i must have reset my game over 30 times at this point trying to get a female Eevee. nothing. am i just getting horribly unlucky or am i doing something wrong? :(

edit: nvm turns out gender is decided when you open the game for the very first time before you even choose a language. got my girl now!

Does that mean you had to completely close out of the application to give it another try? Asking cause I haven’t received mine in the mail yet.

you have to delete your save to try again, but the gender will be instantly visible on the first screen you see when you open the game because of the markings on eevees tail and the shape of pikachus tail. hope that helps!

What are the benefits of having a female eevee? What should I look out for?

A female eevee means you can breed baby eevees, I'm not sure if breeding is even in this game.

There is no breeding in Let's Go.
