Trivia
- There is a continuation of an Easter Egg that refers to the names of the Eevee Brothers, despite the fact that Sakura wasn't member of Eevee Brother, naming Eevee with her name will result in a Espeon when it is evolved.
- Works only once per account and even if Eevee was already evolved into Espeon not using this method.
