In the anime

A Water Stone in the anime

The Water Stone debuted in The Battling Eevee Brothers as part of a collection held by the Eevee brothers. In the party they hosted, a Trainer used a Water Stone to evolve his Poliwhirl into a Poliwrath.

In Go Go Ludicolo!, a Water Stone appeared in a fantasy.

In Once in a Mawile, a Water Stone belonging to Samantha appeared; Brock's Lombre used it to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolved via an Evolution stone onscreen.

Professor Oak gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in A Faux Oak Finish! so that it could evolve into Ludicolo.

In Last Call — First Round!, Ursula used a Water Stone and a Fire Stone during the Performance Stage of the Sinnoh Grand Festival to evolve her two Eevee, evolving them into a Vaporeon and Flareon, respectively.

Mystery on a Deserted Island! featured the Water Stone along with all of the other Evolution stones available as of Generation V.

A full set of Evolution stones was seen on display in a stone shop in Geosenge Town in The Cave of Trials!.

In On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!, Chloe received a Water Stone from Kiley. She asked her Eevee if she wanted to use it, but she decided not to evolve yet. Another Water Stone appeared in a flashback in the same episode, used by Kiley to evolve his own Eevee into Vaporeon.

In the manga

Evolution stones in The Electric Tale of Pikachu

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

The focus of the chapter To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question! was Evolution stones. Misty hoped to buy a Water Stone for her Poliwhirl in Stone Town, a town on Dream Island where all the Evolution 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 Evolution stone.

Pokémon Adventures

Evolution stones in Pokémon Adventures

Red, Green & Blue arc

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 Evolution 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.

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.

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.

Trivia

  • Through a glitch in the Generation I games, Pokémon that would normally require an Evolution 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. In the case of the Water Stone, this Pokémon is Onix.
  • In Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, if the player tries to give their partner Eevee a Water Stone, they will not accept it, and therefore, will not evolve. The same thing will happen if the player attempts to give them a Fire Stone or a Thunder Stone.
