You got Espeon instead of Umbreon because your Eevee evolved during the day, as Espeon is known to evolve from Eevee during daytime, while Umbreon evolves at night, and this process can be influenced by factors such as the time of day and the Eevee’s happiness level, with Espeon being associated with daylight and Umbreon with night-time. The evolution of Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon can also be controlled in Pokémon Go by using the Eevee name trick, where renaming Eevee to Sakura results in Espeon and to Tamao results in Umbreon, or by walking 10 kilometers with Eevee as your buddy and evolving it during the specific time of day that corresponds to the desired evolution.
