Given that Eevee is one of the most popular Pokémon of all time, it should come as no surprise to learn it’s obtainable in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. As is the case with the vast majority of other Pokémon games though, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s easy to come by.
Eevee can be caught fairly early on in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, meaning that Eeveelution fans won’t have to wait until halfway through the game before gaining access to their favourite elemental fox. While evolution stones don’t grow on trees, finding the right one definitely isn’t impossible.

After putting a significant amount of time into Legends: Arceus already, our job is to make sure that the people scouring Hisui for Eevee — you included! — can capture it as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Here’s everything you need to know about where to find Eevee in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Where to find Eevee
At the time of writing, we have discovered two ways of encountering Eevee so far, one of which is far more reliable than the other.
The first method involves going to the Obsidian Fieldlands during the day. Weirdly, we’ve only managed to find Eevee once here. After spending some time wandering around Horseshoe Plains, everybody’s favourite Poké Fox popped its head out of the long grass right under our noses. We failed to catch it this time and haven’t seen it again since, regardless of the time of day we search at. We’re unclear if there was some other variable at play that caused it to show up on this occasion or if it was all a dream. Naturally, we hope it’s the former.
Fortunately, the second method is much more reliable and allows you to catch multiple Eevee at once. Pokémon Legends: Arceus sometimes sees the emergence of strange phenomena called space-time distortion fields, which are large, semi-spherical structures that shroud a small area in purple mist. When you spend a long time out on an expedition, you’ll often get a prompt that one of these fields has opened — when this happens, make a beeline for it.
Space-time distortion fields attract a huge number of rare and powerful Pokémon, as well as valuable items — including evolution stones. One of the Pokémon who almost always shows up here is Eevee, to the extent that we’ve been reliably catching around two Eevee per distortion field visit.
If you’re willing to embark on a few long adventures and are patient enough to wait for these fields to crop up, you should be able to get all your favourite Eeveelutions in no time.
