Getting closer to Celebi with Umbreon and Espeon

I've been really going slow with my progress for A Ripple In Time now. After finish part 3 it went smooth to finish part 4. I already assigned an Eevee as my buddy in time, which allows you to skip part of the 10km required to walk with your Eevee as buddy. As it updates when you get an Eevee candy at 5km distance walked. So if you start part 4 or 5 with Eevee as your buddy at 4.5km walked and walk 500 meters more it'll already put you at 1/2 for the walk 10 km quest.

Evolving your buddy Eevee in the day into Espeon was really easy too when I walked over 10km with it. Sending gifts was easy as well, I just had to spin a lot of Pokéstops to get the required gifts and was able to complete it in a day.

When you finish part 4 you get another wild Eevee spawn from the quest, as you'll have to evolve one into Umbreon. Professor Willow has a déjà vu moment here since he already told you with the previous step "Oh wow, is that an Eevee you've caught? Perfect timing!" I love how he has that little déjà vu moment before continuing the rest of the conversation about the quest and asking you for help.

For part 5 you have to make a trade with a friend, which is certainly easy to do as we sometimes trade a few Pokémon after we took over a Gym with some of our team.

Then you also have to walk 10km with Eevee again and this time evolve it into Umbreon during the night for the other two quest objectives. It's at this part where I totally screwed up which made it take sooo much longer for me to get this part done. First I realised I set the wrong Eevee as a buddy so I had to start over again with a different Eevee. Then I walked 10km with the Eevee I did want to evolve into Umbreon. We take over a Pokémon Gym with our team in the Eeveening, but it's still daytime in the game when we get there. Though one day it was raining in the game, so it was dark on the map. Then a bit after taking over that Gym I figured it could indeed be dark already, as sometime during that our it becomes nighttime in the game. Due to that and the darkness of the rainy weather I figured it might be nighttime now so I evolved it. But I got Espeon... I restarted the game as the weather had changed earlier with the hour mark and yes it was indeed still daytime.. That really was my bad! xD

So I set a new Eevee that I could evolve into Umbreon as a buddy and walked 10 km with it again. This time I didn't want to evolve it yet after taking over the Gym. Not even if we sat there talking for 30 minutes with nighttime having set in for at least 15 minutes already. I thought I'd just launch the game before going to sleep. Typical me I forgot to do that, so I thought I'd do it before going to sleep the next day then. Which I ended up forgetting again for like two more times. Then last night I did finally properly remember that I wanted to evolve this Eevee before going to sleep! I did, and with that I finally finished part 5 of the quest!

Now I'm on part 6 which requires to visit Pokéstops 7 days in a row, so it'll take 7 days for most people to finish this part. As I explained before you can use the timezone setting for this, so depending on where you are you might be able to finish to do this one in 5-6 days instead of 7 if you wish to. Though it's just a difference or one or two days so might as well do it the regular way.

How is your quest for Celebi coming along?
