Buy Stones in Stone Emporium

Buy Evolutionary Stones in the Stone Emporium

If you need an Evolutionary Stone like a Fire Stone, you can buy them in the Stone Emporium. Some items won't appear in the store until you have reached or completed specific main story missions.

What are Evolution Items?

Another Method for Evolution

Evolve Using Items

Aside from leveling up, some Pokemon can evolve through the use of items. By using an item, a Pokemon can instantly evolve. Usually, this method also skips any level requirement.

Some Items Have Additional Conditions

Some Evolution Items must be used in a specific way, instead of just using it on a Pokemon them. For example, Onix can evolve into Steelix by trading it while it is holding a Metal Coat.

When to Use Evolution Items

Evolve Your Pokemon When You Can

Evolve As Soon as You Can With Items

If you can evolve a Pokemon with an Evolution Item, you should do it immediately. Your Pokemon will receive a good increase to their stats.

Unlike older Pokemon games, you will not miss anything by evolving your Pokemon early. They will still learn the same moves through level up as if they were in their base form.

How to Use Evolution Items

Use It From Your Satchel

Use Evolution Items From Your Satchel

Some Evolution Items, like Evolutionary Stones, can be used directly from your satchel. The Pokemon you want to evolve must be in your party. Once you select a Pokemon with the item, it will evolve.

There's no point of return after pressing A, except if you load an old save file. So, make sure that the evolution is the one you want, especially if a Pokemon has several evolution paths like Eevee or Kirlia.

Equip Item to Pokemon, Then Trade It

Other Evolution Items must be equipped by a Pokemon when they are traded to trigger their evolution. When the Pokemon is received by the other trainer, the Evolution Item will be consumed and they will evolve!

Use our Trading Board to find other trainers and unlock new Trade Evolutions! This will also help you complete your Pokedex.
