Caught 98% Eevee - what should I do?

I caught a 98% IV Eevee today and I'm trying to decide if I should evolve it now or wait until the gen4 Eevee evolutions. I have a 93% Vaporeon with WG/HP, a 96% Flareon with FS/O, a 98% Jolteon with TS/D, a 93% Umbreon with S/FP and a 91% Espeon with C/FS. Advice?

Eh I would wait. Unless you need backup for gym battles or to place at gyms (in the case of Vape/Esp)

I was thinking the same. I don't really want to end up with something useless with high IV.

Lucky you! Well, it's really hard to say what would be the best option for you to do with this fellow. No one really knows when will the III-rd gen be rolled out. Even then, if you keep it till those times, there's always a risk of getting a poor move set while evolving into any kind of Eevee incarnation. I got so many of good 97.8% evolved Jolteons/Vapers/Flares but the move set is crappy. Also, personally I prefer to have at least two kinds of attack sets for every Eevee mons. Like spark/thunderbolt and spark/thunder for two Jolteons and pick one of them depending on the situation at the arena. Same for Vaper WG/HP&WG/AT and Flareon. If it's okay for you to store it till the good times, then why not. If you feel you could complement the full palette of mons as instruments for proper use in arena fights, then get more of J/V/F.

Yah, you're right. I get confused easily. In any event, I play more for the catch and less for the gym battles. Since turnover happens so quickly here (I rarely hold a gym for more than ( minutes due to spoofing), I try to take down one level 10 gym a day just to get XP and that coin!

Yeah, right! I have just checked it. It's a gen IV #470&#471. That Eevee could have died by the 4-th gen will be rolled out lol. However, as soon as any of us will get a shiny Eevee, our plans for Eevee evolutions might change quite drastically in just a moment! We'll see later on. Right!

I'd wait until gen 4 to use the name trick.
Young don't really need any of the current eevolutions
