Evolution stone

If you were looking for the item whose Japanese name translates to Evolution Stone, see Eviolite.

An Evolution stone (Japanese: 進化(しんか)の石(いし) Evolution stone) is a type of Evolution item introduced in Generation I. They can be used to evolve certain Pokémon to their final evolutionary stage. As of Generation IX, there are 10 available Evolution stones, which are used by 46 Pokémon species. These evolve into 51 different Pokémon species, with a total of 57 different evolutions when all regional forms accessed by Evolution stones are included.

Gloom's branched evolutionary line as demonstrated in Pokémon the Series: both of Gloom's potential evolved forms require an Evolution stone.

Terminology

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, Evolution stones are referred to as "element Stones". In Pokémon Stadium, they are referred to as "elemental stones". Eevee's Pokédex entries often refer to them as "element stones". In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, they are referred to as "Evolution Stones". Starting in Pokémon X and Y, they have consistently been referred to as "Evolution stones"; however, in one Pokémon HOME mission they are capitalized as "Evolution Stones" instead.

In Pokémon the Series, they are usually referred to as "Evolution stones" (although the capitalization in subtitles varies). However, in the Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl episode A Faux Oak Finish!, they are instead referred to as "Evolutionary stones".

In Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex, they are referred to as "Evolutionary Stones".[1]

  1. ↑ Nosepass cannot evolve using a Thunder Stone in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, despite Magneton being able to with the same evolution methods.
  2. ↑ While Eevee is able to evolve into Glaceon using an Ice Stone in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it cannot be done in normal gameplay due to it being unobtainable in those games.

In the core series games

Using an Evolution stone on an appropriate Pokémon causes it to evolve instantly, consuming the Evolution stone. This process cannot be stopped by pressing the B button.

Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based Evolution can no longer learn new moves by leveling up, unlike their pre-evolved form. Those Pokémon may have the opportunity to learn one or two moves exclusive to the evolved form by level-up but otherwise will have no new moves to learn. Starting in Generation VIII, however, the Pokémon that this apply to may instead learn the moves their pre-Evolution could learn at the Move Reminder, gaining access to all of the previous form's level up moves regardless of level. Some Pokémon are encouraged to use an evolutionary stone on early as their moves learned by level up may significantly change compared to their pre-evolved form rather than losing the prospect of learning new moves. This is more common within Evolution by stone that alters the Pokémon's type upon Evolution although this is not always the case.

Acquisition

In most games, players can acquire Evolution stones through both finite (i.e. one-time) and repeatable methods. Finite methods typically involve finding Evolution stones while exploring, including as hidden items. Repeatable methods can include purchasing from a shop, completing certain challenges, or interacting with specific NPCs. Multiple Evolution stones can often be acquired in a single location through these repeatable methods.

The tables below are (non-exhaustive) lists of Evolution stone acquisition methods across different generations.

Pokémon the Series

A giant Moon Stone in Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

In the animated series, Evolution stones do not seem to be required for Evolution as they are in the games. James's second Weepinbell evolved without a Leaf Stone in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid. The same occurred to Melvin's Exeggcute in The March of the Exeggutor Squad, where Leaf Forest causes Exeggcute who enter there to evolve into Exeggutor. In addition, Pokémon that evolve via proximity of Evolution 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.

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

The first Evolution stone to appear in the series was Moon Stone in Clefairy and the Moon Stone. A giant Moon Stone appeared deep within Mt. Moon, being worshiped 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 Thunder Stone so that he could evolve his Pikachu in order to defeat Lt. Surge's Raichu. Pikachu, however, refused the offer. Ash kept the Thunder Stone 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 debuted 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 Thunder Stone 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 was a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones. The radiation from these stones in the forest was 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.

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

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 wild 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.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

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

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 Evolution stone onscreen, 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.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

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.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

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 Evolution stones available as of Generation V. Several Eevee were shown to evolve into Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon using the required stones.

Pokémon the Series: XY

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 Evolution 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 revealed that he had also used a Sun Stone to evolve his own Helioptile into Heliolisk.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

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.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Multiple Thunder Stones appeared in Gotta Catch a What?!, where multiple wild Pikachu were digging them up in a valley in order to evolve. One was found by Goh's newly caught Pikachu, who gave it to her Trainer. Later, Goh used the Stone to evolve his Pikachu into Raichu in order to help defeat Team Rocket.

In That New Old Gang of Mine!, Professor Cerise's Yamper gave Goh a Leaf Stone he had found. Goh immediately used the stone to evolve his Exeggcute into Exeggutor.

In To Train, or Not to Train!, staff members of the Eevee Evolution Lab tried to use a Fire Stone and a Thunder Stone on an Eevee to evolve her, but both attempts failed.

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 Out of Their Elements!, Harmony and Billy attempted to use a Fire Stone and a Thunder Stone, respectively, to evolve their Eevee partners. However, they accidentally dropped the stones onto the wrong Eevee, causing them to evolve into opposite forms than what they had intended. They attempted to correct the mistake with the spare stones they had, but the stones had no effect on the already-evolved Pokémon. At the end of the episode, they gave their spare stones to Chloe.

Multiple Moon Stones appeared in Infinite Possibilities!, where a group of Clefairy used them in an Evolution ritual.

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

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 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. By battling club members, Ash and Mikey proved to the club leaders that Pokémon which have evolved by Evolution stone are not necessarily superior to their unevolved counterparts.

Pokémon Adventures

Evolution stones in Pokémon Adventures

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 chapter, 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, Clefy, 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, Poli, 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 Poli's Evolution into Poliwrath 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.

Reason: list of all cards with Evolution stones in art?

The Moon Stone and Dusk Stone are featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as Trainer cards. The Moon Stone searches the player's deck to find a Colorless Evolution card and puts it into their hand. The Dusk Stone searches the deck for a Mismagius, Honchkrow, Chandelure, or Aegislash that evolves from a Pokémon in play, then evolves that Pokémon into the Pokémon that was searched for. Dusk Stone evolves Pokémon regardless of normal turn restrictions and can even search for Pokémon-GX. All eligible Pokémon for its effect evolve by using a Dusk Stone in the core series.

The Moon Stone and the Dusk Stone appear on certain 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.

In the HeartGold and SoulSilver Series, the art for Pokémon that have evolved in the core series by using an an Evolution stone includes the Evolution stone.[2]
