Eeveelution Project

A for fun art challenge where I try to make an Eeveelution based around every evolution method/requirement! Main Tumblr is @holydramon Total Made & Posted: 45

[eeveelutionproject]

Welcome to the Eeveelution Project!

This is a project where I make an Eeveelution for each canonical or semi-canonical evolution method.

More details are below the read more!

Things to Note:

- By evolution method, I mean any fairly unique method/requirements. So, while I won’t do one for every single level, I will count methods that specify leveling up at a certain time as a unique method.

- Spin-off exclusive methods are counted! Also, in cases where different methods are used to evolve a pre-existing Eeveelution (like how in some games Ice Stones can be used to get Glaceon), I will still be making a new Eeveelution for the new method.

- Semi-canonical evolutions mean things that are stated or shown within the series, yet not being how pokemon actually mechanically evolve in game. This covers stuff like Slowpoke evolving via a Shellder biting it’s tail.

- Yes, the above stipulations mean that I have to make around five different sun and moon based ones due to the various items for games without day and night cycles along with the stones and flutes. I’ll try my best to make them all relatively unique!

- You may use the designs I make for characters or fanart! I only ask that you credit me, you can credit this blog or my art blog (@roseatedramon). Also, please don’t repost my art, even with credit.

- I will try to keep to a weekly upload schedule, but due to the fact that this project is just for fun and I have many other projects, that may not last long. Apologies in advance!

- Tags after ‘eeveelutionproject’ on posts are simply for blog organization! I think it could be fun to be able to look through all of the eeveelutions of different types or evolution methods.

- This will be added onto as needed.

Lopeon

The Rock Horn Pokemon

Evolves via Black Augurite

—

So I kinda forgot to queue/upload the past few weeks so I may post a few today. I still need to make the dex entries for the others though.

Another mythical creature based one, this one based off the jackalope! Cause I like jackalopes. I admittedly made the sketch of the design first and ended up deciding the Black Augurite was probably most fitting.

Probably could have done more to make it a bit less “eevee with rocks” but I think it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stelleon

The Star Bear Pokemon

Evolves with a Peat Block during a Full Moon

—

A bit of a strange one! I decided for Ursaluna’s evolution method, it made sense to do one based off of Ursa Major/Ursa Minor. This influenced the star theming, plus the shapes and colors - the round ears are meant to be like a bear’s, plus the long tail alludes to the constellations being bears with long tails. The colors are also based off a black bear, as a way to fit both the night sky theming with the black main color and the brown as a connection to the ground.

Speaking of, the type. Why Ground/Psychic? Well, I felt I had to do Ground due to the Peat Block. And Psychic is often connected to stars and space. The ability Levitate let me do both while still keeping the ability to fly. I kind of justify the ground theming in that it is still connected to the Earth - existing in the boundary between Earth and the stars but not quite either way yet.

The ability Mind’s Eye just felt the most fitting since it is Ursaluna related. Alternatively, I think Illuminate would technically make a bit more sense but. that would be an incredibly lame and disappointing hidden ability.

Gets Wish upon evolution.

Waspeon

The Poison Sting Pokemon

Evolves via using Barb Barrage 20 times

—

Apologies for being a bit late posting this, didn’t get around to getting a queue’d since I’ve had a rough week.

Anyway! Our first bug type vee! Unsure how many there will end up being total, bug is a bit of a toughie. I decided a move like Barb Barrage was a great opportunity to do one since it made me think of stingers.

Design wise, I like how this turned out! I initially had wings but decided they made it a bit too busy. I also tried to make the markings act as both a wasp’s signature stripes while also giving the look of the body being segmented without actually segmenting the body. The shiny was vaguely based off ants!

I will say the evolution method is a bit of a tricky one. There’s technically three different variants of evolution based around the move ‘Barb Barrage’ since Overqwil’s evolution method is slightly different each game, but I admittedly don’t really want to do three different evolutions based on that move. For now, I am thinking of just doing this one and deciding that the other two variants are close enough they don’t need independent ones, BUT if I get other ideas I’ll go for them. Right now they’re low priority.

Griffeon

The Winged Pokemon

Evolves via Trade holding King’s Rock

-

The inevitable griffon pokemon! Always like making pokemon based off mythical creatures, especially ones that haven’t already been included in pokemon yet. Griffon and pegasus are always the main ones I’ve thought were missing, though I doubt I’ll do an eeveelution based on the latter.

There’s honestly not many evolution methods out there where I can try to justify a primarily Flying type based design, so I take the opportunity when I can. I think currently there’s only one other that I can say with certainty will be a Flying type evolution…

Probably learns Wing Attack upon evolution!

[eeveelutionproject]

Historeon

The Prehistoric Pokemon

Evolves Via Level Up knowing Ancient Power

—

Hello everyone! It’s been a bit. Don’t worry though, I’ve been working hard since my last post on here - I have nine more completed! All I need to do is make the infographics for them and then they can be queue’d up to post once a week again. Which at this point is probably my biggest barrier when it comes to making them, it’s hard to write dex entries sometimes :p

Anyway, Historeon! Not really too much to say, though something inspired by fossils and past paradox pokemon made sense for the Ancient Power evolution. To a level, I almost consider it a pair with Mecheon, with that one being a robot inspired by the future paradox pokemon.

Still figuring out an evolution move for this guy!

(Future posts will be on Saturday as normal!)

Lycaneon & Vampeon

The Wolf Beast Pokemon & The Undead Pokemon

Evolves via Level Up While Holding the Razor Claw or Razor Fang at Night

—

A bit late uploading this! Only just finished writing the pokedex entries and this blurb. I don’t have too much to note, I decided pretty early that a werewolf and vampire theme fit these two methods.

As a note for abilities, I decided to have them have a 30% boost ability for their main one and a 50% for their hidden, but you could argue that Lycaneon’s especially could be switched. Vampeon gets the new signature ability Ravenous that boosts draining moves’ power by 30%. I also would probably with Vampeon introduce a ghost type draining move, since there are so many ghost pokemon that are said to drain life force already.

Also worth noting that the blog inprogresspokemon has also done vampire and werewolf themed eeveelutions! I’d seen them before but tried not to look at them again until I had these solidly sketched out.

Alternate pose for Vampeon to show it’s “cape” extended for gliding:

[eeveelutionproject]

Hearteon & Poiseon

The Heart Pokemon & The Poison Fur Pokemon

Evolves via Heart of the Sun & Heart of the Moon respectively

—

Another sun and moon pair! These guys are based off beta/old versions of Espeon and Umbreon.

Beta Espeon used to evolve via the Heart Stone and had a yellow appearance and fully split tails. Beta Umbreon used to be a poison type with purple markings and thinner rings.

I did add some of my own flair though, particularly with Hearteon’s markings, Hearteon’s heart-shaped gem, and Poiseon’s poison drop shaped markings. I also added the dark type to Poiseon to help it fit better with the moon and added the fairy type to Hearteon to make it also a dual type.

I also referenced the gender differences they had in the Gen IV beta, where female Espeon and Umbreon had short ears. I’m glad this change didn’t get through beta, but it helped me add another detail to differentiate them further. Their shinies are also based off the Stadium 2 shinies of Espeon and Umbreon.

I will admit, I struggled slightly with their item. I almost considered using the beta Heart Stone and Poison Stone, but decided against it. I feel gameplay wise, the Shards fit best, since I could see these guys being Gales of Darkness exclusive. But, I already used the Shards and also I do think the Hearts fit nicely. Both because of Hearteon’s heart theme and because these guys are very much a tribute to Espeon and Umbreon through the years.

Also want to give a quick note to RacieBeep and how his interpretations of beta Espeon and beta Umbreon from their sprites really helped me, particularly with the whiskers and ears of Hearteon being connected and Poiseon’s eyes!

[eeveelutionproject]

for funsies since it’s the start of the year, think it’d be fun to look at some stats from last year! although I have more queued, I will be only counting ones already posted

first off, mono type vs dual type - I have made 17 mono-types and 21 dual types! so a bit more dual types than mono types.

counting the amount I’ve made per type - the top three types are…

Grass with 7, Normal with 6, and Fairy with 5!

and bottom three are…

Bug with 0, Fighting with 1, and Dragon/Flying/Poison with 2!

I will say, one of the ones tied at 2 will actually be bumped out of the bottom with the next post ;)

I made and posted 12 last year! So an average of one per month. A bit discouraging since I’d like to get them out faster, but that’s pretty good I think, especially since I have a few queue’d already (though not quite as much as I’d like).

Also, funnily enough, 4 of the Grass types were posted last year! 3 of which being the apples, so it seems the apples are what ended up pushing grass into first place.

Anyway appreciate everyone who enjoys looking at my vees! Hope you have a good year!

Blighteon

The Poison Apple Pokemon

Evolves via Sticky Apple

—

And we have reached the last of the apples! I decided really early on that I wanted to do a poison apple, since that’s one of the main things I think of when it comes to apples in the real of fantasy.

I ultimately like how this turned out, but I do think my initial sketch for it I made a while ago (that I didn’t look at again before drawing the final) made the apple elements a bit clearer. I do think it still comes across though!

Also now for one of the main reasons why I chose to have the apple moves swapped, this learns Apple Acid upon evolution!

I’m really glad I chose to swap the apple moves, because I really do think it makes far more sense for the acid move to go to the poison apple, the sweet move to go to the hard candy, and the apple throwing move to go to the basic apple.

Anyway, late happy holidays! As a bit of delayed present, the next two posts will be two paired eeveelutions in a row :)

[eeveelutionproject]

Bounteon

The Hoarding Pokemon

Evolves via level up with 999 Gimmighoul Coins

-

Decided for this evolution to do something based off the idea of dragons and how they hoard treasure! So did a draconic evolution covered in jewels, jewelry, coins, and valuable metal.

I initially planned to have the gold version be the regular colors, and the silver version be shiny, but decided the reverse made more sense. Gold is more valuable than silver after all.

Not really much more to say I think.

Pomeon

The Apple Slice Pokemon

Evolves via Sweet Apple

—

Not much to say regarding this one! It’s based off apple bunnies/usagi ringo. It wouldn’t be the only pokemon based off that either, since Victini seems to similarly be based off that!

The fairy typing is primarily just due to the fact that the apple eeveelutions are dual typed, and fairy seemed most fitting due to it’s association with desserts/sweetness along with the fact this is based on an apple bunny (bunnies have association to the moon, which are also associated with the fairy type via Moonblast/Moonlight). Normal could arguably also have been a good option though.

Anyway, the other scheduled too! Will have another non-apple post first though.

Sootheon

The Extinguish Pokemon

Evolves via Burn Heal

—

Another non-canon evolution! I know I should probably prioritize canon ones over the non-canon and semi-canon ones, but in my defense they are very fun.

Anyway - this is derived from the glitch in GSC where the Moon Ball checks if a pokemon can evolve via the Burn Heal rather than the Moon Stone. This does mean that technically, if this evolution were real, Eevee would be the only pokemon with an improved catch rate via the Moon Ball in GSC.

I chose to go with a bit of a healing aesthetic here - with the pink main color and the swoopy ears looking similar to Nurse Joy. It’s white fluff is meant to look both like smoke and the foam from a fire extinguisher.

It’s fire typing is due to it gaining a bit of an affinity to fire from being burned in order to evolve, since that’s the only way to use a Burn Heal on it. It also means it’s now immune to burns!

It learns Heal Bell upon evolution.

[eeveelutionproject]

Tangeon

The Hard Candy Pokemon

Evolves via Tart Apple

—

First of the three apples! Funnily enough, this is the first finished specifically because I had the hardest time conceptualizing it’s design. I spent enough time fiddling with it that by the time I got something I liked, I immediately went to finalizing it.

Anyway, wanted to do different types of apple related things than the Applin line, and my first thought when I think of sour apples is candy! It’s such a common candy flavor (though not one I particularly like).

Not really much more to note. I vaguely considered making up a signature Hidden Ability called “Jawbreaker” which damages pokemon using bite-based moves on it. Decided against it purely because the other apples wouldn’t have signature abilities.

Learns Syrup Bomb upon evolution.

(Yes, the apple evolution moves are being moved around to fit with the eeveelutions’ themings better. Since this is the candy evolution, it gets the candy move!)

[eeveelutionproject]

Dolpheon

The Maelstrom Pokemon

Evolves via entering a whirlpool

—

Another strange non-canon one! This one is also based on Pokemon Snap, particularly the part in the River stage where Staryu evolves by flying into a whirlpool.

Decided to just do a kind of cetaceon-esque design. Cause why not! Not really much more to say design wise. I suppose I do think I accidentally took some inspiration from the Maronians from Keroro Gunsou, purely because I think they have really nice designs.

Now you may think it learns Whirlpool upon evolution, but unfortunately that move is taken up by another future one. So, instead it learns Aqua Ring.

Whirlpool is definitely a thing it learns early in it’s movepool, though.

Quickeon

The Runner Pokemon

Evolve via level up after taking 1000 steps using Let’s Go!

—

Relatively simple one! Basically figured a step based pokemon would make sense to be speed based, and when I think speed based my first thought is electric cheetah.

Learns Agility upon evolution
