Gigantamax Eevee is presented here as a hypothetical Pokémon GO raid boss with an enlarged HP pool and boosted damage output (consistent with your site’s other Gigantamax guides). Eevee’s typing is variable depending on which evolution it might mimic during the event—however, the most common Gigantamax Eevee raid variant behaves like a Normal-type base with multi-type move coverage pulled from its evolutions (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Sylveon). That makes it unpredictable but beatable with the right counters and planning.
Pro tip: Treat Gigantamax Eevee as a flexible multi-coverage boss — bring generic neutral-damage tanks plus targeted super-effective attackers based on the charged move preview.

Moves & Threats
Eevee common fast moves are Quick Attack or Tackle. Charged moves include Dig or Swift. Elite moves include Body Slam or Last Resort. G-Max Cuddle not only delivers heavy damage but also leaves a damaging area for a short time — timing your swaps and using at least one bulky support reduces wipe risk.
Threats: Hyper Beam can severely damage single counters. Last Resort hits hard if unprepared
Tip: Dodge charged moves and focus on consistent DPS to shorten the raid.
Weather Effects
Partly Cloudy weather : boosts Eevee Normal moves.Cloudy weather : boosts Fighting attackers.
Battle Tips
- Avoid Normal-type Pokémon—they deal less damage.
- Use fast and strong Fighting moves.
Size
Recommended: 15–20 trainers for comfortable clears with mixed player levels. With many Gigantamax / Dynamax counters, 10–14 can work. Under 8 trainers should be attempted only if all participants are high-level and coordinated with ideal counters and Dynamax/G-Max boosts.
Rewards
Reasons include Pokédex entry, cute Normal attacker, shiny chance, and XL Candy farming.
Raid Strategy & Catch Tips
Since Eevee is purely Normal-type, Fighting-type Pokémon are the only true counters. Bring a team full of strong Fighting-types to finish this raid quickly. Avoid Ghost-types, as they deal no damage with their Ghost moves.
