Happy Eevee Day! On November 21, we celebrate the beloved Normal-type Pokémon that has a whopping eight different known Evolutions. Why is Eevee Day on November 21? In Japanese number-based wordplay, called goroawase, the number 1121 sounds like Eevee’s name, and any excuse to celebrate this cutie is good enough for us. In honor of the Evolution Pokémon, here are some fun facts about Eevee and its many Evolutions.

Eevee and its Evolutions are always adorable, but some of the costumes these Pokémon have appeared in over the years take the cuteness to a new level.
While Eevee might not be a traditional first partner Pokémon, several games have nonetheless allowed Trainers to obtain an Eevee or one of its Evolutions as their first partner.
Pokémon the Series has featured two different groups of siblings who love Eevee and its Evolutions.
The POKÉMON X KOGEI exhibit took place July 25, 2023, to January 7, 2024, at JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles. The exhibit featured over 70 pieces from 20 skilled craft artists from Japan. Not surprisingly, several artists drew inspiration from Eevee and its Evolutions.
