Espeon
So I was able to evolve into Espeon once using the name trick. Which was dumb of me because it wasn't a very good mon with good stats. I've evolved prolly 30 Evees since then using the name trick or not using the name trick still no Espeon I even named one ever Sakura and walked 10k nothing. Any advise?

The conditions
- Buddy and walk the Eevee for 10 km
- Keep the Eevee as your buddy
- Evolve from the buddy screen
- Evolve while having good GPS signal
- Evolve during night time for Umbreon and day time for Espeon
If you fulfill all 5 conditions, you should get the desired result every single time. I have evolved 4 Umbreon without fail.
This was probably why, assuming your GPS signal was good at that time...
Better safe than sorry I'd say and just do everything needed since it worked fine for me (and many others...).
If it required me hitting my head and rubbing my tummy at the same time, I'd do that too.
I'm saving my "name" for a higher IV one myself, but wanted another counter to the slew of Blisseys/Snorlax out there.
