Evolutionary 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.

There are a handful of other stones related to evolution.

  • The Everstone prevents the Pokémon that holds it from evolving.
  • The Sun Shard and Moon Shard (found in 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 the Oval Stone and levels up, it will evolve into Chansey.

In Red and Blue Rescue Team, to evolve you must first beat the game. When you go to Whiscash Pond, there will be a massive hole in the center of the area. This is Luminous Cave. Make sure that you have your stone on hand and that the Pokémon you want to evolve is alone. Upon entry, a mysterious voice will ask if you want to evolve. Say yes, and when it asks if an item is necessary, say yes as well. The stone will be used and your Pokémon will evolve.
