead of its region's official release, as Galarian Pokémon being available through limited-time events.
