Yeah, I do this all the time. Here's the big thread on it.

PS: The original discovery, afaik.

Only once, and it appears to have worked. But I'll withhold judgment til I've done a few and it worked every time.

I've only tried it once and it seemed to work. Haven't gotten enough candy to evolve a second one yet!

Worked when I tried it (got a Vaporeon after naming Eevee "Rainer")

Seconding, Rainer also worked for me.

Yes but the catch is you can't do the same evolution/name twice in a row, you have to switch it up.

Is it in a row? Or just not twice ever.

I think in a row.

I'll try again later then thsnks

Update: might be ever. 3 vaporeons in a row followed by 2 flareons. Fuck em all.

I'm 3/3 for evolving Eevee into VapeLords... could be RNG, but it seems to work every time.

Name it Rainer, close and reopen app, then evolve.

I just did 2 in a row this morning, BUT, I played it safe:

  • Named first Eevee "Rainer"
  • Restarted app
  • Evolved Rainer into Vaporeon
  • Renamed the evolved "Rainer" to "Vaporeon"
  • Restarted app
  • Renamed second Eevee "Rainer"
  • Restarted app
  • Evolved second Rainer into Vaporeon

Its still possible to get two in a row, but that's due to RNG luck not the naming. I've gotten 3 Vaps in a row.

I've gotten it to work with all three names

Just name it one of the three names and evolve no other steps necessary

It works

So I've evolved three of them, all trying the trick. It worked the first two times, but failed on my third attempt. Possibly because it makes you have all three of them first before you can choose to double up on one type.

Evolved one of each using the name method.

Worked for all three for me. They patched it so it only works the first time (i.e. you can only control once for each of the three evolutions) and after that it's back to chance.
