Does the Umbreon/Espeon evolution procedure work with just 2 candies during the rock event?
I have a large number of Vapereon, Flareon and Jolteons, but only one Espeon and one Umbreon, so I thought I would use the Adventure Week to evolve a second one of each. My understanding was that I had to make my chosen Eevee my buddy, walk it until I gathered two candies and then evolve it at night for Umbreon or during the day to Espeon while it is still my buddy. So I made an Eevee my buddy, walked it until I got two candies tonight (only 1.25 km x 2 during the event) and then, after confirmation of the award of the second candy, evolved it and got - a Vaporeon. Now it is a nice Vaporeon, but not the Umbreon I wanted. So maybe the evolution trick does not require obtain 2 candies, but rather 2 candies with 5 km of walking for each, not some easy/sleazy 1.25 km x 2 during an event. Has anybody else tried the Eevee evolution to Umbreon/Espeon during the event? If so, what were your results?
Answers
when they code it though I doubt that given that usually 10km = 2 candies that they have
IF distance = 10km
AND IF candies gained = 2
AND Time = X
esp considering I doubt they would even track candies gained and we know that they track distance walked with buddy. So the code is probably just has
if distance = 10km
because the second line would usually be redundant.
And all the failures i know of are when people walked it 10km then unbuddied before evolving. I don't know of any that walked 7.5 unbudied, rebuddied and walked say 3 km and evolved.
(I don't feel like wasting 10km to try it out though)
