3 Tips To Get Shiny Espeon Pokemon Go

You can evolve to espeon shiny when you want. Because these Eeveelutions are not random, so here are the 3 easy tips to get espeon shiny Pokemon Go. 

1. Use Name Trick to Get Shiny Espeon

There is always a chance that new shiny Eeveelutions are released in-game eventually. So hold onto a few Eevee and evolve it again and again.

2. Use The Buddy Trick to Get Shiny Espeon

Walk with buddy Eevee for 10km (earning 2 candy alongside) and then try to evolve it into shiny espeon during the day. When we say the day, it means the daytime in the game, not in real life.  You need to notice the colour of the sky during the game. During the night, it can be evolved to Umbreon. However, there is a crucial part of this trick: evolution always happens with Eevee as your buddy. This Eevee should still be your buddy, and most of the players ignore it often.
