====In the overworld====
====Evolution prevention====
A Pokémon holding an Everstone cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] by [[level]]-up or [[trade]]. (It does not prevent a Pokémon evolving via [[Evolution stone]].)
{{incomplete|section|State whether the Everstone prevents any other methods of Evolution. The evolutions of these Pokémon are not currently covered by this article: {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}}, and several evolutions from being exposed to items ({{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{p|Applin}}, {{p|Sinistea}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Charcadet}}, {{p|Poltchageist}}, and {{p|Duraludon}}) - it is not needed to verify the Pokémon exclusive to Legends: Arceus since this game has no held item feature}}


From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Everstone fails to prevent {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving. If either {{p|Karrablast}} or {{p|Shelmet}} holds an Everstone when traded for the other, neither can evolve.
A Pokémon [[held item|holding]] an Everstone is [[evolution prevention|prevented]] from [[Evolution|evolving]] using certain [[Methods of Evolution|methods]] depending on the games.
 
In all games where the Everstone is available, this item prevents any of the methods of Evolution triggered by gaining a [[level]] in {{pkmn|battle}} or by consuming a [[Rare Candy]]. This includes but is not limited to leveling up [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|at or above a certain level]], or [[friendship Evolution|with high friendship]], or in certain locations, or knowing a certain move, holding a certain item, and so on.
 
If a Pokémon is able to [[trade Evolution|evolve by trade]] with no held item, then it is possible to prevent this evolution by trading it with a held Everstone. However, this does not work in [[Generation III]] due to [[List of glitches in Generation III#held item loss glitch|a glitch]] which causes those Pokémon to consume whatever item they are holding (including the Everstone) while evolving. In [[Generation II]] only, the Everstone is able to prevent {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving into {{p|Alakazam}}. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, a Kadabra still evolves into Alakazam while holding an Everstone due to an explicitly programmed exception.
 
If either {{p|Karrablast}} or {{p|Shelmet}} holds an Everstone when traded for the other, neither will evolve.
 
Only in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|VIII}}, a Pokémon holding an Everstone is unable to evolve by using an [[Evolution stone]]. In Generation VIII, the text "Cannot use" appears when attempting to use an Evolution stone to evolve a Pokémon that is holding an Everstone.
 
If {{p|Kubfu}} is holding an Everstone when the player interacts with the scroll at the [[Tower of Waters]] or [[Tower of Darkness]] for the first time, [[Mustard]] will notice and allow the player to not evolve it.<ref>https://twitter.com/Unowninator/status/1273761053545885696 Kubfu with an Everstone</ref>


====Breeding====
====Breeding====
=====Natures=====
=====Natures=====
{{incomplete|section|Does the Everstone work if held by a female Pokémon bred with Ditto in E/DPPt?  What happens if both parents hold an Everstone in HGSS/BW?}}
{{MoveResearch|Does the Everstone work if held by a female Pokémon bred with Ditto in E/DPPt?  What happens if both parents hold an Everstone in HGSS/BW?}}
In {{game|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, if held by a [[gender|female]] Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Day Care]], [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the same [[Nature]] as that parent. In [[Generation IV]], this does not work if the parents come from games in different languages (due to the [[Masuda method]]).
In {{game|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, if held by a [[gender|female]] Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Day Care]], [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the same [[Nature]] as that parent. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s}}, this is changed so that either parent will have a 50% chance of having its nature passed down, if that parent holds an everstone. In either case, in [[Generation IV]], this does not work if the parents come from games in different languages (due to the [[Masuda method]]).


In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s}}, if held by either parent in [[Pokémon Day Care]], bred Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the same [[Nature]] as the parent holding the Everstone. In [[Generation IV]], this does not work if the parents come from games in different languages (due to the [[Masuda method]]).
In {{B2W2}} and [[Generation VI]] onward, if held by either parent in [[Pokémon Day Care]] or the [[Pokémon Nursery]], bred Pokémon are guaranteed to have the same [[Nature]] as the parent holding the Everstone. If both parents hold an Everstone, each parent has an equal chance of passing down their [[Nature]].


In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} and [[Generation VI]] onward, if held by either parent in [[Pokémon Day Care]] or the [[Pokémon Nursery]], bred Pokémon are guaranteed to have the same [[Nature]] as the parent holding the Everstone. If both parents hold an Everstone, each parent has an equal chance of passing down their [[Nature]].
=====Regional forms=====
At the [[Pokémon Nursery]], when breeding Pokémon who would produce offspring that has a [[regional form]], if a parent that is part of the same evolutionary line as the offspring holds an Everstone, bred Pokémon will be the same regional form as the parent that is holding the Everstone, regardless of the region they are bred in. (Normally, bred Pokémon with regional forms are always in the form corresponding to the region in which they were bred.)


=====Regional forms=====
If both parents hold an Everstone, the form will correspond to the female parent. However, in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to an oversight, breeding a Unovan {{p|Stunfisk}} and a [[Galarian form|Galarian]] Stunfisk that both hold Everstones will always result in Unovan Stunfisk offspring, regardless of the parents' genders.
If held by a Pokémon that has [[regional form]]s in the [[Pokémon Nursery]], bred Pokémon will be the same regional form as the parent regardless of the region they are bred in. (Normally, hatched Pokémon are always in the form corresponding to the region in which they were bred.)

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], {{LGPE}}, and {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the Everstone is unavailable due to the lack of the [[held item]] feature. In those games, there is no way to prevent a Pokémon's evolution from being triggered. However, depending on the method of evolution used, it is still possible to cancel it [[Evolution prevention#B button|pressing B]] during the evolution cutscene.
** Since it is not possible to press B to cancel an [[trade Evolution|evolution by trade]], then the player is unable to simply trade the unevolved Pokémon in the games with no held item feature. Similarly, in all games other than in [[Generation II]], it is not possible to trade a {{p|Kadabra}} without evolving it into {{p|Alakazam}}.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], Mindy offers the player a {{p|Haunter}} as an [[in-game trade]] in [[Snowpoint City]]. Since this Haunter is holding an Everstone, it does not evolve into {{p|Gengar}}.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, a question on the Biology class's Final Exam references this item, specifically its interaction with [[Evolution stone]]s: "If a Pokémon is holding an Everstone, will using an item that induces Evolution, such as a [[Fire Stone]], cause it to evolve?". In earlier versions of the games, <!--Up to which version, exactly?--> the "correct" answer (as indicated by the score received after the exam) is that holding an Everstone will prevent an {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stone|eligible Pokémon}} from evolving using its corresponding stone, even though this has not been an effect of the Everstone since [[Generation IV]]. This was changed in an update, <!--Which one?--> changing the correct answer to "Yes, it will [evolve]."

Evolution prevention

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: State whether the Everstone prevents any other methods of Evolution. The evolutions of these Pokémon are not currently covered by this article: Galarian Yamask, Galarian Farfetch'd, Hisuian Qwilfish, and several evolutions from being exposed to items (Galarian Slowpoke, Applin, Sinistea, Kubfu, Charcadet, Poltchageist, and Duraludon) - it is not needed to verify the Pokémon exclusive to Legends: Arceus since this game has no held item feature

A Pokémon holding an Everstone is prevented from evolving using certain methods depending on the games.

In all games where the Everstone is available, this item prevents any of the methods of Evolution triggered by gaining a level in battle or by consuming a Rare Candy. This includes but is not limited to leveling up at or above a certain level, or with high friendship, or in certain locations, or knowing a certain move, holding a certain item, and so on.

If a Pokémon is able to evolve by trade with no held item, then it is possible to prevent this evolution by trading it with a held Everstone. However, this does not work in Generation III due to a glitch which causes those Pokémon to consume whatever item they are holding (including the Everstone) while evolving. In Generation II only, the Everstone is able to prevent Kadabra from evolving into Alakazam. From Generation IV onwards, a Kadabra still evolves into Alakazam while holding an Everstone due to an explicitly programmed exception.

If either Karrablast or Shelmet holds an Everstone when traded for the other, neither will evolve.

Only in Generations II and VIII, a Pokémon holding an Everstone is unable to evolve by using an Evolution stone. In Generation VIII, the text "Cannot use" appears when attempting to use an Evolution stone to evolve a Pokémon that is holding an Everstone.

If Kubfu is holding an Everstone when the player interacts with the scroll at the Tower of Waters or Tower of Darkness for the first time, Mustard will notice and allow the player to not evolve it.[1]

Breeding

Natures
151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Does the Everstone work if held by a female Pokémon bred with Ditto in E/DPPt? What happens if both parents hold an Everstone in HGSS/BW?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

In Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, if held by a female Pokémon or Ditto in Pokémon Day Care, bred Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the same Nature as that parent. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and Pokémon Black and White, this is changed so that either parent will have a 50% chance of having its nature passed down, if that parent holds an everstone. In either case, in Generation IV, this does not work if the parents come from games in different languages (due to the Masuda method).

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and Generation VI onward, if held by either parent in Pokémon Day Care or the Pokémon Nursery, bred Pokémon are guaranteed to have the same Nature as the parent holding the Everstone. If both parents hold an Everstone, each parent has an equal chance of passing down their Nature.

Regional forms

At the Pokémon Nursery, when breeding Pokémon who would produce offspring that has a regional form, if a parent that is part of the same evolutionary line as the offspring holds an Everstone, bred Pokémon will be the same regional form as the parent that is holding the Everstone, regardless of the region they are bred in. (Normally, bred Pokémon with regional forms are always in the form corresponding to the region in which they were bred.)

If both parents hold an Everstone, the form will correspond to the female parent. However, in Pokémon Sword and Shield, due to an oversight, breeding a Unovan Stunfisk and a Galarian Stunfisk that both hold Everstones will always result in Unovan Stunfisk offspring, regardless of the parents' genders.
