Fire type Eevee in Tera Raid battle.
Unlike previous games in the main Pokémon series, Scarlet and Violet made the fan-favorite Eevee quite difficult to catch. Only appearing in sparse small areas and with very low spawn rates, trying to evolve the octet of Eeveelutions has never been more difficult. But this weekend, the games first Tera Raid Battle Event should make catching the slayer that much easier.
At any other time, if you want an Eevee, you’ll need to head to Western Province Area 3, Southern Province Area 2, or the path on the way to the Pokémon League. But this weekend after Thanksgiving, it was announced that the Tera Raid Battle Event will feature the Eevee Spotlight.

Running from today, Friday the 25th at 11am until Monday the 28th at 10.59am, Eevee will be much more likely to appear in Tera Raid Battles – the ones triggered by approaching the large glowing crystals, which shoot huge beams of light up into the sky. Which means not only will Eevees be easier to find, but you’ll also have the chance to collect a bunch of them with different Tera types – meaning they’ll go from a normal type to one of 19 others.

There is one small caveat, but not a major one. In order for the Raid Battle event to trigger in your game, your Switch will need to be connected to the internet long enough to download the latest Poké Portal News, which should download automatically if you’re already online. And no, this has nothing to do with the paid Switch online subscription, so don’t worry about that. All free.
With an Eevee under your belt, you’ll probably want to start thinking about how to evolve them into their eight different forms. (All my hopes for a ninth Paldean Eevee seem to have been dashed.) Here are some helpful tips for getting all eight eeveelutions:
The story continues
Flareon: Give your Eevee a Flareon.
Glaceon: Give your Eevee an Ice Stone.
Jolteon: Give your Eevee a Thunder Stone.
Leafeon: Give your Eevee a Leaf Stone.
Vaporeon: Give your Eevee a Water Stone.
Espeon: You need your Eevee at a high friendship level, make sure it doesn’t know any fairy moves, and then have it evolve during the day.
Umbreon: High friendship again, don’t let him learn fairy moves and then have him evolve at night.
Sylveon: Once again, high friendship level, but this time make sure it knows a fairy move, then evolve it day or night.
Combined with Tera Types from Tera Battles, it’s going to get incredibly complicated! Good luck!
