Is levelling up inside a cave the same as levelling up at night

pokemon-fourth-generation

In Pokemon, using a Dusk Ball inside a cave gives the same effect as using it at night. Does a cave also count as night when trying to meet evolution criteria? For example to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon, you need to level Eevee up whilst it's very happy and at night time.

No - if you level up an Eevee inside a cave but during the daytime, it will still try to evolve into an Espeon rather than an Umbreon. No matter how dark the environment, it's the time that counts for evolution.
