The '''Iron Ball''' (Japanese: '''くろいてっきゅう''' ''Black Iron Ball'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It [[grounded|grounds]] the holder and lowers its {{stat|Speed}}.

==In the core series games==

|}
|}

===Effect===
The Iron Ball halves the holder's {{stat|Speed}} and makes it [[grounded]]. Due to being grounded, it becomes susceptible to damaging {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s; {{m|Rototiller}}; {{a|Arena Trap}}; the [[entry hazard]]s {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Sticky Web}}; and [[terrain]], even if it is {{type|Flying}}, has the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, or is under the effect of {{m|Telekinesis}} or {{m|Magnet Rise}}. An Iron Ball does not prevent Magnet Rise or Telekinesis from being used successfully.

====Generation IV====
If held by a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, it takes 1× damage from Ground-type moves if its secondary type is not weak to or resists {{type|Ground}} attacks.

Even if the holder has {{a|Klutz}} or is affected by {{m|Embargo}}, its Speed is still halved by the Iron Ball.

====Generation V onward====
If held by a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, it takes 1× damage from Ground-type moves, regardless of its other types. This does not apply during [[Inverse Battle]]s or if the holder is [[grounded]] by any other effect.

All of the effects of the Iron Ball are negated by {{a|Klutz}}, {{m|Embargo}}, and {{m|Magic Room}}.

{{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} found an Iron Ball amongst the metal items drawn out of the ground in [[Celestic Town]] by the {{a|Magnet Pull|magnetic field}} from [[Cyrus]]'s {{p|Magnezone}}.

==Trivia==
* The Iron Ball enables {{m|Fling}} to reach its highest [[Power|base power]] of 130. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, this status is matched by {{TR|43|Overheat}} and {{TR|71|Leaf Storm}}, which contain moves with 130 base power. Starting from the same games, [[Big Nugget]] also shares this status.
* In [[Pokkén Tournament]], if the chosen character is {{pokken|Machamp}}, sometimes it will throw two Iron Balls three times before the fight begins.

HP

Marthius: /* HP bar */

:''For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set officially abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.''

'''HP''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|HP|エイチピー}}'''), short for '''Hit Point''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''Hit Point''), is a [[stat]] that determines how much [[damage]] a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]].

==In the core series games==
Each Pokémon has a maximum HP value, and the current HP value which is somewhere between 0 (if it has fainted) or the maximum HP (if it has full HP).

As with other stats, a Pokémon's maximum HP usually increases with their [[level]], and is a combination of the Pokémon's [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]. Some [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] tend to have a higher or lower HP than others, and some individual Pokémon may have different HP even if they are of the same species and level. A Pokémon's maximum HP may reach hundreds of points. However, {{p|Shedinja}} is a special case, whose maximum HP is always 1.

A Pokémon needs to have at least 1 HP to be able to {{pkmn|battle}}. If a Pokémon reaches 0 HP, it has [[fainting|fainted]]. However, a fainted Pokémon can still use [[field move]]s outside of battle, such as {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}}, etc.

The player's Pokémon are able to enter into battle with less than full HP if they have not been healed yet. The opposing Pokémon (both wild and owned by NPCs) always start battles with full HP. However, if a [[roaming Pokémon]] takes damage and then flees from the current battle, it will still have the same damage (that is, the amount of HP lost) when it is found for the next battle.

In a battle between Trainers, the objective is causing all the opposing Pokémon to reach 0 HP and faint, at which point the battle ends. In a battle against a [[wild Pokémon]], the player may wish to deal some damage to the wild Pokémon and decrease its HP for the purpose of [[Caught Pokémon|catching]] it more easily. However, if the wild Pokémon reaches 0 HP and faints, the battle will end and this Pokémon will not be caught.

If all Pokémon in the player's [[party]] faint, then the player [[black out|blacks out]]. This causes the player to lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and be sent to a [[Pokémon Center]] (or to the [[player's house]] at the start of the game), at which point all of the player's Pokémon will be healed automatically.

In [[Generation V]] only, danger music plays when the player's Pokémon is in red HP. This also happens when an NPC-controlled ally Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] reaches red HP.

===HP bar===
The current and maximum HP of each Pokémon is usually shown as a horizontal bar, which displays how much HP each Pokémon has; this is visible in a [[Pokémon battle]], as well as in the [[party]] and [[summary]] screens. Additionally, the player may see exactly the number of current and maximum HP for each of their Pokémon. The Pokémon that are not owned by the player (including Pokémon owned by [[non-player character]]s, as well as [[wild Pokémon]]) have their HP bars visible in battle as well, but the exact number of their current and maximum HP number is not revealed to the player.

In [[Generation I]], if the HP bar's fill was 27 pixels or wider (out of a total end-to-end length of 48 pixels), it would be colored green; if it was between 10 and 26 pixels, it would be colored yellow; and if it was less than 10 pixels wide, it would be colored red. This means the HP bar turns yellow noticeably earlier than in the later games, or at about 56% of the Pokémon's maximum HP.

From [[Generation II]] onwards, if a Pokémon has more than half of its max HP, its HP bar remains green. If the Pokémon has between one-fifth and half of its HP, the bar will turn yellow (in Generation II, a Pokémon revived to exactly half of its HP will have a green HP bar). If a Pokémon has less than one-fifth of its HP remaining, the bar will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-{{gen|IV}}), a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome ([[Generation V]]), or a series of 4 beeping sounds before fading away (since [[Generation VI]]) will notify the player that their Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]]. Before Generation VI, this beeping will continue until the Pokémon is switched out to another Pokémon which has at least one-fifth of its HP, has its HP raised to one-fifth or higher by any means, or faints.

The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]]. Since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, if a Pokémon's HP bar is green, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but if the Pokémon faints, its cry will be lowered by a whole step. Also, since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the Pokémon has less than half its total HP, its cry will be lowered by a half-step to indicate its weakened state.

In [[Double Battle]]s in Generations III and IV, the HP of the player's Pokémon is shown as a bar without the number by default. The number mode can be toggled with the Start button. In [[Generation V]], this applies to [[Triple Battle]]s and [[Rotation Battle]]s instead of Double Battles.

====Animation====
Prior to Generation VI, the speed at which the HP bar depletes after a Pokémon has received damage is dependent on a Pokémon's HP. Its relation to HP is different per [[generation]],<ref>[[List of glitches in Generation II#HP bar animation|Information about HP bar animation in Generation II]]</ref> but the speed is noticeably different between Pokémon with high and low HP stats. The HP bar in Generation IV depletes 1 HP for every 2 frames at 60 FPS (except for the first HP lost, which only takes 1 frame) for Pokémon with more HP than the number of pixels in the HP bar.<ref>[//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giqb514NgoE Video about HP bar animation in Generation IV]</ref> This leads to Pokémon like {{p|Blissey}} taking over twenty seconds to [[fainting|faint]] from full health at high levels.

Interestingly, HP depletion speed can be used to narrow down how much damage an opponent's Pokémon has taken without seeing its actual HP stats.

[[File:V-create BW.png]] [[File:Destiny Bond V.png]]

The HP bar visibly decreases slower for {{p|Drifblim}} compared to {{p|Shuckle}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Prior to Generation V, the HP bar immediately drops to 0 for the user of a move that causes the user to faint, such as {{m|Explosion}}.

[[File:Explosion IV.png]][[File:Explosion V.png]]

{{p|Electrode}}'s HP immediately dropping to 0 in Generation IV compared to {{p|Gigalith}}'s HP depleting gradually in Generation V.

===Losing HP===
The most common way for a Pokémon to lose HP is by being hit by a move that deals [[damage]]; most [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s can deal damage. However, there are other ways to lose HP, such as making [[contact]] to a Pokémon with {{a|Iron Barbs}}, or being hit by a {{weather|sandstorm}}.

===Restoring HP===
The player may use a [[Pokémon Center]] to completely heal all the Pokémon in the party (including their HP, [[PP]], and [[status condition]]s).

In [[Generation I]], it is possible to start a [[Game Link Cable|link]] battle with Pokémon that have less than full HP if they have not been healed yet. However, all Pokémon are completely healed after each link battle. From [[Generation II]] onwards, all Pokémon are automatically healed before all link battles.

In Generation I, the Pokémon deposited in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] are not healed. From Generation {{gen|II}} onwards, the deposited Pokémon are completely healed.

In all core series games, the player's Pokémon are also automatically healed after the first battle against a [[rival]] character.

====HP-restoring items====

These are the items that [[:Category:HP-restoring items|restore a Pokémon's HP]]. Most of these items are consumed when used, except the repeatable items such as [[Leftovers]]. Almost all these items only work on Pokémon that are not [[fainted]], except the [[:Category:Reviving items|reviving items]] at the end of the list.

===Dynamaxing===
{{main|Dynamax|section=Dynamax Level and HP}}
When a Pokémon [[Dynamax]]es, its HP is increased by 50% until the Dynamax state wears off. By increasing a Pokémon's Dynamax Level, this increase can be raised up to 100%, with each level providing a 5% increase.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
{{main|HP (TCG)|section=Trading Card Game series}}

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, a Pokémon is at "critically low HP" when it has less than 25% of its max HP left.

==In animation==
[[File:HP PO.png|thumb|250px|HP in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Hit Points have only ever been explicitly mentioned in the {{pkmn|animated series}} once. Specifically, they were mentioned by {{an|Misty}} in the dubbed version of {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]''. However, in {{aniseries|PTS}}, battles held in official tournaments or competitions often track the battling Pokémon's health on a jumbotron, though the term "Hit Points" or "HP" is not used.

===Pokémon Origins===
As first seen in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', facilities like [[Gym]]s and the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] feature screens that display a Pokémon's HP in the form of a bar, similar to the {{pkmn|games}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:HP Adventures.png|thumb|250px|HP in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
HP has been mentioned several times throughout [[Pokémon Adventures]], the first mention occurring in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', an HP bar similar to the games was seen at [[Indigo Plateau]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:QuaquavalSVPPromo5.jpg|180px|thumb|This {{OBP|Quaquaval|SVP Promo 5}} card has 170 HP, as shown in the top-right corner]]
{{main|HP (TCG)}}
The {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards have an HP (Japanese: {{tt|HP|エイチピー}}) value at the top-right corner. It represents the health of each Pokémon card and the amount of {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|damage}} it can take before being {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Knocked Out}}.

'''Shadow Ball''' (Japanese: '''シャドーボール''' ''Shadow Ball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is:
* [[TM30]] from Generation II to [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], and in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* [[TM43]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TR33]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* [[TM114]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* [[TM074]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Effect==
Shadow Ball deals damage and has a 20% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Special Defense}} by one stage, even in Generations [[Generation II|II]] and [[Generation III|III]] where it was a [[physical move]].

Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are unaffected by Shadow Ball.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Shadow Ball's PP has been reduced to 10, and it has a 20% chance of lowering the target's defensive stats.

Shadow Ball inflicts damage and may lower the enemy's Special Defense by one stage.

Erroneously, in Japanese version of Explorers of Time and Darkness, this move instead affected the target's Defense.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{sbw|Shadow Ball}} is {{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s standard special move. It is chargeable and moves in a zigzag fashion. Mewtwo holds its hands the same way it does in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' when forming a Shadow Ball, but the ball itself has a unique design. The blue color of the ball resembles how it looks in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], while Mewtwo charges, any enemy that touches the charging Shadow Ball gets damaged. This was changed in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], where it no longer can damage opponents while charging. Mewtwo also uses Shadow Ball on its opponents when {{sbw|throw}}ing them {{sbw|Forward throw|forwards}}.

{{SSB|Lucario}}, who debuted in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], uses {{sbw|Aura Sphere}}, which functions similarly.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Shadow Ball is {{p|Gengar}}'s and {{p|Hoopa}}'s first move.

Gengar can obtain the move by reaching level 7 as {{p|Haunter}} and upgrading {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} into it instead of {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. The user hurls a shadowy ball forward in a line – damaging, slowing, and reducing the Special Defense of enemies hit. This ball pierces through wild Pokémon. At level 13, its damage increases.

Hoopa can obtain the move by upgrading {{m|Astonish}} at level 6 into it instead of {{m|Phantom Force}}. The move has the user unleash a shadowy blob in front of itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and decreasing their movement speed and Sp. Def for a short time. If the user then hits the same opposing Pokémon with a move or boosted attack within a set amount of time, it deals additional damage to the opposing Pokémon and leaves them unable to act for a short time. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally Pokémon linked by Trick, this move will also unleash a shadowy blob at the same target from that ally’s location. At level 12, the shadowy blob will now explode before it disappears. Opposing Pokémon hit by the explosion are affected as if they were hit by the shadowy blob itself. In Unbound form, this move is replaced by {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cruik Muk Shadow Ball Colo.png|thumb|250px|Muk using Shadow Ball in Colosseum]]
* Due to Shadow Ball being a [[physical move]] prior to [[Generation IV]], Shadow Ball is the only damaging move to have ever dealt damage in a different [[Damage category|category]] from {{DL|Statistic|Special Defense|the target's defensive stat it lowers}}, excluding [[Max Move]]s.
* Shadow Ball was [[M01|introduced]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}} prior to the {{pkmn|games}}.
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, in [[Mt. Battle Area 10]] in Battle Mode Singles as well as in [[Battle Now (Colosseum)|Battle Now]], {{tc|Cooltrainer}} Cruik's {{p|Muk}} knows Shadow Ball, although Muk cannot learn this move until Generation IV.
* In [[Generation III]] and {{LGPE}}, Shadow Ball was the only Ghost-type move that could be taught via [[TM]].
** In [[Generation VIII]], Shadow Ball is the only Ghost-type move that can be taught via [[TR]].
* Shadow Ball is the only Ghost-type move to change damage categories in the transition from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]].
** While {{m|Night Shade}} also became a special attack, it is a fixed damage attack and is therefore not affected by the change in damage category.

'''Fling''' (Japanese: '''なげつける''' ''Fling'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is:
* [[TM56]] from Generation IV to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM59]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM043]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

==Effect==
Fling inflicts damage; the power of the move is determined by the user's [[held item]].

Fling fails if the user has no held item, or if its held item is a [[TM]], an [[Apricorn]], a [[Gem]], any type of [[Poké Ball]], [[Mail]], a [[Z-Crystal]], an [[Ability Capsule]], an [[Ability Patch]], a [[Festival Ticket]], the [[Red Orb]], the [[Blue Orb]], the [[Rusted Sword]], or the [[Rusted Shield]]. Fling also fails if used by a {{p|Giratina}} holding the [[Griseous Orb]], an {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[plate]], a {{p|Genesect}} holding a [[drive]], a {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[memory]], a Pokémon holding a [[Mega Stone]] that allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Protosynthesis}} or {{a|Quark Drive}} holding [[Booster Energy]], or an {{p|Ogerpon}} holding the [[Cornerstone Mask]], the [[Wellspring Mask]], or the [[Hearthflame Mask]]. After using Fling, the item is consumed, even if the target was protected by a {{cat|protection moves|protection move}}.

The power of Fling based on the held item is detailed in the following table.

If the user holds a [[TR]], Fling's power is equal to the power of the move the TR contains, unless the move does not list a specific power (i.e. it is a [[status move]] or has {{cat|Moves that have variable power|variable power}} with no default power), in which case it has 10 power. Due to this, {{TR|71|Leaf Storm}} and {{TR|43|Overheat}} match the Iron Ball and Big Nugget in producing the maximum possible Fling power of 130.

If the user's held item can boost the power of moves (such as the [[Black Glasses]] or [[Life Orb]]), the power of Fling is boosted by the held item accordingly (if applicable). Because the user is no longer holding the item after using the move, the Life Orb does not reduce the user's HP when it boosts the power of Fling.

If a Pokémon holding a Berry uses Fling, that Berry will activate for the target (even if its usual trigger condition is not satisfied). Additionally, some other items have special effects when a Pokémon holding them uses Fling:

{{m|Embargo}}, {{a|Klutz}} (from [[Generation V]] onward), and {{m|Magic Room}} all prevent the usage of Fling. In [[Generation IV]] only, if the target of Fling is under the effect of Embargo and the user was holding an item with a special effect, the item's effect will not activate.

Fling can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Celebrate}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Happy Hour}}, or {{m|Wish}} was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, Fling is a [[status move]] that sends the enemy in front flying across the room. If there is another enemy Pokémon in range, the target will collide, causing both Pokémon to take 10 HP damage. Despite being classified as a status move, it is only affected by {{m|Taunt}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] onward, using Fling opens the inventory and allows the leader to choose an item to fling (excluding held items). It only works when an enemy is within a fan-shaped area up to 10 tiles in front; in hallways, the range is 2 tiles, or 5 starting in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}. Like [[Gravelerock]]s, the thrown item will be flung in an arc, but the move cannot target Pokémon through walls, even when throwing rock items. Fling also ignores allies and is not affected by the Power-Pitching and Slip-Through [[Team Skill]]s. Other Pokémon that use this move will fling their held item. The move is unaffected by {{a|Prankster}}.

In Gates to Infinity, Fling will wake up sleeping-spawned Pokémon even if the move fails due to an obstruction.

==Trivia==
* Fling is one of two moves with a 100% chance of causing [[flinch]]ing (if holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]]), the other being {{m|Fake Out}}.
* Fling is the only {{type|Dark}} move able to cause {{status|paralysis}} (if holding a [[Light Ball]]), a {{status|burn}} (if holding a [[Flame Orb]]), or {{status|poison}}ing (if holding a [[Poison Barb]] or [[Toxic Orb]]).
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Fling can also be used to throw the remains of attacks, such as when [[Bianca's Emboar]] flung the remains of [[Trip]]'s {{p|Conkeldurr}}'s {{m|Stone Edge}} at it. It can also be used to throw the opponent.

Gulp Missile (Ability)

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|VIII|When the Pokémon uses Surf or Dive, it will come back with prey. When it takes damage, it will spit out the prey to attack.}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|When the Pokémon uses Surf or Dive, it will come back with prey. When it takes damage, it will spit out the prey to attack.}}
|}
'''Gulp Missile''' (Japanese: '''うのミサイル''' ''Gulp Missile'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Cramorant}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
If a Cramorant with Gulp Missile uses {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}}, it catches prey and changes its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Cramorant|form]] depending on its remaining HP.

If its HP is over half, it catches an {{p|Arrokuda}} and changes into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Cramorant|Gulping Form]]. If its HP is under half, it instead catches a {{p|Pikachu}} and changes into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Cramorant|Gorging Form]]. If hit by an attack in either form, Cramorant spits out its catch at the attacker, dealing damage equal to ¼ of the attacker's maximum HP and inflicting a secondary effect depending on its catch: Arrokuda lowers the attacker's {{stat|Defense}} by one stage, while Pikachu {{status|paralysis|paralyzes}} it. Cramorant returns to its base form after spitting out its catch.

If the attacker has {{a|Magic Guard}}, it will take no damage, but still trigger the cutscene and take the Defense drop or paralysis.

If Cramorant [[Dynamax]]es while it has a catch in its mouth, it reverts to its base form (without spitting its catch). Even if a Dynamaxed Cramorant uses Surf or Dive (only possible as a wild Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]]), it will not change into its Gulping or Gorging Form.

{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} fail if the target has Gulp Missile. {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} fail if either Pokémon has Gulp Missile. Gulp Missile cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}} or replace {{a|Receiver}}. Gulp Missile cannot be suppressed by {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}. Gulp Missile cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or {{a|Lingering Aroma}}.

If a Pokémon with {{a|Imposter}} copies a Cramorant, or a Pokémon with {{m|Transform}} transforms into a Cramorant, Gulp Missile will not activate when using {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}}.

====Generation IX====
Starting from Version 3.0.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Gulp Missile can now be copied by Trace, be swapped using Skill Swap or {{A|Wandering Spirit}}, and replace Receiver.

===Outside of battle===
Gulp Missile has no effect outside of battle.

==In other games==
==={{g|UNITE}}===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Gulp Missile is {{p|Cramorant}}'s Ability. When the user has prey in its mouth, it will counterattack upon taking damage from an enemy. Alternatively, the user can shoot the prey at his enemy as a boosted basic attack. The prey bounces to one nearby enemy.

'''Tackle''' (Japanese: '''たいあたり''' ''Body Blow'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
Tackle deals damage and has no secondary effect.

Tackle may not be counted as a move one has to learn, because many Pokémon who aren't able to learn Tackle in the games can use it in the anime (such as Pikachu in the Kanto series). Tackle may just be an extra command a trainer can give their Pokémon to cause extra damage to the opponent.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:38:51Z

Marthius: /* List of stones */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

In {{game|Crystal}}, they are also given away by [[Schoolboy]] Alan. They can also be found on the ground in certain locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]].

Ash kept this Thunderstone with him until ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when Pikachu again denied evolution when offered the chance.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====

* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Maansteen
* Italian: Pietralunare

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietrasolare

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

====In other languages====

In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietralbore

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietraovale

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:37:36Z

Marthius: /* List of stones */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==
===[[Image:FireStoneSprite.png]] Fire Stone===

In {{game|Crystal}}, they are also given away by [[Schoolboy]] Alan. They can also be found on the ground in certain locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]].

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Bladsteen

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Maansteen
* Italian: Pietralunare

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietrasolare

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietrabrillo

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

====In other languages====
* Italian: Neropietra

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietralbore

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:33:30Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Bladsteen

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Maansteen
* Italian: Pietralunare

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:32:30Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:32:11Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:31:58Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==
===[[Image:FireStoneSprite.png]] Fire Stone===

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====

The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Maansteen

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:31:09Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}

* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Maansteen
* Italian: Pietralunare

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:30:14Z

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Maansteen|Moonstone}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:29:15Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:28:17Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====

[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Maansteen|Moonstone}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:26:44Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Bladsteen|Leafstone}}

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}

* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Maansteen|Moonstone}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

====In other languages====

* Dutch: {{tt|Immersteen|Everstone}}

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]

Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:26:03Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Maansteen|Moonstone}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

They can also be found on the ground in certain locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]].

As the name suggests, it is strongly associated with {{type2|Grass}}s. It is earth colored with a leaf pattern imprinted onto it.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====

* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:23:31Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:23:07Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====

[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

* Dutch: {{tt|Maansteen|Moonstone}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Evolution stone

2009-10-09T14:19:52Z

Marthius: /* In other languages */

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]].

A Pokémon whose evolution requires the use of a stone may have it used on them at any time, causing instant evolution which cannot be canceled. The evolutionary stone must be directly used on the Pokémon, rather than being held by it, with the exception of the Oval Stone.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Bladsteen|Leafstone}}

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: {{tt|Maansteen|Moonstone}}

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.
