As long as there’s oxygen in the air, fans will argue whether Eevee and its evolutions are cats or dogs. I’m here to settle the argument. I’m sick of seeing incorrect takes touted as facts - if you think they’re dogs, you’re wrong, and I’m💜 going to prove it.

You've Never Picked These Pokemon For Your Team, But You Totally Should

You should give these Pokemon another chance.

Looking across the games, anime, and all Pokemon media, there’s plenty of evidence that leans towards 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Eeveelutions being more feline than canine. They’re also influenced by other animals, like foxes, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mythical creatures, but the catꦑ inspiration is ꦓundeniable. Here’s my purrfect defence.

8 🙈 They Have Cat-Like Agility🦩

If you’ve seen how Eevee and the 🃏Eeveelutions move about in the Pokemon anime, you’ll know what I mean. They’re swift, agile, and elegant. All traits commonly associated with cats, not dogs. When was the last time you saw a dog carefully take ev💫ery step, instead of clumsily bounding to its next destination?

I’m not 🅷ragging on dogs here. They’re cute. But the way cats ♕and dogs move is completely different.

Just going by how the Eeveelutions are p👍ortrayed in their movements alone, you have to gi𓂃ve a point to the cat side. While they’re not all known for their speed in terms of stats, they still have an agile-ness about them that’s just not seen in dogs.

7 𝓡 Eevee Has A Feline Mane ꧅

Can you think of a dog-like animal that has a mane like Eevee? No? I thought so. While Eevee is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the first evolution and purely there to look cute, you ca𓃲n’t deny 𒉰the mane is evocative of a lion - you know, a big cat.

The original three evolutions, Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon, all keep this mane when they evolve, too🐓, 𓃲so it was clearly an important part of the design when they were originally created. It’s too similar to not be a coincidence, in my opinion.

6 ♓ ♒ Eevee, Jolteon, And Vaporeon Literally Have The :3 Mouth

Okay, not every Eeveelution has a mouth shaped like the ‘:3’ emoticon, but you have to admit that three of them having it is more than a coincidence. It’s a purposef♔ul choice. It directly signals to you that this is a feline creature (and a very cute one at that).

If You Think 3D Pokemon Games Are Better Than 2D Pokemon Games, Here's Why You're Wrong

2D over 3D any day.

Lots of fanartists draw all the Eeveelutions with the ‘:3’ mouth, bꦡut I’m going with official interpretations here.

There’s not much more I can say about the ‘:🉐3𝓰’ mouth. They have it. Decide for yourself whether you take that as a cat proof.

5 You Have To Earn Eevee’s Affection For It To Evolve (Sometimes) 🐻

Unlike dogs, cats often need a bit of time to get to know you before they open up and start being affectionate. You know what that sounds like? A certain evol⭕ution method required to get Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon.

Before Eevee will evolve into Espeon or Umbreon, you need to max out your friendship with it first, and to get Sylveon, you need to increase its affection for you. Most dogs don’t need you to go through that much trouble before they start loving on you, so that’s♉ a lot of points for𝓡 Eevee being feline.

4 ♔ Sylveon Is Basically A Fancy Sphynx

Go and have a look at a pink/white sphynx cat. Now hav🍨e a loo൩k at Sylveon. See the resemblance? Of course you do. Sylveon is a glorified sphynx cat who happens to have ribbons and patches of fur on its ears and head.

If you dressed up a sphynx cat to look like Sylveon, it would look almost exactly the same. Now I want to see a sphynx cat dressed like Sylveon… Any sphynx cat owners out there williꩵng to do me a solid?

3 ꦰ Umbreon Is🍬 Black Cat Energy, Manifested

As the owner of a black cat, I feel more than qualified to say that Umbreon has the air of a black cat. ꦗMysterious. Regal. Adorable. A creature of the nig꧟ht. I wouldn’t be surprised to find my own black cat looking up to the moon on a clear night, worshipping it as a powerful presence.

These Forgettable Pokemon Deserve A Second Chance At Being Someone's Favorite

Not every Pokemon is beloved, but it's a cruel f𝓡ate that 🎃some should be forgotten. Here are the forgotten Pokemon we think deserve your love.

Does Umbreon resemble a black dog? No. Literally not in the slightest. I challenge you to find me 𒆙a black dog that looks like Umbreon. Go on, dog Eeveelution truthers. Oh, you can’t? That’s what I thought.

I’ve also seen lots of people name their black cats Umbreon.

2 They Act Like ♔C🦋ats

Alongside being agile and elegant, I’ve also seen the Eeveelutions act very feline-like in the games and in the anime. Take a look at the images used for Leafeon and Jolteon in the Scarᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ💦⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlet & Violet Pokedex. Leafeon is licking its paw, like a cat cleaning itself, and Jolteon is doing a classic cat stretch.

The behaviour is similar in the anime, tooౠ. In an episode where Pikachu gets to meet all the Eeveelutions, they sit prim and proper on their back legs, exactly how cats sit. Checkmate, dog truthers.

1 Pokemon Fans Already Have Trouble Identifyi🎐ng Cats And Dogs… ꦆ

Raikou, Entei, and Suicune in Pokemon Go.

‘Legendary Dogs’? Sorry? Entei, Raikou, and Suicune are another victim of the ‘dog Pokemon’ agenda. ꧋While (incorrect) fans may dub them the Legendary ‘🐟Dogs’, they’re officially called the Legendary Beasts. No mention of dogs here.

In fact, Entei is based on a lion and Raikou is based on a sabre-toothed tiger. Suicune is more debated, but the general consensus is that it’s based on a leopard༒. If Pokemon fans can’t see that these gܫuys are big cats, how can we believe them when they say the Eeveelutions are also dogs? You can’t.
