Initially joining the Pokémon series during the second generation with Pokémon Gold and Silver. It's an item that only works on a handful of Grass-type Pokémon to help them reach their final forms. For example, when a Gloom is given a Sun Stone, it will evolve into Bellosson instead of a Vileplume. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, trainers will need to collect this item to evolve Petilil into Hisuian Lilligant.

Petilil and Lilligant make their Pokémon debut back in Pokémon Black and White, and it quickly grew to be a fan-favorite of that generation. While its Unova form is just a Grass-type Pokémon, its new Hisuian form will transform into a Grass- and Fighting-type Pokémon.

Although, doing this will only continue the story and not add it to the player's Pokédex. To do that, the player will need to evolve their own.
