Evolving Eevee in Pokemon GO can be a tricky affair, depending on which evolution players want. Sometimes, players require it for Special Research tasks, such as the one involving Celebi. There are a couple of objectives that revolve around Eevee, with one asking players to evolve Eevee into Espeon, and another asking them to evolve Eevee into Umbreon.
Like other Eevee evolutions, there is a name trick that’s commonly used in Pokemon GO to control Eevee’s evolution. For Umbreon, players need to give Eevee the nickname Tamao and evolve it. However, the name trick only works for the first time, so some players may be wondering about another method they can use to evolve Eevee into Umbreon.

How to Evolve Eevee Into Umbreon Without the Name Trick in Pokemon GO
To evolve Eevee into Umbreon without using the name trick, players first need to make Eevee their buddy Pokemon. After that, players need to walk a total of 10km with Eevee as their buddy, and then wait for it to be nighttime. Make sure that it’s nighttime in Pokemon GO, as the night sky in the game world is dark, and then evolve the Eevee that’s assigned as your buddy Pokemon. If all the requirements are met, then that Eevee should evolve into Umbreon.
Players won’t run into the step to evolve Eevee into Umbreon until they’ve completed the first four steps to the Celebi Special Research quest. Prior to that, they will have to evolve Eevee into Espeon, and as one might imagine, the same exact method will work, except instead of evolving Eevee at night, players need to do it during the day.
Another objective for this step in the Celebi Special Research quest actually asks players to walk with Eevee as their buddy for 10km anyway, so players can complete two objectives at once. Then, all they’ll need to do to complete the step is trade a Pokemon, which should be as easy as finding a friend nearby willing to trade.
Now that players know that they can evolve Eevee into Umbreon without using the name trick, what they need to do in order to complete the Celebi Special Research should be more apparent.
