Evolve your Eevee (and other Pokemon) with the much-needed evolution stones.
Perhaps made most famous by versatile Normal-type Pokemon Eevee, Pokemon’s elemental stones and other evolutionary items have become more useful with each passing generation of Pokemon game. The number of stones has gradually grown over time, too. As a result, there are quite a number of them to be found in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon – but we’re here to cover them.
These stones are hidden throughout the world of Alola much the same as in any Pokemon game, and when you obtain them you can expose Pokemon on your team to the stone to make them evolve. Some Pokemon can evolve multiple different ways depending on what stone you use, while others require use of a stone to evolve even along their solitary evolutionary path. In any case, these stones are vitally important.
Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon: Evolution Stone Locations
We figured some of you might be desperate to know exactly where a specific stone is to evolve your Pokemon of choice, so we’ve gathered a list of the stones here and their locations. We’ll expand this list as we track down more stones in Ultra Sun & Moon… Keep in mind that many (but not all) of these locations also apply to vanilla Pokemon Sun & Moon too.
Where to find a Fire Stone
Fire Stones are used to evolve various species of fire-type Pokemon. It’ll turn your kindly Eevee into a fiery-maned Flareon or a cutesy Growlithe into a regal looking Arcanine.
You’ll be able to find a Fire Stone in Diglett’s Tunnel on Akala Island, or you can alternatively buy this stone in Konikoni City.
Where to find an Ice Stone
An Ice Stone has made itself into one of the more desperately wanted evolutionary stones in Sun & Moon since it evolves the new Alola forms of some classic Pokemon Red and Blue Pokemon – Alola Sandshrew and Alola Vuplix. One of these lines is exclusive to Sun, the other to Moon.
To get your Alola Sandslash and Alola Nintales you’ll want the stone. Get it from Po Town as loot when you storm the place or buy it in Konikoni City for 3000 Pokedollars.
Where to find a Leaf Stone
The Leaf Stone evolves a bunch of grass-type Pokemon when you expose them to it, but they’re in demand in Sun & Moon because it’ll evolve the relatively easily found Exeggcute into the gigantic-necked Alola form of Exeggcutor.
We haven’t found any way to grab this stone in the wild yet (if you’ve found one, let us know) but you can get it via Poke Pelago or buy it in Konikoni City.
Where to find a Thunder Stone
The thunder stone is a Pokemon staple since the Red and Blue days, though in a sense it’s always been one of the more underused stones… who evolves Pikachu, anyway? The addition of Alola Form Raichu might encourage some more Pika evolving, however.
For that you’ll need this stone – and you can find one on Route 9. An old man will see you’re a trial-going trainer and hand it over. It’s also available to buy in Konikoni City for 3000 Pokebucks.
Where to find a Water Stone
The water stone forces a lot of types of water Pokemon to evolve – and that includes Eevee into fan favourite and Pokemon Go stampede-causer Vaporeon and Staryu into Starmie, Misty’s Pokemon of choice.
The Water stone is like many of the others found for sale in Konikoni City. You can also go surfing off the watery edge of Route 8 – you’ll find it hiding away in the water.
Where to find an Oval Stone
The Oval Stone is very specific – it only evolves one species of Pokemon, and that’s Happiny into Chansey. Since you can find Happiny into the wild in Sun & Moon it’s still pretty relevant, however.
You can find the Oval Stone in an appropriate place for an egg-loving Pokemon – on Akala Island’s Paniola Ranch, near the Pokemon Nursery.
Where to find a Dusk Stone
The Dusk Stone is loved by Dark and Ghost-type Pokemon in particular, and as a result you can use it to make Pokemon like Murkrow and Misdreavus Evolve.
You can buy one of these but not in Konikoni City for once – you’ll have to look inside the Flea Market at the Malie Community Center. You can also find one just off the beach of the Poni Wilds.
Where to find a Dawn Stone
The aqua-colored Dawn Stone is the way you reach a few new evolutions – for Male Kirlia it can lead to the super cool looking Gallade, and for the female Snorunt it can lead to Froslass.
After reaching the Ultra Megaopolis, you can find a young lad to the right of the Pokemon Center in Akala’s Royal Avenue. He wants you to tell him stories of your exploits. Keep telling him stories – you’ll have to leave the area and re-enter (The Pokemon Center will do) to tell him another. Once you’ve impressed him enough, he’ll battle you. Defeat him to get the Dawn Stone. Alternatively, you can use Poke Pelagio.
Where to find a Sun Stone
The Sun Stone can be used to evolve a variety of light-loving Pokemon. It’ll turn your Gloom into a Bellossom, a Sunkern into a Sunflora, A Cottonee into Whimsicott, a Petilil into Lilligant and a Helioptile into Helioisk. Handy!
You’ll find a Sun Stone out in the world on Blush Mountain as well as through Poke Pelagio. Ultra Sun players can also find one in the Haina Desert.
Where to find a Moon Stone
The Moon Stone evolves a bunch of different Pokemon – primarily fairy types – into their improved versions. It’ll evolve Nidorino into Nidoking or Nidoqueen, Clefairy into Clefable, Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff, Skitty into Delcatty and Munna into Musharna.
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon you can find a Moon Stone on Route 13 and through playing Poke Pelagio. Ultra Moon owners can also find one in the Haina Desert.
Where to find the Shiny Stone
The Shiny Stone is a dazzling one that evolves a handful of Pokemon including Togetic into Togekiss, Roselia into Roserade, Minccino into Cinccino and Floette into Florges.
In Ultra Sun & Moon, a Shiny Stone can be had from a shop in Malie City if you so wish – or you can find one off to the left-hand side hidden away on the Ancient Poni Path.
