#and glaceon looks fucking balded

They should invent a glaceon plush that isn’t ugly

was thinking about regional variants and also ive wanted to redesign the eeveelutions for a long time so here are some [NAME PENDING] regional versions of eevee and its evolutions, which are dual-type! im quite happy with all of these designs :) which would you evolve your variant eevee into?

more thoughts under the cut

eevee: i pretty much just thought a floppy eared eevee would be cute, its also more fluffy than normal eevee. i wanted to keep it simple, but distinct enough from normal eevee that you can tell if youre getting a normal or variant evolution

if it were up to me all of these dudes would evolve by stone. fire, thunder, and water for flareon, jolteon, and vaporeon respectively of course, but also leaf, ice, sun, moon, and shiny for leafeon, glaceon, espeon, umbreon, and sylveon respectively.

flareon: i feel like this design is the least original but i think it looks okay. its stats would be more bulky and physical like its rebalance in renegade platinum, and it would benefit a lot more from tough claws. it could learn dragon claw, but probably not any horn moves because those are not really suited for attacking, more for show.

jolteon: definitely completely rain team designed. it would be able to learn hurricane as well as thunder i always thought jolteon would benefit from its neck thing being more of a thundercloud like raikou and making it flying type is just... well.... just give it cloud wings lol. i think it looks distinct enough from raikou or altaria, and im happy with how the drawing turned out

vaporeon: pathetic sopping wet little meowmeow. i dont think i originally planned on making it look that pathetic but it really works imo. he’s like one of those fucked up greyhounds

espeon: i originally wanted to give rock to espeon and steel to leafeon but then i came up with the shield thing and then i realized i could make espeon contrast with vampire umbreon with the cloaks and im very happy with that. when sheathed its shield would probably float a bit above its back or maybe it just puts it in like a psychic pocket dimension idk. i think it would have a more defensive stat spread because it has that huge shield, but would still be a special attacker. also it would learn kings shield i think. sorry aegislash.

umbreon: making it vampire themed and poison type just seemed so natural, i had some issues designing the cloak without it looking too goofy but i think i pulled it off in the end. eyes were originally red but it looked bad so i changed it to yellow. probably would be a lot more offensive than vanilla umbreon (which makes sense cause espeon is now defensive), and it would learn like... all the biting moves. which is why strong jaw. also dry skin is more cause of vampires hating sunlight and less cause it actually has dry skin

glaceon: i kind of hate glaceons original design cause its like bald on the back of its head. i think glaceon should be a fluffy good boy. and its ground type and still a special attacker i think. would learn earth power. would fit on a hail OR sand team.

leafeon: i actually came up with the bark thing while sketching it cause making it have actual rock armor wasnt working out the way i wanted. and  i made the leaf parts spiky just cause. i think it would learn head smash and wood hammer, to make it an absolute monster with rock head :3

sylveon: making the ribbons into fists was always the plan. i removed the ribbons on the chest bow cause i always thought they were too cluttered but they would be more so with giant fists on the end!!! and originally its tail was gonna be like a wrecking ball but that was too much so i just gave it its original tail. obviously would be a physical rather than a special attacker and learn all the punches just like umbreon learns all the fangs. i feel like it would have a natural rivalry with umbreon since umbreon is sort of evil here.

can u tell ive thought about this a lot teehee anyway i have a savage raid in ffxiv soon so i have to go now ty for reading if you have :D
