How do you get an Umbreon in Pokémon GO? (buddy method)

Question

Heard there's also a buddy/night-based method for getting an Umbreon in Pokémon GO separate from the nickname trick. Does that one still work reliably or is the nickname method just easier at this point?

Soren · Answer

Set Eevee as your buddy and walk 10 km with it while earning the required candy. Once the evolution requirements are met, keep Eevee as your buddy and evolve it at night to obtain Umbreon.

Make Eevee your Buddy and walk 10 km with it, earning at least two Eevee Candy. Keep Eevee as your Buddy, then evolve it at night while it’s still your Buddy. Make sure Umbreon’s silhouette appears before confirming the evolution.
