Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events
Fun fact: Eevee evolutions need specific tricks — nickname or buddy methods change by generation.
Invest tip: Ice Shard + Avalanche is the usual Ice kit; Last Resort is the Eevee CD exclusive. Shadow Glaceon is the raid DPS lean — remove Frustration before investing.
