How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon in Pokemon Legends Arceus

First things first, you’re going to need an Eevee. If you don’t have one, check out our guide for how to find and catch the Gen I ‘mon easily.

Follow the steps below to evolve the Normal-type into Sylveon in Pokemon Legends Arceus:

  1. Level your Eevee to level 18 where it will learn the Fairy-type move Baby Doll Eyes. Make sure the move is equipped by checking its Summary.
  2. While you’re leveling it, keep it in your Party at all times. It needs to have a high Friendship Level to be able to evolve, otherwise the prompt won’t appear.
  3. You’ll know when the Pokemon is ready to transform when its Poke Ball in your Satchel menu flashes.
  4. Click the ‘mon, then choose “Evolve” > “Do it!” to make it morph into Sylveon.

Finish the request for Belamy, who stands just north of the Pastures, by showing him a Pokemon you’ve befriended before.
