How to get it
- Claim Research Breakthroughs for a chance at a Unova Stone.
- Selected research and event rewards also offer it. Normal PokéStop spins are not a repeatable source.
How to use it
- Open the Pokémon’s details and choose the evolution button showing this item.
- Check the target and Candy cost, then confirm. The item and Candy are consumed together.
Worth knowing
Check whether an upcoming event offers a desired exclusive attack on evolution before spending a scarce stone.
An evolution item does not improve IVs. Choose the individual Pokémon you want to keep before spending it.
