An Evolution item is an item that allows certain Pokémon to evolve. Depending on the Pokémon and the item, the Pokémon may need to hold the item, or the item may be able to be used directly.
Regardless of method, if a Pokémon evolves using one of these items, it consumes the item.

In the core series games
Mechanics
The way to use an Evolution item to evolve a Pokémon depends on the item. There are three distinct ways to use an Evolution item:
- Evolution-inducing held items: These Evolution items cause a Pokémon to evolve when it meets certain conditions while holding the item, such as leveling up or being traded.
- Directly-used Evolution items: These Evolution items cause a Pokémon to evolve when used on it from the Bag. They cannot be used in battle. Evolutionary stones are the most common example.
- The Sun Shard and Moon Shard: These Evolution items cause a Pokémon to evolve when it levels up while one of these items is in the Bag. They are the only Evolution items to be Key Items.
Regardless of the method by which it is used, if an Evolution item causes a Pokémon to evolve, that item is consumed.
Acquisition

- Many of these items are available as held items of wild Pokémon, particularly Pokémon from the evolutionary families that uses the item to evolve.
- In Pokémon Black and White, many of these items are available from the treasure hunter on Route 13.
- In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, several of these items can be purchased from Black City's market on weekends.
- Many of these items can be obtained from the Join Avenue Antique Shop.
- Many of these items are available from the PokéMileage Club minigame Balloon Popping.

History
Gold, Silver & Crystal arc
In Quilava Quandary, Gold was given a King's Rock by the Day-Care Couple after training with them, which he gave to his Poliwag to hold. In Ampharos Amore, Gold's newly evolved Poliwhirl and Silver's Seadra evolved into a Politoed and a Kingdra, respectively, while holding their respective evolutionary items, King's Rock and Dragon Scale.
Diamond & Pearl arc
In Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone III, Fantina's Duskull used its Reaper Cloth to save Diamond and Pearl from a fall.
In Yikes, Yanmega! II, Diamond's Lickilicky, Kit, used a Protector to protect itself from Mars's Yanmega swarm's soundwaves. Roseanne later revealed that the Protector was one of the items she used in her research of Pokémon Evolution, the other seen items being a Reaper Cloth, Dragon Scale, Magmarizer, and King's Rock.
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
In Dealing With A Koffing Fit, Silver's Sneasel evolved into a Weavile due to having gained experience while holding a Razor Claw, which had been given to Silver by Green.
In Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior, it was revealed that Silver had given Blue a Protector to be held by his Rhydon, allowing it to evolve into a Rhyperior when it was traded between the two Trainers. Afterwards, Blue had let Silver keep Rhyperior as a replacement for his lost Ursaring.

Trivia
- Along with being listed among the evolutionary stones, the Oval Stone has the "Use" option when selected in the Bag, but if the player tries to use it, it won't say "Able" under any Pokémon.
- This makes it the only Evolution item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an evolutionary stone.
