Just got a 100 iv Eevee and have a question

Which evolved form will be the most useful including Leafon and glaceon?

I know there will be another one in gen 6, but will nantic add more evolved form for eevee in the future? Say, one for each element type.

Niantic is not responsible for the creation of new Pokemon. Whether we see more evolutions for the different types is dependent on if GameFreak creates more in future generations (Gen 8+). There is zero way of knowing if we'll see more or not.

Between the two from Gen 4 they'll be roughly as relevant, with odds favoring Glaceon a little more. Glaceon is guaranteed to get a good moveset assuming they stick to the monotype movesets they've repeated for the current Eevee evolutions. Even if Mamoswine and/or Weavile end up better than it it's better than any ice type currently in game.

Leafeon will also be good but faces a lot more competition from the grass-type department. It won't be as good as FP Venusaur and faces challenges from newcomers Tangrowth and potentially Roserade as well. Grass type as a whole faces competition from electric and water types as well, only being favored when a double weakness is present.

At the end of the day these two will likely fall into the role of every other Eeveelution (sans Umbreon); fantastic easy to obtain budget options that will fall short to more premier specialists.

As for your hundo, if you plan to save it it'll probably come down to immediate needs; if a grass type attacker is needed first go with Leafeon. If ice, then Glaceon. Alternatively Espeon is a solid choice, though with Abra being everywhere for the event it might not be the most sound choice at the moment.

Thanks. I dont think I will consider Espeon because I dont see any legendaries that are weak to psychic. I am thinking about Flareon, Jolteon, or Vaporeon. Or maybe just wait to evolve to Glaceon. ;)

Depending on your legendary situation, Jolteon makes a good budget Raikou and Flareon a budget Entei; otherwise I wouldn't bother with those any more than I would with Umbreon.

The most useful evolutions including gen 4 are likely Espeon and Glaceon. Espeon has the 2nd highest base attack of non-legendary psychic mons in all 7 generations. Glaceon doesn't have much competition in the ice type and depending on area might be much easier to get than Piloswine.

Leafeon has too much competition and not good enough stats. Flareon and Jolteon are pretty good but threatened by a lot of future fire and electric types, Flareon especially by starters with Blast Burn. Vaporeon is already very outclassed as a non-legendary water. EDIT: Poor Umbreon, so useless that I forgot about it ;__;

Gen 6 has Sylveon, but that and possible additions from gen 8 or beyond are not worth considering, they are very, very far in the future. At the current pace, gen 6 will release in late 2020 or early 2021.

My first I immediately turned into Espeon; my second from July I am holding onto for a Glaceon.

Also depending if you used your naming trick, your flipping a coin for the Gen 1
Eevolutions. Espeon can be guaranteed and perhaps the Leafeon and Glaeceon can be too

Sylveon will have no use. its a worse version of togekiss in stats without the double fighting resistance and most of the use fairies will have is likely to be before gen 6. Save it for glaceon

Abra are everywhere atm, so espeon might not be the best option to use a 100% eevee on
