An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is an item which makes the Pokémon holding it [[Evolution|evolve]] when a certain event happens, such as if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d or leveled up.  The item disappears once the Pokémon has evolved.  For evolution-inducing items that are not meant to be held, see the page on [[evolutionary stone]]s.
An '''Evolution item''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}アイテム''' ''Evolution item'') is an item that allows certain Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Depending on the Pokémon and the item, the Pokémon may need to hold the item, or the item may be able to be used directly.


==List of evolution-inducing held items==
Regardless of method, if a Pokémon evolves using one of these items, it consumes the item.

==In the anime==
In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', a [[Prism Scale]] formed on the body of [[Jinny]]'s {{p|Feebas}}, which allowed it to evolve into a {{p|Milotic}}.
Many evolution items have appeared in the anime. The first one to appear was the King's Rock in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', which {{Ash}} won in the [[Sumo Conference]] and {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} later used to evolve itself into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. Another King's Rock appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', which was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; [[Alice Telesu|Alice]]'s {{p|Slowpoke}} used it to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}}.


A DeepSeaScale and DeepSeaTooth appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'' where the people in the [[A-B-C Islands]] where having an argument over which Pokémon was best, {{p|Gorebyss}} or {{p|Huntail}}.
In ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', [[Wikstrom]] gave [[Goh]] a [[Metal Coat]], allowing him to evolve his {{p|Scyther}} into {{TP|Goh|Scizor}} when it was transferred through a [[trade machine]] while holding it.


A King's Rock, two DeepSeaTeeth, and two DeepSeaScales appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as some of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.
A [[Strawberry Sweet]] first appeared in ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', decorating a cupcake that Goh was eating. When his newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Milcery}} showed interest in it, he placed it on her head and then spun around with her to celebrate making a new friend, inadvertently triggering her evolution into {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Alcremie}} in the process.


In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', {{an|Brock}} carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly born {{p|Happiny}}, which later helped her evolve into a {{TP|Brock|Chansey}} in ''[[DP190|The Brockster is In]]''.
A [[Dragon Scale]] appeared in ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', where Ash and Goh found it from a sunken ancient submersible. Goh subsequently gave it as a gift to a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Seadra}}.


In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash got a Razor Fang from [[Gary Oak]] and he used it to evolve his {{p|Gligar}} into a {{AP|Gliscor}}.
Four Strawberry Sweets appeared in a flashback in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]''. [[Murdock]]'s Milcery grabbed one of them and spun around with it, triggering her evolution into {{TP|Murdock|Alcremie}}.

Ash's Gligar reaching for the Razor Fang Ash tossed

An Evolution item (Japanese: 進化アイテム Evolution item) is an item that allows certain Pokémon to evolve. Depending on the Pokémon and the item, the Pokémon may need to hold the item, or the item may be able to be used directly.

Regardless of method, if a Pokémon evolves using one of these items, it consumes the item.

List of Evolution items

Directly used

These Evolution items cause a Pokémon to evolve when used on it from the Bag. They cannot be used in battle. Evolution stones are the most common example.

Others

The Sun Shard and Moon Shard in Pokémon XD cause an Eevee with high friendship to evolve when it levels up while one of these items is in the Bag. They are the only Evolution items to be Key Items.

Acquisition

Evolution items are normally found in a variety of locations. However, there are some methods that can yield a large number of them.

In spin-off games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Main article: Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items

Pokémon Pinball series

Main article: Evolution Item (Pinball)

Pokémon GO

Main article: Evolution stone → Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, Evolution items can be spent along with Candy to evolve certain Pokémon. There are seven Evolution items: the Sun Stone, King's Rock, Metal Coat, Dragon Scale, Upgrade, Sinnoh Stone, and Unova Stone.

Pokémon that evolve into Generation II Pokémon or with a Sun Stone require the same item as in the core series games. Non-Generation IV Pokémon that evolve into Generation IV Pokémon require the Sinnoh Stone to evolve, unless they have a location-based evolution in the core series games. Generation V Pokémon that require an item to evolve (other than the Sun Stone) require a Unova Stone to evolve.

In addition to Evolution items, there are also special Lure Modules that allow Pokémon to evolve that in the core series games can only evolve in certain locations. The special Lure Modules are the Magnetic, Mossy, Rainy and Glacial Lure Modules.

In the anime

A King's Rock first appeared in Ring Masters, where Ash received it as a prize for winning the Sumo Conference. In Outrageous Fortunes, Misty's Poliwhirl used it to evolve itself into a Politoed by holding it while being transferred between Pokémon Centers.

Another King's Rock appeared in A Crowning Achievement, where it was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; Alice's Slowpoke used it to evolve into a Slowking as a Shellder bit onto it while it was on Slowpoke's head.

A Deep Sea Scale and Deep Sea Tooth appeared in The Evolutionary War. Nancy and Keith found one of each item and gave them to each other, allowing both of their Clamperl to evolve when they were transferred from a Pokémon Center to another while holding the items.

A King's Rock, two Deep Sea Teeth, and two Deep Sea Scales appeared in Showdown At Linoone as some of the items Tokin had picked up.

In One Big Happiny Family!, Brock carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly hatched Happiny, which later helped her evolve into a Chansey in The Brockster is In.

In Fighting Fear with Fear!, Ash received a Razor Fang from Gary. Later in the episode, he used it to evolve his Gligar into a Gliscor.

In The Cuteness Quotient!, a Prism Scale formed on the body of Jinny's Feebas, which allowed it to evolve into a Milotic.

In Searching for Chivalry!, Wikstrom gave Goh a Metal Coat, allowing him to evolve his Scyther into Scizor when it was transferred through a trade machine while holding it.

A Strawberry Sweet first appeared in The Sweet Taste of Battle!, decorating a cupcake that Goh was eating. When his newly caught Milcery showed interest in it, he placed it on her head and then spun around with her to celebrate making a new friend, inadvertently triggering her evolution into Alcremie in the process.

A Dragon Scale appeared in Looking Out for Number Two!, where Ash and Goh found it from a sunken ancient submersible. Goh subsequently gave it as a gift to a wild Seadra.

Four Strawberry Sweets appeared in a flashback in The Bittersweet Truth. Murdock's Milcery grabbed one of them and spun around with it, triggering her evolution into Alcremie.

Trivia

  • Before Generation VIII, there are no directly used Evolution items other than the Evolution stones.
  • Generations VII and IX are the only generations to not introduce a held Evolution item (excluding Generation I, in which held items do not exist).
  • All held Evolution items that cause a Pokémon to evolve upon leveling up require the Pokémon to level up during a specific time of day.
  • Along with being listed among the Evolution stones, the Oval Stone has the "Use" option when selected in the Bag, but if the player tries to use it, it won't say "Able" under any Pokémon.
    • This makes it the only Evolution item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an Evolution stone.
    • This is not the case in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, in which all Evolution items have been turned into directly used items.
