I like to think that Eevee and its eight evolutions are the perfect Pokemon for the French-themed streets of Lumiose City, the setting for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Each one has a unique look, type and evolution method. Luckily, the game doesn't make it too difficult to obtain each one of them. So, whether you're trying to complete the Pokedex or just want your favorite Eeveelution on your team, here's how to go about it.
How to catch Eevee early in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Unlike previous games, Pokemon Legends Z-A doesn't take the guardrails off quickly. Before you can freely roam the streets of Lumiose to look for an Eevee of your own, you'll need to meet Emma, a detective, at the Looker Bureau -- this happens during Main Mission 5 -- and unlock side missions.
Then find your way to Vert Sector 9 during the day to capture an Eevee; because it's a fixed spawn location, you're guaranteed to find one here.

The easiest way to get to Vert Sector 9 is by heading to Vernal Pokemon Center. It's located on Vernal Avenue, directly south of the Centrico Plaza travel spot. Once you're at the Pokemon Center, enter the alley right before the hair salon and follow the path until you see an arched gateway. It's opposite a battle court. There may be boulders blocking your path ahead, so bring a Pokemon with fighting-type moves (preferably Rock Smash or Brick Break) to get past. Then head down to the park area and you'll find yourself an Eevee.

This Eevee will be around Level 16. It isn't skittish, so it won't disappear once it spots you, but it does have a lower catch rate. Stock up on Poke Balls and consider bringing a Pokemon that can paralyse Eevee or make it drowsy to increase your chances of capturing it.
There are a few other spots where you can capture Eevee, but this is an easy one to find. I also prefer it because of its proximity to the Vernal Pokemon Center, a fast travel spot.
