Seven is not enough! There are still plenty of types left for that adorable little fuzzy thing (is it feline? Canine? I can't even tell) to become.
Since the days of RBY, the developers have come up with more and more ways to evolve those Pokeymans other than just, y'know, trading, stones, whatever. Eevee already has three stone evolution, two happiness/time evolutions, and two location evolutions.
So how would you make more? Obviously you could do a Trade evolution, or a Hold Item evolution, maybe even a gender-specific one (and then pity the soul who tries to get a good nature/IV spread if the evolution requires a female >.>)
So far, the types of Pokemon that Eevee CAN'T become:
Normal (I mean a BETTER Normal, like with actually decent stats/movepool.)
Fighting (Eevee on two legs?)
Poison
Ground
Flying
Bug
Rock
Ghost
Dragon
Steel
Lots of types left to go. What would they do (or rather, what would you like to SEE them do?)
Some of my ideas:
Recently, I've thought it would be cool to have an item called... uh, I dunno, the "Symbiotic Stone" or something. Held item that changes the stats of the holder depending on the weather. (In Sandstorm, +defense -attack, in Rain +speed -defense, in Hail +spdefense -spattack, in sun +attack -spdefense).
Or maybe it just makes the holder's type what the weather is (Rock/Water/Ice/Fire). I dunno.
With Eevee, you could make it so that an Eevee holding the Symbiotic Stone could evolve by levelling up in certain areas. Like, if it holds the Symbiotic Stone and gains a level in a cave, it evolves to:
Terreon (Ground)
Ability: Earth Dominance - Terreon's Attack is raised (by one level) when hit by Ground attacks
Base Stats:
HP - 110
Att - 95
Def - 130
SpAtt - 60
SpDef - 65
Speed - 65
If an Eevee holding the Symbiotic Stone evolves while on an open road (like a normal Route) at daytime, it evolves into:
Zephreon (Flying)
Ability: Sky Dominance - Zephreon's Speed is raised (by one level) when hit by Flying attacks.
Base Stats:
HP - 65
Att - 130
Def - 65
SpAtt - 60
SpDef - 95
Speed - 110
If an Eevee holding the Symbiotic Stone evolves while in the Graveyard (you know, they've had one in each game), it evolves into:
Spectreon (Ghost)
Ability: Death Dominance - Spectreon's Special Attack is raised (by one level) when hit by Ghost attacks
Base Stats:
HP - 110
Att - 60
Def - 65
SpAtt - 95
SpDef - 65
Speed - 130
Inspiration for the abilities was obviously taken both from the Volt/Water/Flame Absorb abilities that the RBY Eevees have, and Electivire's Motor Drive. (Alas, poor Zephreon is sorta screwed, since who really uses Flying attacks all that much anyway?)
While all three of those have pretty decent base stats on their own (using the standard Eeveelution 130/110/95/65/65/60 spread), obviously they, like 'Vire, benefit hugely from correctly anticipating an attack and switching in on it. I know I wouldn't want to be facing a boosted Spectreon, certainly.
Anyway, what do you think? How would you like to see that adorable little critter evolve into bizarrely powerful forms? (Seriously. Leafeon does NOT look like it should have 130 base Defense) What would you like for them in terms of Stat spreads? Would Chromeon (Steel) be a tank to rival Umbreon? What would Drakeon specialize in?
I love Eevee ENTIRELY too much.
