Generation: V
Zoroark is based on kitsune, magical foxes that have, among other abilities, the ability to transform into other creatures. Zoroark is a bipedal Pokémon, with dark gray fur. It has a red mane with gray strands ending in a ponytail held with a light blue bead. His arms end in sharp red claws that he uses to defend himself. He has light blue eyes.
Zoroark is capable of transforming into people and other Pokémon and can also create illusions capable of confusing hundreds of people. Its appearance is frequent in packs of Zoroark and Zorua, in which they are all very close. In fact, Zoroark protects his pack and young from his adversaries by creating terrifying illusions to trick them into fleeing.
It is said that Zoroark traps those who try to capture him in a world of illusions and thus punishes them. Lonely trainers often ask Zoroarks to show them illusions with which to combat the discomfort of loneliness.
3. Eevee
Types: Normal
Generation: I
Eevee is based on a little fox. It has long pointed ears and a brush-shaped tail. His body, with an agile and flexible physical constitution, is adapted to speed and agility. The predominant color of its hair is dark brown, with a cream tone on the neck and the end of the tail. The neck area has a denser and longer coat. His eyes have a brownish tint.
His fur is soft and short. Eevee are very rare in the wild. Sometimes they live near cities and towns. Eevee can live just about anywhere, and they can evolve to suit their environment. It was first documented in Kanto, but has been seen in other regions as well.
4. Vaporeon
Types: Water
Generation: I
If Eevee is exposed to a Water Stone, it evolves into a Vaporeon. He will be an excellent swimmer, capable of becoming invisible in the water, and will have great aquatic abilities. Vaporeon’s body is mostly blue. He has pointed yellow ears that help propel him when he dives, with which he can hear underwater. He has a shark-like fin on his head, and a white ruff on his neck, as if he were an emperor. He has scaly spikes on his spine that extend along his back.
5. Jolteon
Types: Electric
Generation: I
Jolteon is inspired by a fox. His fur allows him to capture and store a large amount of static electricity from the environment, causing it to bristle and harden into spikes, which he can use to focus and direct his electrical attacks against his rival. His hairs only turn into spikes when he feels threatened, scared, or angry.
His cells generate a low level of electricity, which, amplified by the static electricity of his skin, allows him to fire lightning. His neck is white, the rest of his body is bright yellow, his eyes are black, and he is the only Eevee evolution that lacks a tail, which is confused with his hair. He is often seen in mountains or in cities, and also near power plants.
6. Flareon
Types: Fire
Generation: I
If Eevee is exposed to a Fire Stone, it will evolve into Flareon, becoming a Fire Pokémon, so its nobility and exuberance will grow quickly. He is the most faithful of all, but his laziness will also be noticeable unless he is not pampered so much. He has a somewhat calm and cheerful character, but when he gets angry about something serious, he can become quite a fighter, since he has a patient but explosive temperament.
When Flareon gets nervous or anxious, he tends to release a large amount of heat through his fur. When meeting new people, it has some shyness, but as it gets used to it, it will become a loyal and affectionate Pokémon, good for keeping company.
