Pokémon claims 2025 as the Year of Eevee

2025 will be the Year of Eevee, according to the Pokémon Company.

Branding showing Pokémon's Year of Eevee is now live on the franchise's Pokémon Center site, alongside an array of merchandise featuring the cute creature and its many evolutions including plushies and action figures. On the surface, the Year of Eevee seems to be just a merchandise range, but the Pokémon Center often taps into themes for the coming year with merchandise that ties into the wider franchise. It's now been 12 years since Eevee's eighth evolution option - the Fairy-type Sylveon - was announced, and fans have long hoped for more.
