Now that Gen2 is out, these are just not super common anymore like they used to be.

Anyone else wonder how different the Meta Game would be if they were their current rareness since day 1?

I probably have 20+ Vaps, Jolts, and Flareons. But I havent been stockpiling candy lately. And notice as I level my candy horde go down, and I'm not mass evolving Eevees just for xp anymore

True, I used to always have around 1200 candies while evolving random Eevees all the time, and since Gen 2 I got down all the way to 700! I'm starting to worry for the future and now I'm evolving only the good IV ones (to get useless movesets anyway most of the time).

I personally think that, considering how good her evolutions are, Eevee should have been more rare since the start. Surely not at the Rattata/Pidgey level it was for months...

Eevees for xp?! Where do you live anyway? I'm finding more of them thanks to the new tracking system, but I have around 150 candies evolving only good ones and rarely powering up any eevelutions.

The ridiculous amounts of Eevees I've caught is the only reason I'm competitive in the meta game. I've caught 846 which is 12% of all my catches. I still find quite a few, but I feel like I've found very few with good ivs. Overall, I find less post gen 2.

It is true that there are less after Gen2, but they were never so common in my area. I never evolved them for XP because there weren't as many as to waste them that way. They were common from 10k eggs, unfortunately. What made a difference for me/in my area was the "IV bug" which made easy to find wild eevee with awesome IVs. Not easy any more, so I'm keeping some great IV for future Gen4 eevolutions (did the same for espeon and umbreon)

I am sitting at 3108 candies now, not doing XP using eevee candies! Only 4 above 82%iv now awaiting some evolutions. Still see them here and there, I still catching them all the time, it is adorable anyway!

hah i have 400 or somethi g but i never had more than 500 i just use max 2 vaps and maybe 3 jolts and dont plan to max any more of them and even if its just 1 candy per km worse thing is with other pokemons that you must walk and walk for 1 candy and they were rare and now are even more like bulbasaur etc

I still see 5-10 a day without playing too seriously. When I'm on my grind (events) I catch more. They are very common still but I do believe 3 or 4 of the spinarak I see daily have replaced Eevee. Pity there aren't more Hopip and Maril (25 candy evolves)

I've caught 1375 eevees. Next highest is Pidgey at 1306. Eevee has dropped off tons lately for me also.

They are still super common here but good IV one is rare. So they just become annoying.
