Evolution item

Evolution items are normally found in a variety of locations. However, there are some methods that can yield a large number of them.

• Many of these items are available as held items of wild Pokémon, particularly Pokémon from the evolutionary families that uses the item to evolve.
• In Pokémon Black and White, many of these items are available from the treasure hunter on Route 13.
• In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, several of these items can be purchased from Black City's market on weekends.
• Many of these items can be obtained from the Join Avenue Antique Shop.
• Many of these items are available from the PokéMileage Club minigame Balloon Popping.
• Many of these items can be purchased from the Battle Maison and Battle Tree with Battle Points.
• In Pokémon Sword and Shield, these items can be purchased at the Stow-on-Side Bargain Shop or at the Pokémon Center in Hammerlocke with Battle Points.

A King's Rock first appeared in Ring Masters, where Ash received it as a prize for winning the Sumo Conference. In Outrageous Fortunes, Misty's Poliwhirl used it to evolve itself into a Politoed by holding it while being transferred between Pokémon Centers.

Another King's Rock appeared in A Crowning Achievement, where it was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; Alice's Slowpoke used it to evolve into a Slowking as a Shellder bit onto it while it was on Slowpoke's head.

A Deep Sea Scale and Deep Sea Tooth appeared in The Evolutionary War. Nancy and Keith found one of each item and gave them to each other, allowing both of their Clamperl to evolve when they were transferred from a Pokémon Center to another while holding the items.

A King's Rock, two Deep Sea Teeth, and two Deep Sea Scales appeared in Showdown At Linoone as some of the items Tokin had picked up.

In One Big Happiny Family!, Brock carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly hatched Happiny, which later helped her evolve into a Chansey in The Brockster is In.

In Fighting Fear with Fear!, Ash received a Razor Fang from Gary. Later in the episode, he used it to evolve his Gligar into a Gliscor.

In Searching for Chivalry!, Wikstrom gave Goh a Metal Coat, allowing him to evolve his Scyther into Scizor when it was transferred through a trade machine while holding it.

A Strawberry Sweet appeared in The Sweet Taste of Battle!, decorating a cupcake that Goh was eating. When his newly caught Milcery showed interest in it, he placed it on her head and then spun around with her to celebrate making a new friend, inadvertently triggering her evolution into Alcremie in the process.

A Dragon Scale appeared in JN088, where Ash and Goh found it from a sunken ancient submarine. Goh subsequently gave it as a gift to a wild Seadra.

• Before Generation VIII, there are no directly-used Evolution items other than the Evolution stones.
• Generation VII is the only generation to not introduce a held Evolution item after Generation I, where the mechanism of held item doesn't exist.
• All held Evolution items that cause a Pokémon to evolve upon leveling up require a specific time period in a day.
• Along with being listed among the Evolution stones, the Oval Stone has the "Use" option when selected in the Bag, but if the player tries to use it, it won't say "Able" under any Pokémon.
  • This makes it the only Evolution item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an Evolution stone.
