Prewalk Eevees and use perfect ones on CD?
Answers
I'd save perfect ones for gen IV, Glaceon in particular
I'm walking a 96 max attack one for espeon and a 96 max def/HP one for an umbreon, the last resport pokemon are going to be very, very niche use on offense, while something like glaceon will have a lot more usage and be more worth the perfect IV one
You have between local start and Monday at 1300 Niantic time to evolve for Last Resort, so no, you don't *have* to evolve during Community Day hours.
Technically, you're right; we don't *know* that evolving a pre-existing Eevee will get us an Eevolution with Last Resort. Still, any version of Espeon is worth having, so it's a minimal issue if it ends up with FS instead.
As far as I am aware only Eevee's caught on CD with the charge move Last Resort will keep the special move when evolved, hence giving us 2 days+ to do it in. Walking Eevee's now to evolve on CD seems a little pointless if that is the case as they will evolve with normal moves. Save those for gen 4 & try for some good ones this weekend.
I already walked the only perfect one I currently have just in case Niantic gives the Eeveelutions a stab charged moved. If they keep Last Resort a normal type move, I’ll wait til the event is over and get an Umbreon since it’s the only Eeveelution I don’t have a perfect of.
Eevees are extremely common here in the DFW. I’m sitting on over 3500 Eevee candies. RIP to my stardust though since I like to spend it on lots of non meta Pokémon. I’ll get some more perfect ones for the future Eeveelutions.
A little over 3500 candies but my grinding days are long gone. I’ve stayed at home for the past 3-4 CDs.
I don’t see the need to have so many of a species when I’m never going to power them up. I try to limit just one maxed Pokémon per species with the exception of Blissey. It’s just my playstyle lately. I think I’ve raided like 4 different times too these past 4 months as well. I’ve just burned myself out and the game hasn’t had a major haul in a long time.
Words can't express how salty I'm about not having a hundo Eevee for myself to make into an Espeon and seeing so many people with multiples. 2337 caught, 200+ research encounters, probably 100+ hatches.
As for your question, wait at least until we know LR stats. Unless you want a perfect LR Eeveelution as a collectible, it could end up just being a waste of CTMs to evolve during the event.
Gen 4 is worth saving for, 100% Glaceon is going to be good no matter what, but it's not going to be great unless it ends up being the best of its type.
