Pokemon Sun & Moon Guide: Where to find evolution items like the fire stone, thunder stone, ice stone and others

A major part of any Pokemon game is Evolution. Some Pokemon simply evolve via leveling them up, but some require different criteria.

One of the more common means of Pokemon evolution is by exposing them to or giving them a certain item. That item will, under certain circumstances, make that Pokemon evolve. For some Pokemon being shown the item is enough. Others have to fight holding it, or be traded while holding it.

All important is where to find those stones and items - plus what Pokemon they have an effect on. We've got that covered. Here's all the details so far, though keep in mind this page is a work in progress.

Where to find a Dawn Stone

• This item will make a male Kirlia evolve into Gallade and a female Snorunt evolve into Frosslass.

Where to find a Dusk Stone

• The Dusk Stone makes several Pokemon evolve: Murkrow, Misdreavus, Lampent and Doublade.
• You can get one of these stones just off the beach in the Poni Wilds area of Poni Island - it's underwater. You can also buy one from the Flea Market at the Malie Community Center, or get one via Poke Pelago.

How to get the Electirizer and Magmarizer

• If you trade an Electabuzz while it's holding a Electirizer, it'll evolve into Electivire.
• If you trade a Magmar while it's holding a Magmarizer it'll evolve into Magmortar.
• This can be found in Poni Island's Seafolk Village. Head to the lef tto the first little boat-building on the jetty. An NPC inside will give you both the Magmarizer and Electirizer. You can also buy these from the Battle Tree's shop.

Where to get an Everstone

• This stone actually has the opposite effect to most on this list. If given to any Pokemon, it'll stop it from evolving.

• You can find yourself a free Thunder Stone on Akala Island - it's behind the truck in the Dream Park. Even easier - it's found for super cheap in Olivia's jewelry shop in Konikoni City.

Where to get a Water Stone

• The water stone is the catalyst for a number of significant water-type Pokemon evolutions. It'll evolve Poliwhirl, Shellder, Staryu, Lombre and Panpour - plus, of course, Eevee into Vaporeon.

There's more evolutionary items in Pokemon Sun & Moon that trigger evolution when a Pokemon holds them, but we're still figuring out where all those are. This page will be updated - stick with us.
