There are two ways to evolve Eevee into Espeon.
In the world of Pokemon, Eevee, the Evolution Pokemon, can be evolved into eight different pocket monsters (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon).

As reported by Eurogamer, if you’ve never evolved Eevee into Espeon before, you can evolve one quickly and easily by renaming Eevee to “Sakura” (without the quotation marks) before evolving it. However, this trick will only work once.
