Evolving Eevee:
Eevee can evolve in 7 different ways. If you have played other pokemon games you will already know that 3 of Eevee's forms are Flareon by fire stone, Jolteon by thunder stone and Vaporeon by water stone. The others are Leafeon, Glaceon, Espeon, and Umbreon. In order to get Espeon and Umbreon you must have 2 Eevee's that are really friendly with you. To get Umbreon it must level up in the night and to get Espeon it must level up during the day. Now during your journey you will encounter a couple of rocks one will say that it is covered in moss (its in the top left corner of Eterna forest) and the other will say that it is covered in ice (go to route 217 and go all the way to the left while going up towards Snowpoint City). To get Leafeon your Eevee must level up by the one covered in moss. In order to get the Glaceon you must go to the one covered in ice and level another Eevee up there.

How to get Drapion:
First, beat Cynthia then visit the great marsh. look through the binoculars and wait until you see where Drapion is. (Note: Drapion does not appear in the Great Marsh everyday, so check for it often)

Instead of talking to 32 different people just go underground with one friend and greet him. Then go back up and come back and greet him again. Repeat until you have done 32 greetings than go to the Hallowed Tower and you will automatically face a lvl.25 Spirittomb. Now you can either continue to put in odd keystones and repeat the same process or mate it with a Ditto.

Once every day.She will mention a route # and a pokemon you can't normally catch there.Go to that route and catch as many as you want.
