An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Evolution stone'') is a stone-like [[item]] that radiates a mysterious energy that causes some [[Pokémon (species)|species of Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]]. In English, the name has changed several times: in {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, it is referred to as an '''element Stone''', in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} as an '''evolutionary stone''', and in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]], and the {{series2|Best Wishes}} and {{series|XY}} as an '''Evolution stone'''.
An '''Evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Evolution stone'') is a type of Evolution item that can be used to [[evolution|evolve]] certain Pokémon. In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, they are referred to as '''element Stones''' and in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime as '''Evolutionary stones'''; since [[Pokémon X and Y]] (in the games) and the {{series2|Best Wishes}} (in the anime), they have been referred to as '''Evolution stones'''.


Evolutionary stones may be used at any time, and cause instant Evolution in the Pokémon they are used on, which cannot be canceled. All evolutionary stones are applied directly to a Pokémon and are consumed upon the Pokémon's Evolution.

Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based evolution have vastly different [[level]]-up [[move|learnset]]s than their pre-evolutionary forms, with several learning no moves after Evolution at all.
==In the core series games==
Using an Evolutionary stone on an appropriate Pokémon causes it to evolve instantly, consuming the Evolution stone.


==List of stones==
Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based evolution can no longer learn new moves by [[level]]ing up, unlike their pre-evolved form.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Conquest===
In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Evolutionary stones are required to evolve certain Pokémon. They can be purchased from the {{DL|Pokémon Conquest|traveling merchant}}.


===Pokémon GO===
===Pokémon GO===
This is artwork of the items as seen in [[Pokémon GO]]. The [[Sinnoh Stone]], an evolutionary stone exclusive to this game, was introduced on November 16, 2018, as a means of evolving certain Pokémon that gained a new evolution in [[Generation IV]]. The [[Unova Stone]], introduced on September 16, 2019; is used by all Unova-based evolutions that use any evolutionary stone in the [[core series]], except for the Sun Stone.
In [[Pokémon GO]], there are three Evolutionary stones: The [[Sun Stone]] and the Pokémon GO-original [[Sinnoh Stone]] and [[Unova Stone]].
 
The Sun Stone is required to evolve the same Pokémon as in other media.
 
The [[Sinnoh Stone]] is used to evolve Pokémon into their [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generational evolutions]] that were introduced in [[Generation IV]] (except {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Nosepass}}, which require special [[Lure Module]]s instead).
 
The [[Unova Stone]] is used to evolve [[Generation V]] Pokémon that evolve using any Evolutionary stone in other media, except a Sun Stone.

Gloom's branched evolution family as demonstrated in the anime: both of Gloom's potential evolutions require an evolutionary stone.

An Evolutionary stone (Japanese: 進化の石 Evolution stone) is a type of Evolution item that can be used to evolve certain Pokémon. In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, they are referred to as element Stones and in the Diamond & Pearl series of the anime as Evolutionary stones; since Pokémon X and Y (in the games) and the Best Wishes (in the anime), they have been referred to as Evolution stones.

In the core series games

Using an Evolutionary stone on an appropriate Pokémon causes it to evolve instantly, consuming the Evolution stone.

Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based evolution can no longer learn new moves by leveling up, unlike their pre-evolved form.

Acquisition

While individual Evolutionary stones can often be found in a variety of locations, multiple different Evolutionary stones can often be acquired in a single location.

In spin-off games

Pokémon Conquest

In Pokémon Conquest, Evolutionary stones are required to evolve certain Pokémon. They can be purchased from the traveling merchant.

Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, there are three Evolutionary stones: The Sun Stone and the Pokémon GO-original Sinnoh Stone and Unova Stone.

The Sun Stone is required to evolve the same Pokémon as in other media.

The Sinnoh Stone is used to evolve Pokémon into their cross-generational evolutions that were introduced in Generation IV (except Magneton, Eevee, and Nosepass, which require special Lure Modules instead).

The Unova Stone is used to evolve Generation V Pokémon that evolve using any Evolutionary stone in other media, except a Sun Stone.

In the anime

A giant Moon Stone in the anime

The first evolutionary stone to appear in the anime was Moon Stone in Clefairy and the Moon Stone. A giant Moon Stone appeared deep within Mt. Moon, being worshipped by a group of Clefairy who lived there. It was soon stolen by Team Rocket, and ultimately ended up being blown up; the shards from the shattered giant Moon Stone rained down on the Clefairy and caused some of them to evolve into Clefable. In this episode, the characters speculated that the Moon Stone was how various Pokémon—Clefairy in particular—arrived in the Pokémon world. Another giant Moon Stone was later seen in the same location in A Real Cleffa-Hanger.

In Electric Shock Showdown, Nurse Joy gives Ash a Thunderstone so that he could evolve his Pikachu in order to defeat Lt. Surge's Raichu. Pikachu, however, refused the offer. Ash kept the Thunderstone in case Pikachu ever wanted to evolve; however, in Pika and Goliath!, a similar scenario occurred and Pikachu still refused to evolve. Seeing his determination to not evolve, Team Rocket stole the stone, planning to sell it.

The remaining Generation I evolution stones made their debut in The Battling Eevee Brothers as part of a collection held by the Eevee brothers. Additionally, two of the Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and Thunderstone to Brock and Ash to evolve their respective Vulpix and Pikachu, though both refused.

The Leaf Forest appeared in The March of the Exeggutor Squad, which is a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones. The radiation from these stones in the forest is so strong that it caused Melvin's Exeggcute to evolve.

A fake Leaf Stone, made by Team Rocket, appeared in Make Room for Gloom, where the discovery of its nature as a fake was central to the episode.

A real Leaf Stone first appeared at the very end of Pikachu's Rescue Adventure. With it, the Exeggcute that had been following Misty's Togepi evolved into an Exeggutor.

In The Grass Route, a set of Leaf Stones was offered as the prize for winning the Grass Tournament. Although Team Rocket tried to steal the stones, they were eventually won by Ephraim. He planned on using to evolve his parents' Pokémon.

Ash won a Sun Stone in the Bug-Catching Contest during The Bug Stops Here, later using it to evolve a Sunkern in Moving Pictures.

A set of Fire Stones played an important role in The Stolen Stones!, where Ramona and Keegan had been tasked with delivering them to be used as prizes for the competitors of a Fire-type Pokémon competition. During the delivery, Team Rocket stole the stones, requiring Ash and his friends to help retrieve them.

Both a Leaf Stone and a Sun Stone appeared in Whichever Way the Wind Blows during an explanation of the branch in Gloom's evolutionary line.

In Once in a Mawile, a Water Stone belonging to Samantha appeared, which Brock's Lombre used to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone on-screen, although it is likely that James's Weepinbell was evolved using a Leaf Stone prior to The Breeding Center Secret.

A Moon Stone appeared in a flashback in Delcatty Got Your Tongue?, evolving Dr. Abby's Skitty into a Delcatty.

Professor Oak gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in A Faux Oak Finish!.

A Dusk Stone was central to the plot of Try for the Family Stone!, where Rhyanna and Mitchell searched for one to evolve their respective Pokémon. They eventually found one, and decided to have a battle to settle which one of them would get to use it.

Ursula used a Fire Stone and a Water Stone to evolve her two Eevee in Last Call, First Round!, making them a Flareon and Vaporeon, for use in the Sinnoh Grand Festival.

Ash had to find a Thunder Stone as part of a scavenger hunt during the Wishing Bell Festival in Climbing the Tower of Success!. He came across a young man in possession of one who tried to toss it to him from a long distance. The Thunder Stone nearly came in contact with Pikachu but he jumped out of the way just in time leaving Ash to catch it.

Mystery on a Deserted Island! featured all evolutionary stones available as of Generation V. Several Eevee were shown to evolve into Jolteon, Flareon and Vaporeon using the required stones.

A Thunder Stone appeared in To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler! as a part of Clemont's explanation of how Pokémon Evolution works, Pikachu's evolution into Raichu working as an example of stone-induced Evolution.

A full set of evolutionary stones was seen on display in a stone shop in Geosenge Town in The Cave of Trials!. In addition, an unnamed Trainer used a Sun Stone purchased from the shop to evolve his Helioptile into Heliolisk. Clemont then revealed that he had also used a Sun Stone to evolve his own Helioptile into Heliolisk.

A Moon Stone appeared in a fantasy in A Dream Encounter!, where it was revealed that Lusamine had used one to evolve her Clefairy into a Clefable.

An Ice Stone was first seen in Not Caving Under Pressure!, where Sophocles's Charjabug found one while helping to fix up a cave inhabited by a group of Alolan Sandshrew, revealing that the cave was in fact an Ice Stone mine where Sandshrew gather to evolve. The leader of the Sandshrew pack, a giant Sandshrew, touched the stone and proceeded to evolve into an Alolan Sandslash. Later, after exiting the cave, Charjabug was revealed to have found another Ice Stone, which Sophocles gave to Lillie. She asked Snowy if it wanted to use the stone to evolve, but Snowy didn't feel ready for it yet, so Lillie decided to hold on to the stone in case Snowy ever changed its mind.

Evolutionary stones do not seem to be required for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. James's second Weepinbell evolved without a Leaf Stone in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid. In addition, Pokémon that evolve via proximity of evolutionary stones apparently seem to control their evolutionary urges and physically touch the stone without evolving, as evidenced by Pikachu whacking away the Thunder Stone when refusing to evolve the first time, as well as a Clefairy holding onto a Moon Stone for prolonged periods of time before delivering it to the larger Moon Stone without evolving.

Evolution stones in The Electric Tale of Pikachu

In Clefairy Tale, Ash, Professor Oak, and Bill witnessed a Clefairy evolution ceremony involving a large Moon Stone.

The focus of the chapter To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question! was evolutionary stones. Misty hoped to buy a Water Stone for her Poliwhirl in Stone Town, a town on Dream Island where all the evolutionary stones in the Pokémon world come from. However, she couldn't afford one, remarking that an inexpensive one might make the evolution go bad.

Misty was later given a Water Stone by Mikey, who was being pressured to join the "Knights of the E Stone", a club which requires members to own a Pokémon evolved by an evolutionary stone. By battling club members, Ash and Mikey proved to the club leaders that Pokémon which have evolved by evolutionary stone are not necessarily superior to their unevolved counterparts.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

A Moon Stone was first mentioned by Professor Oak in Gyarados Splashes In! as a rock with a crescent moon-shaped indentation that boosts a Pokémon's power immensely. In the next round, Team Rocket searched for one in Mt. Moon. However, it was Red who eventually found it. In The Winged Legends, Red used his Moon Stone to evolve Green's Clefairy into a Clefable in order to fight Thu-Fi-Zer during the Silph Co. showdown with Team Rocket.

In Buzz Off, Electabuzz!, Red's Poliwhirl was able to evolve into a Poliwrath with the help of a Water Stone when they were thrown into the water in Vermilion Harbor, although the cause of his evolution wasn't revealed until the Yellow arc.

Yellow arc

In The Kindest Tentacruel, the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman told Yellow about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of Vermilion Harbor, housing a set of evolutionary stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of Red's Poliwhirl's evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild Tentacruel, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that Giovanni had given them to Red so he could freely evolve and devolve his Eevee.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In The Last Battle VI, Gold's Sunkern evolved into a Sunflora because the sun's energy reflected off of the rocks near Ilex Forest replicated the Sun Stone's effects.

Ruby & Sapphire arc

In Mowing Down Ludicolo, Shelly used a Water Stone to evolve her Lombre into a Ludicolo while battling against Sapphire's Pokémon.

In Guile from Mawile, Ruby's Kiki evolved into a Delcatty due to being exposed to one of Steven's Moon Stones.

In Ring Ring Goes Beldum, Steven was shown to have a Leaf Stone and another Moon Stone. In addition, he also found a Sun Stone while he and Ruby escaped from a group of wild Mawile in Granite Cave.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

In Give It Your Best, Blastoise, during the battle against the Deoxys Duplicates, Green evolved her Jiggly and Nido into Wigglytuff and Nidoqueen, respectively, using two Moon Stones.

Platinum arc

In Leaping Past Lopunny, a Shiny Stone and Dawn Stone were seen amongst the rare stones that Steven had found during his stay in Sinnoh.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

In Dealing With A Koffing Fit, Silver's Murkrow evolved into a Honchkrow due to gaining experience while holding a Dusk Stone, which had been given to Silver by Green.

In All About Arceus II, Lance gave Gold's Togepi a Shiny Stone, allowing it to evolve into Togekiss in All About Arceus VIII immediately after evolving into Togetic.

Black & White arc

In Triple Threat, Cilan, Chili, and Cress used a Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, and Water Stone to evolve their Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour into Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour, respectively, during their battle against the Shadow Triad.

In Homecoming, it was revealed that Black's Musha evolved into a Musharna using a Moon Stone received from Caitlin.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

In Omega Alpha Adventure 0, Sapphire's Kirly evolved into a Gallade due to a Dawn Stone hitting him while training with Rara, who had evolved into a Gardevoir. Later, Steven found another Dawn Stone on the ground.

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

In Indigo Plateau, Satoshi's Pikachu used a Thunder Stone to evolve itself into a Raichu before Satoshi left to challenge the Elite Four.

In the TCG

The Moon Stone and Dusk Stone are featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game on a Trainer card and on Pokémon cards as held items. These held items work in the same fashion as Poké-Bodies, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play. The following is a list of cards named or including Moon Stone or Dusk Stone.

Trivia

  • The Leaf Stone is the only evolutionary stone that cannot be sold to the ore maniac in Black and White. This was corrected in Black 2 and White 2.
  • All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and the Ice Stone are in the Field Egg Group.
  • The Dawn Stone is the only stone which can only evolve a Pokémon if it is a specific gender, with this requirement applying to both of the Pokémon it can evolve.
  • Through a glitch in the Generation I games, Pokémon that would normally require an evolutionary stone to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle.
  • Despite the fact that Oval Stone is sorted along with other evolutionary stones in all core series games since its introduction, it is actually an evolution-inducing held item because the Oval Stone does not trigger Evolution in any Pokémon when it is used on them. It must instead be held on a specific Pokémon with it levelling up during the day to take effect.
    • This makes Oval Stone the only evolution-inducing item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an evolutionary stone.
  • The Sun Stone and Moon Stone share their names with actual gemstones.
  • The Ice Stone was first revealed by a picture on the official Spanish Pokémon website on October 4, 2016. However, the picture was quickly removed due to the stone not having been previously announced.
  • No Pokémon that has evolved from exposure to an evolutionary stone is capable of evolving again.
