__NOEDITSECTION__
 
'''Evolution Stones''' (commonly known as '''Elemental Stones''') are crystals with the power of a certain element that instantly evolve certain Pokémon they are used on. There are currently nine different stones for evolving Pokémon.
 
*Fire, Water, and Thunder Stones evolve Pokémon of the corresponding Pokémon types, for example [[Vulpix]], [[Staryu]], and [[Pikachu]], respectively.
 
*The Moon Stone evolves fairy-like Pokémon, like [[Clefairy]], [[Nidorino]], and [[Nidorina]].
 
*Leaf Stones evolve Grass-types, such as [[Exeggcute]] and [[Weepinbell]].
 
*The Sun Stone, introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, evolves the plant Pokémon [[Sunkern]], [[Petilil]] and [[Gloom]].
 
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl added Shiny, Dusk, and Dawn Stones:
 
*Shiny Stones are used to evolve [[Togetic]] and [[Roselia]].
 
*Dusk Stones are used to evolve [[Murkrow]] and [[Misdreavus]].
 
*[[Dawn Stone]]s are used to evolve female [[Snorunt]] and male [[Kirlia]].

==List of Evolutionary Stones==
There are a handful of other stones related to evolution.
 
  +
===Water Stone [[File:Bag Water Stone Sprite.png]]===
*The Everstone prevents the Pokémon that holds it from evolving.

==Trivia==

*Out of all Pokémon who can evolve via evolutionary stones (Alolan Forms counted as individual species), only 2 of them ([[Eevee]] and [[Gloom]]) can use over 1 kind.

*Out of all Pokémon who can evolve via evolutionary stones (Alolan Forms counted as individual species), only 4 of them ([[Poliwhirl]], [[Eevee]], [[Kirlia]], [[Snorunt]]) can evolve in other ways.
  +
*So far, [[Generation VII]] and [[Generation VIII]] are the only Generations where no new Pokémon evolve via evolutionary stones (excluding Regional Forms of existing Pokémon).
  +
**However, Generation VIII is the first Generation to change a Pokémon's evolution method to evolutionary stones, as the removal of Moss Rocks, Ice Rocks and special magnetic fields caused several Pokémon to require specific stones instead.
  +
*The Water, Leaf, and Moon Stones evolves the most variety of Pokémon, each tying with six different Pokémon needing them to evolve.
  +
*There are stones called sunstones and moonstones in real life. However, they look different from the evolutionary stones.
  +
*The evolved forms tend to have dramatically different level-up learnsets, with the majority of these learning no new moves at all, such as [[Togekiss]] and [[Roserade]]. A notable exception is [[Sunflora]], which has a roughly identical level-up learnset as [[Sunkern]].
  +
*During the development of the [[Generation II]] games there was going to be a new stone called the Poison Stone which was the beta form to evolve Eevee into Umbreon (Umbreon was going to be poison type during the development) and Weepinbell into a new form (which was later discarded) but the poison stone was discarded in the final games for unknown reasons.
  +
*There are a handful of other stones related to evolution:
  +
**An [[Everstone]] prevents the Pokémon that holds it from evolving.
  +
**The [[Sun Shard]] and [[Moon Shard]] (found in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]] only) simulate the effects of Day and Night, which allows a happy [[Eevee]] to evolve into [[Espeon]] or [[Umbreon]].
  +
**When a [[Slowpoke]] or [[Poliwhirl]] holds the [[King's Rock]] and is traded, it will evolve into [[Slowking]] or [[Politoed]], respectively.
  +
**When a [[Happiny]] holds an [[Oval Stone]] and levels up, it will evolve into [[Chansey]].
  +
**When a specific [[Mega Stone]] is held by the Pokémon and a [[Key Stone]] is owned by the Trainer, certain Pokémon can [[Mega Evolve]].
  +
**In Generation Two, Pokemon That evolve From The Moon Stone Does Isn't Affected By The Moon Ball

The player can evolve Pokémon in the Tree of Life after beating the game, by talking to Xerneas. Although the only requirement of evolving is to achieve a certain level, some connected Pokémon are unevolvable.

Trivia

  • Out of all Pokémon who can evolve via evolutionary stones (Alolan Forms counted as individual species), only 2 of them (Eevee and Gloom) can use over 1 kind.
  • Out of all Pokémon who can evolve via evolutionary stones (Alolan Forms counted as individual species), only 4 of them (Poliwhirl, Eevee, Kirlia, Snorunt) can evolve in other ways.
  • So far, Generation VII and Generation VIII are the only Generations where no new Pokémon evolve via evolutionary stones (excluding Regional Forms of existing Pokémon).
    • However, Generation VIII is the first Generation to change a Pokémon's evolution method to evolutionary stones, as the removal of Moss Rocks, Ice Rocks and special magnetic fields caused several Pokémon to require specific stones instead.
  • The Water, Leaf, and Moon Stones evolves the most variety of Pokémon, each tying with six different Pokémon needing them to evolve.
  • There are stones called sunstones and moonstones in real life. However, they look different from the evolutionary stones.
  • The evolved forms tend to have dramatically different level-up learnsets, with the majority of these learning no new moves at all, such as Togekiss and Roserade. A notable exception is Sunflora, which has a roughly identical level-up learnset as Sunkern.
  • During the development of the Generation II games there was going to be a new stone called the Poison Stone which was the beta form to evolve Eevee into Umbreon (Umbreon was going to be poison type during the development) and Weepinbell into a new form (which was later discarded) but the poison stone was discarded in the final games for unknown reasons.
  • There are a handful of other stones related to evolution:
