The video delves into the strategic evolution of Eevee in Pokémon Sleep, assessing which evolutions can optimize gameplay based on their abilities and specific scenarios. Key points include the benefit of Eevee's Berry Finding S skill, making it versatile in berry farming and ingredient collection. Jolteon's speed is highlighted for quick berry farming, though it lacks specialist abilities compared to Raichu. In contrast, Glaceon and Umbreon, despite slower speeds, offer stronger berry utilization and skills beneficial in mid to late game stages, particularly in Snowdrop Tundra.
The importance of choosing evolutions like Flareon for Top Hollow, which aligns with fire-type specialty, is compared to Vaporeon and Totodile's roles in early stages at Cyan Beach. The strategic use of Sylveon for team healing, superior to Wigglytuff, emphasizes the need for high skill stats rather than speed. Espeon's generalist skills and faster base frequency make it a valuable evolution, while Leafeon is deemed less effective due to inefficient healing and lower overall speed and berry strength.
Concluding, the video recommends generalists like Sylveon and Espeon for skill-focused teams while cautioning against evolving Eevee into Leafeon. The creator invites viewers to engage with additional content and join their Twitch sessions for further discussions and gameplay.

In this segment of the video on Pokémon Sleep, the presenter addresses the topic of Eevee and its evolutions, focusing on which one is the best choice. The discussion is tailored for advanced players, relying on an understanding of previous content. A specific example Eevee, submitted by a viewer named Shadow Night, illustrates key points. The Eevee in question has a valuable skill, Berry Finding S, making it a versatile Pokémon. The presenter advises disregarding late-game sub-skills at level 50, 75, and 100, given their current inaccessibility and potential future game changes. Instead, the focus remains on the Eevee’s abilities at levels 10 and 25, emphasizing beneficial natures that enhance speed and help, while downplaying the impact of reduced energy recovery if adequate support is available. The goal is to determine the optimal evolution pathway for this versatile Eevee based on its skill set and nature.
00:03:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on optimizing berry farming using different Pokémon evolutions, specifically Eevee’s evolutions. Jolteon is highlighted as the fastest evolution, sharing the same base speed as Raichu and Gengar, making it highly efficient in berry farming, especially if the berries are Jolteon’s favorite. However, Jolteon lacks the berry specialist ability, making a Raichu with Berry Finding S potentially more effective. The usefulness of the skill “Extra Helpful” is debated, with some considering it less beneficial compared to other skills, such as Espeon’s “Charge Strength M.” The rapid berry farming ability of Jolteon is noted, but its overall effectiveness is questioned due to competition and alternative options.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on comparing the abilities and efficiencies of different Pokémon, namely Jolteon, Glaceon, and Umbreon, particularly in relation to their speed and the effectiveness of Berry utilization. Jolteon stands out due to its high speed, which allows it to maximize the use of Berries, but its main skill is somewhat lacking. On the other hand, Glaceon and Umbreon, despite being slower, provide more Berry strength per Berry, especially as their levels increase. The video highlights that while Jolteon might be overall better in some rough calculations, Glaceon and Umbreon have superior main skills which can be more beneficial in certain contexts. The importance of maintaining higher energy levels for more efficient farming is also emphasized, with an example of Umbreon keeping its energy up through its skill specialization.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on selecting the appropriate Pokémon for specific tasks and game stages. For a pure skill build, using Umbreon might not be effective unless you are using Berry finding skills. Umbreon and Glaceon are highlighted, with Glaceon providing additional ingredients for cooking and being suitable for mid to late game due to its utility in Snowdrop Tundra. The importance of favorite berry types is discussed, especially how Glaceon and Umbreon align with the favorite berries of Snowdrop Tundra Snorlax. Comparisons are made between other Pokémon like Spiel, Houndoor, Larvitar, Absor, and Sableye in terms of berry finding efficiency and evolution investment. The segment emphasizes Glaceon’s and Umbreon’s value in later stages and specific contexts within the game.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the strategy of using an Eevee in the game. While evolving Eevee into one of its evolved forms like Glaceon or Umbreon can offer benefits such as increased skill levels, faster speed, and higher inventory capacity, it’s noted that an unevolved Eevee can still be quite useful. Specifically, Eevee’s main skill is advantageous in the early game as it allows for the collection of more ingredients when inventory space is limited. The speaker also compares Eevee’s skill to that of Vaporeon, the only Eeveelution with a similar early game benefit. However, Vaporeon, as a water type, is deemed less effective due to its specialization in cyan Beach and limited use beyond that. The discussion includes personal insights on ingredient management and how the necessity for pot space changes as one progresses in the game.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for using specific Pokémon in the game. They highlight that Totodile, a berry specialist Pokémon, can be a more efficient choice than Vaporeon for early stages, particularly for water-type Pokémon due to the game’s abundance of water types. For Cyan Beach, berry specialists make the setup easier compared to Top Hollow or Snowdrop Tundra. Vaporeon can still be a viable early-game option, but it faces competition.
The speaker then transitions to Flareon, suggesting it as a strong choice for Top Hollow thanks to its fire type berry specialty, which matches well against ground and rock types found there. They compare Flareon to Cyndaquil, noting Flareon’s superior skills and overall team contribution, especially since Cyndaquil’s main skill isn’t as effective. Flareon is faster than many other Pokémon but slower than Jolteon and Typhlosion, making it a solid middle-ground choice until resources are available to evolve Cyndaquil to Typhlosion. Variety in team composition is recommended to diversify ingredient drops.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the strategic use of Flareon for tackling Berry-type Pokémon, especially when limited by options like a single Cyndaquil or Charmander. They emphasize that at some point, players will stop focusing on Berry types, suggesting that limiting an Eevee’s evolution based on its current area diminishes its potential.
Sylveon is highlighted as a versatile evolution good for any situation, akin to Wigglytuff but with superior healing abilities. The speaker mentions that while Sylveon is more effective and faster at restoring team energy, the ideal Eevee for this evolution needs high skill stats rather than speed or Berry-finding capabilities. The point is made clear that the current high-speed Berry farming Eevee in discussion should not evolve into Sylveon; instead, another Eevee with better skill-focused traits should be chosen for that purpose.
00:21:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on the evolutionary benefits of Espeon and Leafeon for an Eevee based on their skills and utility. Espeon is highlighted as a skill-focused evolution, with a fast base frequency that makes it faster than Flareon by five minutes. While Espeon doesn’t benefit berry finding, it is valuable for its main skill, which levels up upon evolution, leading to powerful strength increases (e.g., from 880 to 2300). Espeon can be a generalist in any team if the main skill is leveled up. Conversely, Leafeon is considered the most useless evolution currently because its main skill, which heals energy, is less effective than Sylveon’s and often results in inefficient self-healing. Thus, Leafeon’s utility is limited unless specific berry typing is needed on Green Grass Isle.
00:24:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the inefficiency of using Leafeon as a helper Pokémon for team healing in comparison to other Pokémon. They highlight that Leafeon heals itself 20% of the time, which is not productive as it only restores energy to one Pokémon randomly, often not the most effective team member. This makes it less efficient than Sylveon, which restores more energy to the team collectively. Additionally, Leafeon has lower speed and Berry strength compared to other evolutions like Umbreon and Glaceon. Given the abundance of other strong grass-type Pokémon, the speaker argues that evolving Eevee into Leafeon is generally not advisable. Instead, they recommend considering evolutions like Umbreon, Glaceon, and Flareon, with Sylveon or Espeon as generalists for skill-focused teams. The speaker concludes by noting that this video is their most comprehensive discussion on Pokémon sleep so far, suggesting viewers refer to previous videos for additional context.
