Go trainer found Espeon and Umbreon together
In the Pokemon Go subreddit, a trainer named ‘PwPlante‘ chanced upon the initial Johto region debutants, Espeon and Umbreon, together in the wild.
The poster expressed astonishment, saying, “I was so baffled I almost didn’t get the screenshot in time.” However, they opted not to capture either of the two, stating, “Didn’t bother to catch them. Wouldn’t wanna disturb the happy couple.”

Several other Pokemon Go players were quick to express how exciting the find was, as well as share similar encounters. One player wrote, “That is so beautiful.” Another wrote, “I had the same situation but with Nidoqueen and Nidoking.”
Others, meanwhile, commented on the coincidence and harkened back to the Pokemon Colosseum console game for the Nintendo GameCube. Both Espeon and Umbreon were the cover stars of the title.
One player wrote on the appearance of the two in Pokemon Go, “Wes is nearby, stay safe.” Wes, for those unaware, was the main protagonist of Pokemon Colosseum who had the duo as his trusty sidekicks.

“Pokemon Colosseum bros unite,” another player wrote.
While the trainer did not catch either the Espeon or Umbreon, it is important to note that those who want to add the duo to the Pokedex should keep in mind it’s not easy to get them via evolution – unless one uses a special name trick.
