Evolution item: Difference between revisions

An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is an item which makes the Pokémon holding it [[Evolution|evolve]] when a certain event happens, such as if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d or leveled up. The item disappears once the Pokémon has evolved. For evolution-inducing items that are not meant to be held, see the page on [[evolutionary stone]]s.

A King's Rock first appeared in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', where {{Ash}} received it as a prize for winning the [[Sumo Conference]]. {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} later used it to evolve itself into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.

Another King's Rock appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', where it was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; [[Alice Telesu|Alice]]'s {{p|Slowpoke}} used it to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}}.

A Deep Sea Scale and Deep Sea Tooth appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'', where the people in the [[A-B-C Islands]] were having an argument over which Pokémon was best, {{p|Gorebyss}} or {{p|Huntail}}.

A King's Rock, two Deep Sea Teeth, and two Deep Sea Scales appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as some of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.

In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', {{an|Brock}} carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly born {{p|Happiny}}, which later helped her evolve into a {{TP|Brock|Chansey}} in ''[[DP190|The Brockster is In]]''.

 

In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash received a Razor Fang from {{Gary}}. Later in the episode, he used it to evolve his {{p|Gligar}} into a {{AP|Gliscor}}.

In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{p|Lickilicky}}, [[Kit]], used a [[Protector]] to protect itself from [[Mars]]'s {{p|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.

* Along with being listed amongst the [[evolutionary stone]]s, 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 evolutionary item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an evolutionary stone.
