Highlights
- A Pokemon fan has created three original Eevee evolutions with new types, Slime, Grim, and Curse.
- These new types could easily be translated into existing Pokemon types, such as Poison, Dark, Ghost, or Psychic.
- Despite no new official Eeveelutions in recent games, there are still nine Pokemon types that could potentially be explored in the future.
A Pokemon fan has designed three new Eevee evolutions using original types that aren't actually featured in the games. Eevee has been one of the most popular Pokemon since it debuted in the Generation 1 games. While many Pokemon fans like Eevee simply because it's cute, the creature's unique ability to evolve into a variety of Pokemon of different types has also helped it become so popular.
In the Generation 1 Pokemon games, Eevee was able to evolve into Water-type Vaporeon, Electric-type Jolteon, and Fire-type Flareon. Later Pokemon games introduced more Eevee evolutions, aka Eeveelutions, with Psychic-type Espeon, Dark-Type Umbreon, Ice-type Glaceon, Grass-type Leafeon, and Fairy-type Sylveon all added to the mix. Pokemon fans have been waiting anxiously for new Eevee evolutions, but it's been over a decade since Sylveon's debut in Pokemon X and Y with no new Eeveelution in sight.

With The Pokemon Company seemingly uninterested in designing official new Eevee evolutions, Pokemon fans have taken matters into their own hands. Artists have created all kinds of original Eevee evolution designs over the years, typically imagining an Eeveelution based on an existing Pokemon type that has yet to be represented. Reddit user and artist In-ProgressPokemon did something a little different with their new Eevee evolutions. They designed a Slime-type Eeveelution called Goopeon, a Grim-type called Reapeon, and a Curse-type called Voodeon.
Slime, Grim, and Curse are all made-up Pokemon types, but they could easily translate to real Pokemon types. Slime type would be analogous to Poison-type, while Grim could be Dark or Ghost-type. Curse would fit well as Dark, Ghost, or even Psychic-type. Regardless, the Eevee evolution designs are impressive, and will no doubt leave fans hungry for some more official new Eevee evolutions from the mainline Pokemon games.
At one point, there seemed to be a pattern when it came to new Eeveelutions. New Eevee evolutions were introduced in every even number Pokemon Generation until Generation 8, as Pokemon Sword and Shield launched with no new Eeveelutions for fans to add to their roster. The Generation 9 Pokemon games, Scarlet and Violet, have no new Eevee evolutions either, so all eyes will be on the Generation 10 Pokemon games to see if they finally fill the void.
There are still nine Pokemon types without Eeveelutions at the time of this writing, so there are plenty of possibilities for the developers to explore. In the meantime, fans can expect Pokemon fan artists to continue creating their own takes on Eeveelutions.
