Here we go again! Can you believe that it's been three years since Eevee last took center stage on a Community Day in order to teach its evolutions brand new moves? It's been a long and complicated few years, but it's time once again to celebrate everyone's favorite 8-branching evolutionary Pokemon!
So what do we get this time, Last Resort? Well, yes and no. While Eevee is getting this old Elite Move, this time, we're getting new moves for all of the Eeveelutions!

Trainers,
We’re excited to announce that Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon, will be featured during August’s Community Day event—which will span two days instead of just one! And that’s not all: when you evolve Eevee into any of its Evolutions from Friday, August 13, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, August 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. PDT (GMT −7), that Pokémon will know a special attack! During this time, evolving Eevee into Sylveon will also require fewer hearts than usual.
In celebration of Eevee Community Day, stickers inspired by Eevee and its Evolutions will be available throughout August! You can get stickers inspired by Eevee by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop, while stickers inspired by Eevee’s Evolutions will be available exclusively from the shop.
