Eevee is a Pokémon that shares traits with several animals, making it difficult to pinpoint a single animal as its basis. However, it is generally agreed that Eevee resembles a mix of foxes, cats, dogs, and rabbits. Some sources suggest that Eevee is based on a cabbit, which is a mix between a cat and a rabbit. Others suggest that Eevee is based on the folklore of Tanuki, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the Japanese raccoon dog. Additionally, Eevee may be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. Overall, Eevees design seems to be a combination of various animals, rather than being based on a single animal.
