The method to evolve Eevee into Espeon has not changed in Pokémon Legends from the previous methods. What you need to focus on is increasing your friendship with Eevee. Friendship is a hidden trait that all Pokémon have regarding their relationship with you, their trainer. You can increase your Pokémon’s friendship by participating in more battles together, feeding them EXP candy, or by having them mine resources for you around Hisui.
