Pokémon: Every Evolution Stone Evolution

screenrant.com:

Throughout many Generations of the iconic series, certain Pokémon achieve evolution through special Evolution Stones. However, the type of Stones and which creatures transcend to new forms has changed over the years of new titles in the franchise. Around 40 different pocket monsters require specific Stones to transform into a Pokémon with better battle stats.

Not to be confused with stone evolutions in , the main series only demands that you give a Pokémon the right Stone to transform. There are only a couple of exceptions or limitations to this rule, with the specific gender of some creatures being a prerequisite for evolution. As new regions have been added, some Pokémon have alternate evolutions with the same Stone depending on their location.

Most of the Pokémon in and only evolved through leveling up, but a surprising 16 different creatures used a Stone to gain a new form. There were five types of Stones introduced with the debut Generation and the spin-off. The Fire Stone, Thunder Stone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, and Moon Stone all gave new potential to your team members.

When these Stones are applied to a Pokémon you want to evolve, the process cannot be reversed in many Generations. Be careful to choose the right path for a creature like Eevee, who has multiple Stone Evolutions, since you can usually only get this Pokémon once in
