Pokemon Winds and Waves could be setting up another Pokemon to take Eevee's place, at least when it comes to receiving new evolutions. Eevee has been one of the franchise's most recognizable Pokemon since the original games, largely because of its ability to evolve into several different types—which quickly and lovingly became known as Eeveelutions. However, it's been more than a decade since Eevee received a new evolution, despite fans regularly asking Game Freak to introduce more.
Eevee currently has eight different evolutions, ranging from the original Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon to later additions like Umbreon, Espeon, and Sylveon. However, Sylveon was introduced in Pokemon X and Y back in 2013, meaning it's been 13 years since the franchise last expanded Eevee's evolutionary family. There are still several Pokemon types without an Eeveelution, including Dragon, Ghost, and Steel, but Game Freak hasn't shown much interest in exploring those possibilities. Meanwhile, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced another Pokemon with branching evolutions, and Pokemon Winds and Waves is expanding it like Eeveelutions of gens past.
Pokemon Winds and Waves officially confirm 54 Pokemon and tease another 48, bringing the total to 102.
