Pokémon GO
The Sun Stone in Pokémon GO
The Sun Stone was added to Pokémon GO on February 16, 2017.
The Sun Stone is required to evolve certain Pokémon:
Level 10 and higher players can obtain the Sun Stone by searching PokéStops. While normally rare, from March 21, 2017 onward the player is always guaranteed to find an Evolution item when obtaining the bonus for searching a PokéStop for the seventh day in a row.
In the anime
Ash won a Sun Stone in the Bug-Catching Contest during The Bug Stops Here, later using it to evolve a Sunkern in Moving Pictures.
A Sun Stone, along with a Leaf Stone, appeared in Whichever Way the Wind Blows during an explanation of the branch in Gloom's evolutionary line.
Mystery on a Deserted Island! featured the Sun Stone along with all of the other evolutionary stones available as of Generation V.
A full set of evolutionary stones was seen on display in a stone shop in Geosenge Town in The Cave of Trials!. In addition, an unnamed Trainer used a Sun Stone purchased from the shop to evolve his Helioptile into Heliolisk. Clemont then revealed that he had also used a Sun Stone to evolve his own Helioptile into Heliolisk.
