An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

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 a 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]]. It, like the other stones released prior to [[Generation IV]], is often found [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]

It is related to the sun. Pokémon that evolve with the Sun Stone have a connection to it. It is orange in color and spherical in shape with spikes around its circumference.

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

====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===

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 Veilstone Building]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. 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}}

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===

====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===
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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

[[Image:Evostones.jpg|thumb|right|A collection of evolutionary stones in the anime]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

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 a 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]]. It, like the other stones released prior to [[Generation IV]], is often found [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]

===[[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===

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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.

* 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}}.

[[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 [[Monday]] [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} dance around. Also, Mom will place one in the PC after they a certain amount of money is saved by her. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} 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.

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}}.

====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]].

This is one of five stones which can never be bought at 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 a 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]]. It, like the other stones released prior to [[Generation IV]], is often found [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]

It is related to the sun. Pokémon that evolve with the Sun Stone have a connection to it. It is orange in color and spherical in shape with spikes around its circumference.

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}}.
* Eevee → {{p|Espeon}}

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Veilstone Building]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. 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|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===
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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

[[Image:Evostones.jpg|thumb|right|A collection of evolutionary stones in the anime]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

[[Image:Evostones.jpg|thumb|right|A collection of evolutionary stones in the anime]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

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 a 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]]. It, like the other stones released prior to [[Generation IV]], is often found [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]

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}}

===[[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===
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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

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===
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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

[[Image:Evostones.jpg|thumb|right|A collection of evolutionary stones in the anime]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==

[[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 each [[Monday]] [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the Clefairy dance around. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} 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.

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}}.

====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]].

This is one of five stones which can never be bought at 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 a 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]]. It, like the other stones released prior to [[Generation IV]], is often found [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]

It is related to the sun. Pokémon that evolve with the Sun Stone have a connection to it. It is orange in color and spherical in shape with spikes around its circumference.

====Evolves====

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Veilstone Building]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. 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|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===
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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

[[Image:Evostones.jpg|thumb|right|A collection of evolutionary stones in the anime]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

* 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.

[[Image:Evostones.jpg|thumb|right|A collection of evolutionary stones in the anime]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''進化の石''') is a type of [[item]] with mysterious properties. It radiates energy that causes some [[Pokémon]] to [[evolution|evolve]].

If a Pokémon's next stage requires the use of a stone, then it can be applied at any time, thus causing instant evolution, which cannot be canceled.

However, once exposed to an evolutionary stone, most Pokémon can no longer learn any more moves by leveling up. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

Evolutionary stones can be found in many places, and are uncommonly found in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The [[Celadon Department Store]] sells several kinds during [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]].

There are eleven types of evolutionary stones.

==List of stones==
===[[Image:FireStoneSprite.png]] Fire Stone===
[[Image:Pyro brother.jpg|thumb|right|Pryo and Flareon with the Fire Stone]]
Fire Stones can be bought at the [[Celadon Dept. Store]] for {{PDollar}}2100, or are given in exchange for a [[Red Shard]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} they are given away only by Bill's Grandpa if he is shown a Vulpix. 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]].

===[[Image:ThunderstoneSprite.png]] Thunderstone===
[[Image:Thunderstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding a Thunderstone]]
Thunderstones can be bought at the [[Celadon Dept. Store]] for {{PDollar}}2100, or are given in exchange for a [[Yellow Shard]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} they are given away only by Bill's Grandpa if he is shown the Pokémon he requests. In {{game|Crystal}}, they are also given away by [[Lass]] Dana.

As the name suggests, it is strongly associated with {{type2|Electric}}s. It is a green color with a thunderbolt pattern depicted.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Pikachu}} → {{p|Raichu}}
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Jolteon}}

====In the anime====
{{Ash}} was given a Thunderstone that the [[Nurse Joy]] from [[Vermilion City]] found in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. He asked Pikachu whether or not it wanted to evolve to compete against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], however, Pikachu decided not to. Ash kept this Thunderstone with him until ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when Pikachu again denied evolution when offered the chance. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} stole this Thunderstone when it was sitting on the windowsill of the room Pikachu was sleeping in.

===[[Image:LeafStoneSprite.png]] Leaf Stone===
[[Image:Leafstone.png|thumb|right|The Leaf Stone.]]
Leaf Stones can be bought at the [[Celadon Dept. Store]] for {{PDollar}}2100, or are given in exchange for a [[Green Shard]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} they are given away only by Bill's Grandpa if he is shown the Pokémon he requests. In {{game|Crystal}}, they are also given away by [[Picnicker]] Gina.

===[[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 each [[Monday]] [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the Clefairy dance around. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} 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.

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

====In the anime====
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}}.

====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}}.
* 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]].

This is one of five stones which can never be bought at 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 a 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]]. It, like the other stones released prior to [[Generation IV]], is often found [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]

It is related to the sun. Pokémon that evolve with the Sun Stone have a connection to it. It is orange in color and spherical in shape with spikes around its circumference.

====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}}.
* 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 Veilstone Building]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. 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}}

===[[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]]. 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===
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 also be found [[the Underground|underground]].

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

==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.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:OddishEvoLine.JPG|250px|thumb|Oddish'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|Oddish}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is accidentally 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]]''.

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.
* Excluding {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}, only one Pokémon that evolves by each of the stones introduced before that generation is found in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* 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}}.
* Pokémon that result from a Pokémon evolving via Leaf Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone do not have types that differ from their pre-evolutionary forms.
* 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 [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further. However, Happiny is the only one that must hold its stone to evolve, so she is more like {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Weavile}} in evolution.
* In [[National Dex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|order]], five evolution families in a row that use an evolutionary stone appear: {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.
* 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.

'''Haze''' (Japanese: '''くろいきり''' ''Black Mist'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Ice}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I and II===
Haze resets the stat levels of both active Pokémon to 0 and removes the stat reductions due to burns and paralysis as well as the effects of {{m|Focus Energy}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Mist}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{status|Confusion|Confusion}}, and the cumulative nature of {{m|Toxic}} from both active Pokémon. In addition, Haze removes any major status ailments from the opponent.

Haze does not remove any major status ailments that the user has, does not change the generic {{m|Minimize}} graphic back to the Pokémon's regular image, and does not reset either Pokémon's current type(s), current move(s), or current species.

If a frozen Pokémon that has not recharged from {{m|Hyper Beam}} has its freeze status eliminated via Haze, it will remain unable to attack, switch, or do anything else, and nothing will then be able to change this.

In Stadium, Haze eliminates any major status ailments that the user has.

===Generation III and on===
Haze's effects are the same as before, but it affects all active Pokémon on the field in a [[double battle]].

Magnet Train

2009-02-16T20:07:15Z

OlliffeObscurity:

The '''Magnet Train''' is found in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] during the [[Generation II]] games. It [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Saffron City]] twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It allows rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour.

Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable part from the [[Power Plant]] in Kanto. After defeating him in [[Cerulean City]], players can retrieve the part from the Cerulean City Gym and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

To board the train, a potential rider must have a Pass. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} of [[Saffron City]] has one (given to her as compensation for the fact that the station in Saffron is built where her house used to be), and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her [[Poké Doll]] that [[Red (game)|a boy]] gave to her three years before.

Of the two methods offered in the game to commute between Johto and Kanto, the Magnet Train is much faster and runs more often than the [[S.S. Aqua]], which runs on a set schedule between [[Olivine City]] and [[Vermilion City]].

'''Goldenrod City''' (Japanese: '''コガネシティ''' ''Kogane City'') is a sprawling metropolis located in western [[Johto]]. It is the largest city in the region, rivaling [[Saffron City]], the largest city in [[Kanto]] and Goldenrod's "sister city" in many ways in size. Goldenrod is the center of the region's economy and telecommunications. Major attractions for trainers include the [[Johto Radio Tower]], the city's [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]], [[Name Rater]], and [[Goldenrod Gym|Gym]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Goldenrod City in order to win the [[Badge#Plain Badge|Plain Badge]] from [[Whitney]], the Goldenrod [[Gym Leader]], who specializes in {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]].

==Places of interest==
===Bike Shop===
The lone Bike Shop in Johto is located in an isolated neighborhood in east Goldenrod. The owner of the shop moved his business from [[Cerulean City]] to Goldenrod in between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]].
[[Image:Anime goldenrod.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Goldenrod City in the anime]]
===Goldenrod Department Store===
{{main|Goldenrod Department Store}}
The Goldenrod Department Store, located in the city center, claims to have a full selection of Pokémon Goods for Trainers. Though the store does not carry vital items such as [[Hyper Potion]], [[Full Restore]], or [[Ultra Ball]], it does back up its claim by boasting the widest selection of specialty items in [[Johto]].

The store is composed of nine levels, including two basements and six shopping floors. The uppermost floor features a rooftop square, complete with binoculars to view locations off in the distance.

The basements of the store connect to the [[Underground Path (Goldenrod)|Underground Path]], which encompasses most of western Goldenrod.

===Goldenrod Game Corner===
{{main|Goldenrod Game Corner}}
Johto's installment of the Game Corner is located in Goldenrod across the main north-south road from the department store. The parlor features slot machines among other varieties of games. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Move tutor]] can be found standing outside the building on Wednesdays.

===Johto Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}
The Johto Name Rater is located in a house near the guard house separating Goldenrod from Route 35. Here, trainers can have the nicknames of their Pokémon rated and, if the Pokémon's ID number matches the trainer's ID number, the nickname can be changed.

===Johto Radio Tower===
{{main|Johto Radio Tower}}
The Johto Radio Tower, located at the west end of the main east-west path through the city, is the source of all [[PokéGear]] broadcasts in Johto. An antenna on top of the tower transmits three radio programs daily, with a fourth program being aired between 6 PM and 12 AM every night. The building has three studios spread over five floors.

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
Saffron City and Goldenrod City are linked by not only their mammoth sizes, but also by the Magnet Train, a high-speed train that runs regularly between the two cities. The train follows no set schedule, making the Magnet Train an ideal way to travel between Kanto and Johto.

===Underground Path===
{{main|Underground Path (Goldenrod)}}
An underground path, often called the "Underground", runs from the southwestern side of the city to the northwestern area, with a branch leading from the Underground to the department store. A pair of groomers in the tunnel will groom Pokémon, increasing the friendship value for the groomed Pokémon, for a small fee.

{{catchablefooter}}

==Notes==
*Goldenrod is the hometown of [[Bill]], the inventor of the Kanto and Johto [[Bill's PC|PC Storage System]], as well as the rest of his family, who lives in a small house near the Underground's southern entrance. However, some of his family also lives in [[Fuchsia City]].
*Other locations of interest in Goldenrod include a flower shop in the northeast area of the city as well as a woman who is able to determine the [[happiness]] of a Pokémon located in a house near the Bike Shop.
*The city's suburbs also feature a pair of notable locations. The [[National Park]] is located north of Goldenrod off of [[Route 35]] while the [[Pokémon Daycare]] is just south of the city on [[Route 34]].
*In the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Crystal]], the [[Pokémon Center]] was much larger since it had machines to use the [[Pokémon Mobile System]]'s capabilities, and it was known as the [[Pokémon Communication Center]]

==Demographics==
Goldenrod City's population is about 77, making it by far the largest city in [[Johto]]. Its population is more than double the second-most-populous city in Johto, [[Violet City]]. This number also makes Goldenrod the biggest city in the Pokémon world, with 6 more than [[Lilycove City]], the second biggest. This high number is likely due to Goldenrod being the biggest city in the Pokémon world in terms of area and volume.

==Name origin==
{{wp|Goldenrod}}s are a type of yellow-colored flowering plant. Kogane (黄金) means gold.

'''Cherrygrove City''' (Japanese: '''ヨシノシティ''' ''Yoshino City'') is located in south-central [[Johto]]. It is known as "the City of Cute, Fragrant Flowers." Though the city has no [[gym]], it is frequently passed through by [[Pokémon trainer]]s on their way to [[Violet City]] from [[New Bark Town]]. The city acts mainly as a tutorial, introducing the player to the main tools of the game (the [[Pokémon Center]], the [[Poké Mart]], etc.)

==Places of Interest==
===City Tour===
Guide Gent, who first stands near the east entrance of Cherrygrove will offer the character a tour of the city. The tour route includes the [[Pokémon Center]], the [[Pokémon Mart]], the exit to Route 30, the sea, and Guide Gent's house.

'''Route 130''' is a short [[water route]] located in southeast [[Hoenn]]. The eastern terminus of the route is at {{rt|129}}. The western terminus is at {{rt|131}}. At first glance, the route does not contain any items of interest, but on certain days, the pathway is home to [[Mirage Island]].

==Route description==
From Route 129, Route 130 maintains an east-west alignment for its entire length. Only two trainers (three in {{v2|Emerald}}) reside on the route, making the task of traversing the pathway that much easier.

On certain days, Mirage Island, a large landmass, will appear in the middle of Route 130.

==Trivia==
*Route 130 bears numerous similarities to {{rt|230}} in [[Sinnoh]]; Both routes have numbers that end in 30, they are both horizontal sea routes, with no north or south exits, and both contain an island with grass, stairs, and a place to plant berries. This island is also the only place to encounter a certain [[baby Pokémon]] in the wild ({{p|Wynaut}} on Route 130, {{p|Togepi}} on Route 230). However, in Route 130's case, Mirage Island isn't always there.

'''Route 131''' is a [[water route]] located in southern [[Hoenn]]. The route links {{rt|130}} in the east to [[Pacifidlog Town]] in the west. The [[Sky Pillar]] is also present along the northern edge of the route.

==Route description==
Heading west from Route 130, Route 131 passes by a pair of trainers (in Emerald only) before coming to the mouth of the winding channel that leads to the Sky Pillar. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there is a female [[Swimmer]] west of the channel mouth. In all Hoenn-based [[Generation III]] games, there are two more Swimmers to her west.

Northeast of the second Swimmer in this group is a lone Swimmer in the middle of the route. To his northeast is a [[Sis and Bro]] trainer team. South of the duo in {{game|Emerald}} is yet another trainer.

Pacifidlog is a short paddle to the west from this point.

'''Route 130''' is a short [[water route]] located in southeast [[Hoenn]]. The eastern terminus of the route is at {{rt|129}}. The western terminus is at {{rt|131}}. At first glance, the route does not contain any items of interest, but on certain days, the pathway is home to [[Mirage Island]].

==Route description==
From Route 129, Route 130 maintains an east-west alignment for its entire length. Only two trainers (three in {{v2|Emerald}}) reside on the route, making the task of traversing the pathway that much easier.

On certain days, Mirage Island, a large landmass, will appear in the middle of Route 130.

==Trivia==
*Route 130 bears numerous similarities to {{rt|230}} in [[Sinnoh]]; Both routes have numbers that end in 30, they are both horizontal sea routes, with no north or south exits, and both contain an island with grass, stairs, and a place to plant berries. This island is also the only place to encounter a certain [[baby Pokémon]] in the wild ({{p|Wynaut}} on Route 130, {{p|Togepi}} on Route 230). However, in Route 130's case, Mirage Island isn't always there.

'''Route 129''' is a short [[water route]] in southeast [[Hoenn]], connecting {{rt|128}} in the east to {{rt|130}} in the west. There are no items of interest along the route, making the path similar in both shape and function to [[Kanto]]'s {{rt|19}}.

==Route description==
Heading south from Route 128, the route passes a [[Swimmer]] before beginning to turn to the southwest. While embarking on this turn, Route 129 passes another trainer. Directly west of the trainer is a third Swimmer set aside in an enclosed area of the route. The main path of the route continues southwest, turning to the west as it passes south of the enclosed area. After passing by another trainer, the route continues uninterrupted onto Route 130.

In {{game|Emerald}}, a second trainer was added near the western terminus of the route.

'''Route 128''' is a north-south [[water route]] located in southeast [[Hoenn]]. Like {{rt|127}} to the north, Route 128 has many locations where trainers can {{m|Dive}} to the ocean floor and travel along underwater passages. One such underwater passage near the center of Route 128 continues north into Route 127. The southern terminus of the route is at {{rt|129}}.

Route 128 also branches off along a channel to the east to serve [[Ever Grande City]], the location of the [[Hoenn League]]. In some ways, this portion of Route 128 can be compared to {{rt|23}} in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}} and {{rt|26}} in [[Generation II]].

==Route description==
Route 128 retains the north-south alignment of Route 127 as it proceeds south past a pair of islands with one trainer each. The route turns to the southeast as it swerves to avoid the top of the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. On the east side of the cavern's surface, Route 128 splits into two paths, the main north-south path and an east-west path leading to the base of Ever Grande.

The main path of Route 128 continues southwest from this junction, passing two more islands and a trainer before turning to the south and becoming Route 129.

===Ever Grande connector===
To bypass an island located due east of the path's western terminus, the connector heads to the northeast, then to the southeast before taking on an easterly alignment near a large island playing host to a [[Fisherman]]. After passing a [[Triathlete]], the path enters the city limits of Ever Grande a short distance to the east.

===Underwater===
[[Image:Route128under.png|thumb|right|The [[underwater]] area of the route.]]
Most of the western portion of Route 128, including the area around the Seafloor Cavern, contains underwater passages that can be reached using Dive. The entrance to the Seafloor Cavern is, fittingly, on the seafloor near the southern terminus of Route 128. North of the cavern, the underwater passage continues onto the floor of Route 127.

'''Route 127''' is a lengthy and wide [[water route]] located in southeast [[Hoenn]]. Like other water routes in the [[Mossdeep City]] area, Route 127 features areas where {{m|Dive}} can be used to travel to the ocean floor. The underwater passages on this route, however, are unique in that they contain no [[Tall grass#Seaweed|seaweed]], allowing for travel along the route without being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]], as well as the fact that the main passage in the center of the route continues to {{rt|128}} to the south. The northern terminus is at Mossdeep City.

==Route description==
[[Image:Route127under.png|thumb|left|The [[underwater]] area of the route.]]
After leaving Mossdeep, the route proceeds to the southwest, passing three shallow areas of the route containing an item and a trainer. East of the second island in this group, the main underwater cavern begins, allowing trainers to use Dive to head to the ocean floor. To the south of the second island is a large rock formation that splits the route into two north-south paths. The west path connects to a channel that leads to {{rt|126}} and [[Sootopolis City]] before merging with the east path.

Northeast of this point is a large island holding three trainers. To the south of the island is a lone [[Swimmer]]. South of the trainer is another large island, holding a single trainer. Off the northeastern shore of the island is a deep spot in the ocean, which leads to a small underwater passage that ends just north of the starting point. After reemerging on the surface, trainers can {{m|Surf}} to the northwest to land on a shallow island populated with trees and a [[Carbos]].

Returning to the main path, the route passes by another Swimmer before becoming Route 128.

===Changes in Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, the third island in the northwest corner became populated with trees and became the location of a [[Rare Candy]]. Another trainer was added to the island as well.

==Items==
*[[Carbos]]: on the tree-filled island near the eastern center of the route
*[[Rare Candy]]: on the third island in the northwest corner of the route (Emerald)
*[[Zinc]]: on the first island in the northwest corner of the route
*[[Elixir]]: Somewhere in the underwater part there is a submerged rock similar to those commonly found in the desert at [[Route 111|Routes 111]] and {{rtn|112}}. Examining it gives you an Elixir.

'''Route 126''' is a circular [[water route]] located in east [[Hoenn]]. The route encircles [[Sootopolis City]], a city built in the interior of an inactive volcanic island, much like {{rt|122}} encircles what is said to be the [[Cave of Origin]]'s counterpart, [[Mt. Pyre]]. To the north of the route is {{rt|124}}, and to the east is {{rt|127}}.

Like Route 124, Route 126 features a series of underwater passages that can be reached by using {{m|Dive}}.

==Route description==
[[Image:Route126under.png|thumb|left|The [[underwater]] area of the route.]]Heading clockwise from the northernmost point on the route, Route 126 proceeds east, meeting the southern terminus of Route 124 after a short distance. Southeast of this point, the route intersects a channel that leads to Route 127. Directly west of the middle of the channel is a [[Swimmer]], one of three on the route. To the southwest, near the base of the volcano, is the second Swimmer. The third Swimmer is in the westernmost area of the route, accessible only by utilizing the network of underwater pathways.

An additional five trainers were added to the route in {{game|Emerald}}.

===Underwater===
Unlike Route 124, which had only small pools of deep water scattered throughout the route, most of Route 126 is deep enough to Dive into, including the area surrounding the volcano base. On the ocean floor, trainers can pass through [[Tall grass#Seaweed|seaweed]] to catch [[wild Pokémon]] as well as enter Sootopolis City, the entrance of which is located on the southern side of the volcano on the ocean floor.

'''Route 125''' is a short north-south [[water route]] located to the north of [[Mossdeep City]] in northeast [[Hoenn]]. The northern terminus of the route is at [[Shoal Cave]]. The southern terminus is at the north edge of Mossdeep.

==Route description==
Roughly 20 paces north of Mossdeep City, Route 125 conceptually splits into two paths. The west "path" heads to the northwest, passing two islands before reaching a shallow area of the route. At this location, trainers are allowed to dismount their [[Pokémon]] and enter Shoal Cave.

The east path passes three islands before ending at a dead end northeast of Shoal Cave.
