Espeon, a psychic cat/fox, sounds cool in theory, though I have to admit that my concern is that it would take control of my thoughts and force me to rub its belly until I die. Then again, I'd likely do that without any coercion, so let's get ourselves a psychic cat/fox. In Pokémon GO, here's how to get Espeon.
As with all of the other Eevee variations, Espeon doesn't occur naturally in the wild. The only way you can acquire one is by transforming an Eevee. Evolving an Eevee into an Espeon is a similar process to evolving one into an Umbreon, though with a few key differences. The first order of business is to make your Eevee your companion for a long time.

In Pokémon GO, how do you get Espeon?
Once you've walked at least a cumulative 10km with your Eevee, you're on track to evolve. All you need to do is give it the usual 25 Eevee treats, although you must do it during daytime hours. If you're not sure what exactly constitutes "daytime hours," try to do it around noon-ish.
If you need to get a quick fix, you may also use the special nickname method to guarantee that your Eevee develops into an Espeon without all the walking around and bonding. All you need to do is give your Eevee the nickname "Sakura," then develop it like normal with 25 candies. It's only one; one Eevee, one "Sakura," one Espeon. No do-overs.
