Three years after its release, Niantic's augmented reality mobile game
Pokémon GO is still a major hit, pulling in fans all around the globe on community and event days and proving that it hasn't become stale.
One of the things that helps keep player interest in the game is that Niantic is constantly releasing new species into
Pokémon GO, enticing Trainers to keep logging in and trying to catch' em all.
Two of the latest entries are Leafeon and Glaceon, the Grass and Ice type evolutions of Eevee. Luckily, during the recent
Detective Pikachu event, there was plenty of Eevee candy to be had, so most Trainers should be in a good position to evolve at least one of these new "Eevee-lutions".
While it was initially assumed that these new Pokémon could only be obtained by evolving them in range of one of the new lures - Glacial and Mossy - it has now been discovered that Trainers can use a similar naming trick on their Eevee to obtain Leafeon and Glaceon much easier, similar to the other forms before it.
So what should you name your Pokémon? Well, if you're looking for the Ice-Type Glaceon, you'll want to re-name your Eevee "Rea". Once you do, you will notice the Evolution image change from the traditional question marks to the form of the Glaceon you're looking to evolve into. To obtain a Leafeon, meanwhile, rename your Eevee "Linnea", and you will receive the Grass-Type Pokémon.
