  "textContent": "Flareon is the Fire-type member of Eevee's family of evolutions, first introduced in Generation I as one of the original three eeveelutions alongside Vaporeon and Jolteon. It is the Flame Pokémon, National Pokédex number 0136, and it leans heavily on raw Attack power rather than speed or bulk.\n\n🔥\n\nQuick answer: Give an Eevee a Fire Stone. The moment you use the stone, Eevee evolves into Flareon every time, regardless of level or friendship.\n\nImage credit: The Pokemon Company\n\n* * *\n\n## How to evolve Eevee into Flareon with a Fire Stone\n\nFlareon has only one path. You cannot reach it by leveling up, trading, or raising friendship. You must use a Fire Stone on an Eevee, and that single action triggers the evolution instantly.\n\n**Step 1:** Add an Eevee to your party or have one ready in your boxes. Eevee itself is a Normal-type and shares this base form with all eight evolutions.\n\n**Step 2:** Obtain a Fire Stone. The fastest source changes from game to game, so use the table below to find the closest option in your version.\n\n**Step 3:** Open your Bag, select the Fire Stone, and use it on Eevee. The evolution animation plays immediately, and Eevee becomes Flareon. You will know it worked when the Pokédex registers Flareon and it learns Ember on evolving.\n\n⚠️\n\nNote: A Fire Stone always produces Flareon. If you instead want Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon, do not use the stone, since those forms rely on friendship, location, or move conditions.\n\nGames| Where to get a Fire Stone\n---|---\nRed / Green / Blue / Yellow / FireRed / LeafGreen| Buy at the Celadon Department Store\nGold / Silver / Crystal / HeartGold / SoulSilver| From Bill's Grandfather in the Sea Cottage, or from Schoolboy Alan on Route 36\nRuby / Sapphire / Emerald| Trade a Red Shard on Route 124\nDiamond / Pearl / Platinum| Underground, Fuego Ironworks, and Solaceon Ruins\nBlack / White / Black 2 / White 2| Desert Resort\nX / Y| Routes 9 and 13, and the Lumiose City Stone Emporium\nOmega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire| Trade a Red Shard on Route 124, or the Inverse Battle shop in Mauville City\nSun / Moon| Route 8, Konikoni City, and Poké Pelago\nUltra Sun / Ultra Moon| Route 8, Paniola Ranch, Konikoni City, and Poké Pelago\nLet's Go Pikachu / Let's Go Eevee| Route 8, Pokémon Mansion, or the Celadon Department Store\nSword / Shield| Route 2 and Bridge Field\nBrilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl| Grand Underground and Fuego Ironworks\nLegends: Arceus| Trade at the Trading Post for 1,000 MP\nScarlet / Violet| Buy from Delibird Presents, or earn one for registering 60 Pokémon\nLegends: Z-A| Buy in the Stone Emporium\nImage credit: The Pokemon Company\n\n* * *\n\n## Flareon base stats and Pokédex data\n\nFlareon's signature trait is its 130 base Attack, which is unusually high for a Pokémon best known for special Fire moves. Its bulk is split, with low Defense and a strong Special Defense of 110.\n\nStat| Base value\n---|---\nHP| 65\nAttack| 130\nDefense| 60\nSp. Atk| 95\nSp. Def| 110\nSpeed| 65\nTotal| 525\nDetail| Value\n---|---\nNational №| 0136\nType| Fire\nSpecies| Flame Pokémon\nHeight| 0.9 m (2′11″)\nWeight| 25.0 kg (55.1 lbs)\nAbilities| Flash Fire (Guts as hidden ability)\nGender ratio| 87.5% male, 12.5% female\nEgg group| Field\nEV yield| 2 Attack\nCatch rate| 45\nGrowth rate| Medium Fast\n\n* * *\n\n## Flareon type weaknesses and resistances\n\nAs a pure Fire-type, Flareon has a clean and predictable matchup chart. It takes double damage from three common attacking types, so plan switches around them before committing it to a battle.\n\nMatchup| Types\n---|---\nWeak to| Water, Ground, Rock\nResistant to| Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy\nNormal damage| Normal, Fighting, Poison, Electric, Ghost, Psychic, Dragon, Dark, Flying\nImmune to| None\n\n💡\n\nTip: Flareon's Flash Fire ability also blocks incoming Fire attacks and boosts its own Fire moves once hit, which turns one of its resistances into an offensive advantage.\n\nImage credit: The Pokemon Company (via YouTube/@Just Marcy)\n\n* * *\n\n## Where to find Flareon in each generation\n\nIn most mainline games, the only way to get Flareon is to evolve your own Eevee. A handful of titles let you encounter or trade for it directly, and the Legends games hide it behind special spawns.\n\nGames| How to obtain\n---|---\nRed / Blue / Yellow| Evolve Eevee\nGold / Silver / Crystal| Evolve Eevee\nRuby / Sapphire / Emerald| Trade\nFireRed / LeafGreen| Evolve Eevee\nDiamond / Pearl / Platinum / HGSS| Evolve Eevee\nBlack / White| Trade or Global Link event\nBlack 2 / White 2| Evolve Eevee\nX / Y / ORAS| Evolve Eevee\nSun / Moon / USUM / Let's Go| Evolve Eevee\nSword / Shield| Lake of Outrage and Giant's Cap (Max Raid Battles)\nBrilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl| Evolve Eevee\nLegends: Arceus| Space-Time Distortions in Crimson Mirelands and Cobalt Coastlands\nScarlet / Violet| South Province (Areas Five and Six), North Province (Area One, Dalizapa Passage), and 6★ Tera Raid Battles\nLegends: Z-A| Centrico Plaza (Wild Zone 20)\n\n### Catching Flareon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus\n\nFlareon cannot be caught in the open world of the Hisui region. It only appears inside Space-Time Distortions, the purple domes that spawn at random on the Crimson Mirelands and Cobalt Coastlands maps. Enter a Distortion, ride around to spawn Pokémon, and throw a Great Ball or Ultra Ball at Flareon once it appears. If it does not show up, leave and wait for the next Distortion.\n\n* * *\n\n## Flareon's moveset in recent games\n\nFlareon learns Ember the instant it evolves, then builds toward stronger Fire attacks as it levels. The list below covers its level-up moves in Scarlet and Violet, capped by the powerful Flare Blitz at level 50.\n\nLevel| Move| Type\n---|---|---\nOn evolution| Ember| Fire\n5| Sand Attack| Ground\n10| Quick Attack| Normal\n15| Baby-Doll Eyes| Fairy\n20| Smog| Poison\n25| Bite| Dark\n30| Fire Fang| Fire\n35| Fire Spin| Fire\n40| Lava Plume| Fire\n45| Scary Face| Normal\n50| Flare Blitz| Fire\n55| Last Resort| Normal\n\nBecause Flareon's Attack stat dwarfs its Special Attack, physical Fire moves such as Flare Blitz and Fire Fang squeeze the most out of it, while TM options like Flamethrower, Overheat, and Will-O-Wisp give you special and support coverage when you need it.\n\nImage credit: The Pokemon Company (via YouTube/@Just Marcy)\n\n* * *\n\n## Flareon in Pokémon GO\n\nIn Pokémon GO, Flareon is a budget Fire attacker with an attack-heavy spread of 246 ATK, 179 DEF, and 163 HP. Its maximum Combat Power reaches 3424 CP at level 50, and its encounters are boosted in sunny weather.\n\nDetail| Value\n---|---\nType| Fire\nWeak to| Ground, Rock, Water\nBest moveset| Fire Spin / Overheat\nMax CP (Lvl 50)| 3424\nBuddy distance| 5 km\nShiny available| Yes\n\nFor raids, Fire Spin paired with Overheat gives Flareon its fastest damage output, and the constant supply of Eevee candy makes it an easy Fire attacker to power up early on. It is far weaker as a gym defender, where its thin bulk and common Ground-type counters drop it to the bottom tier.\n\nWhether you are filling out a Pokédex or building a Fire attacker, the route to Flareon comes down to one item. Keep a spare Eevee on hand, grab a Fire Stone from the nearest source in your game, and the rest is a single button press.",
