Eevee debuted in Pokémon Red and Green in 1996 and became one of the series' most popular Pokémon because it can evolve into many different forms. This specific cry is the version used in Pokémon Sword and Shield, released for Nintendo Switch in 2019 and set in the Galar region. Each Pokémon in the games has a distinct cry, and Eevee's has remained recognizably chirpy across generations. Clips of the Sword and Shield cry circulate on soundboards and in fan edits, streams, and Pokémon community videos.
