Guide Pokemon GO: evolution stones. Pixelmon Basics Which Pokémon Can Be Evolved With Moonstone

After the release of updates to the Pokemon GO game, fans have noticed some changes and additional features in it. One of the most important changes is that some Pokémon can no longer be upgraded with candy alone, as was the case in the original version. Character evolution will require special evolution stones. If you want to have exclusives in your collection, then this guide is for you! Let's take a look at which Pokémon can be transformed with Sunstone and Kingstone.

Where can I find Pokemon GO evolution stones?

The only way to get Evolution Stones is to visit PokeStops and hope with fingers crossed that the right stone will fall on your head. At the moment, there is no guaranteed way to get them in another way. You can increase the chances of a lucky find by winding circles among a large cluster of PokeStops. Use this opportunity even if you need to travel to big cities! Combine the search for evolutionary stones with other game objectives, such as catching new Pokémon or hatching eggs.

sun stone

With the help of a sun stone, you can develop "grass" Pokémon - Sunkern and Gloom. The first Pokémon is easier to evolve, requires 50 candy and a Sunstone, and you can transform Sunkern into Sunflora.

Gloom is a bit harder to transform into Bellossom for several reasons. First, it will require 100 Oddish candies in addition to Sunstone. Secondly, anyone who wants to collect a complete collection of Pokémon should know that Gloom can be evolved into one more Pokémon - Vileplume, and this will also cost 100 candies. Therefore, you will have to decide who to develop first.

The best way to get Oddish and Sunkern candy is to use the traditional methods: get them from an egg, catch them, transform duplicates into a professor, or assign a Pokemon to your buddy (buddy Pokemon). That will take enough time, but it's worth it to get the full collection.

royal stone

With the help of the Royal stone, you can evolve two "water" Pokémon - Slowpoke and Poliwhirl.

To transform Slowpoke into Slowking, you will need not only the King's Stone, but also 50 Slowpoke candies. Finding both Water Pokémon and Candy requires wandering around public lakes and ponds and collecting as many of them as possible.

Another water Pokémon, Poliwhirl, can be transformed into two forms - Politoed and Poliwrath. Each evolution will require 100 Poliwag candies, and, of course, the King's stone. This is a large number, but with great perseverance and desire, players will be able to collect them and add unique items to their collection.

Pokemon GO is a role-playing game that is very popular among gamers. It is based on the search for locations of special virtual creatures - Pokemon using smartphones in real places in cities. Players can catch Pokémon, collect entire collections, train and develop these funny creatures, and fight other players.

The long-awaited appeared in Pokemon GO and happened. These events forced many players to return to the game. The arrival of Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile (among other Pokémon from the Johto region) greatly expands the Pokédex and makes the gameplay more fun.

In addition to other changes, special items have appeared in Pokemon GO. They are required to perform certain evolutions (along with candy) for some Pokémon. Now I will tell you more about each special item in Pokémon GO.

Pokemon GO Evolution Items

Just like normal items, special items in Pokemon GO can be obtained from PokeStops. In general, this is good - because you do not have to visit rare locations to get a certain item, which not everyone can do. However, the chance of such an item dropping from a PokeStop is quite small.

However, judging by the feedback from the trainers, the chance of getting a special item on the 7th day is extremely high. So if you rarely enter the game - here's a reason to change it)

For example, a reader of ours sent me some screenshots and stats for getting special items:

• “King’s Rock” item received after approximately 100 spins of non-unique PokéStops

• “Dragon Scale” item received after approximately 50 spins of non-unique PokéStops

• “Sun Stone” item obtained after approximately 50-150 spins of non-unique PokéStops

And now a little more about each Pokemon GO item needed for evolution.

dragon scale

The special item "Dragon Scale" is used to evolve from Seadra to Kingdra. This evolution will cost you 100 Horsea candies.

King's Rock

The special item "King's Rock" is used to evolve Poliwhirl into Politoed instead of Poliwrath. It can also be used to evolve Slowpoke into Slowking.

metal coat

The special “Metal Coat” item in Pokémon GO is used to evolve Scyther to Scizor or Onix to Steelix.

sun stone

The Sun Stone special item in Pokemon GO is used to evolve Gloom to Bellossom or Sunkern to Sunflora.

Upgrade

The special “Upgrade” item in Pokémon GO is used to evolve Porygon into Porygon 2.

• Porygon 2= Porygon+50 Porygon Candies+”Upgrade”

Chance of getting special items in Pokémon GO

• Items for evolutions can be obtained in pokestops
• Evolution items are quite rare: the drop rate is 0.76% - 1% (according to the latest data, about 0.2%)
• The chance of getting any item for evolutions is equal
• is not a guarantee of obtaining a special item, although the chance of obtaining an item is increased
• An evolution item can be obtained from any PokéStop

And what special items did you come across in Pokemon GO and what evolutions did you make with them?

And so, let's move on to evolutions.

There are 5 types of evolutions

First of all, it is through raising the level. Each form has an exact level at which it will evolve further. Once this level is reached, evolution begins. To do this, you need to train a Pokemon, through battles he gets experience points, which bring evolution closer. You can also use a rare candy (rare candy), which instantly raises the level of the Pokémon by one. This version of evolution is quite long, training takes a lot of time. But there are ways to speed up this process, for example, using the Exp.Share item, the Pokémon holding it will receive experience from the battle won, even if it did not participate in it. And if you participate, you get double experience. This is useful for pumping weak Pokémon. The strong fight, and both they and the weaker Pokémon holding Exp.Share gain experience. In this way, you can level up a Pokemon several levels per battle, especially if leveling occurs after the end of the game, when you can fight very strong wild Pokemon.

The second way - from happiness. When a Pokémon is happy, it begins to evolve. In games, for this you need to often use it in battles, raise its level, give items. Sometimes the time of day matters. Some Pokémon evolve from happiness only during the day, others only at night, and some at any time of the day, but into different forms.

The third way is exchange. The two trainers swap Pokémon, and the Pokémon can evolve while doing so.

The fourth way is evolution with the help of an object. It seems that this is the easiest way to evolve, you can give the right item to a Pokemon even at the first level, it will evolve anyway. But the problem is that such items are very rare. And after evolution, the item disappears, that is, it cannot be reused. There are also options where the Pokemon evolves only when leveling up, holding the right item, or only when trading, again holding the right item.

Fifth option - stones of evolution. They work just like other items, and are also rare. (dropped by bosses).

For the most part pokemon go keeps the same requirements and systems as found in other Pokemon games, but every now and then it mixes things up. One such instance is with the Sinnoh Stone, a new addition to Pokemon Go for evolving classic Pokemon into their new 4th generation evolutions.

Pokemon Go is no stranger to evolution through items – we’ve seen evolutions involving items like the Sun Stone , King’s Rock and Metal Coat items – but the sinnoh stone is different in that it's an all-new item for Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go Sinnoh Stone: how to get a sinnoh stone for evolution

The Sinnoh Stone is an all-new item in Pokemon Go, though mercifully it's obtained in a set, reliable way – and unlike other evolution stones, you don't have to rely on the random chance that it will crop up as a field research mission reward or drop from a Pokestop.

In order to get your hands on a Sinnoh Stone, you simply need to complete seven days worth of Field Research rewards. It doesn’t matter what missions you’re actually undertaking to get there – you simply need to complete seven days worth of quests, a regular goal for trainers anyway in catching that month’s limited-run field research Pokemon Encounter. When you do this, a Sinnoh Stone will drop as part of the reward.

The Pokemon Go Sinnoh Stone is likely to become available through other means later on, but for now this is the only way to obtain it..

Pokemon that evolve using the Sinnoh Stone in Pokemon Go

As you'd expect, the Pokemon Go Sinnoh Stone allows classic Pokemon from previous generations to evolve into their new generation 4 forms. That also means these new evolutions have finally arrived into Pokemon Go. Let's go over how it all works, starting with what Pokemon you can evolve. The following Pokemon can currently be evolved into all-new Sinnoh-region forms thanks to the Sinnoh Stone – though you’ll need candy too.

Below, here's a list of who evolved, what from, plus how much candy will be needed alongside that Sinnoh Stone.

Electabuzz	100 Elekid Candy & Sinnoh Stone	Electvire
Magmar	100 Magby Candy & Sinnoh Stone	Magmortar

Further gen 4 evolutions that are likely to use the Sinnoh Stone in the future

In addition to the Pokemon listed above, there's actually a handful of further new Pokemon that also evolve from classics that as-yet are currently unaccounted for in Pokemon Go. We’ve listed them before in our full guide to the Pokemon Go gen 4 Pokemon list , but for the sake of expedience here’s a list of the remaining gen 4 evolutions that you might want to stockpile Sinnoh Stones towards.

It’s difficult to fully know what will happen in Pokemon Go for these remaining evolved forms – some are Eevee Evolutions and so probably won’t require stones. The evolutions above have typically required stones or specific methods in the main Pokemon Games – so it remains to be seen if all the remaining evolutions from gen 4 will also require a Pokemon Go Sinnoh Stone. Excluding the new Eevee Evolutions Leafeon and Glaceon, here’s the remaining gen 4 evolutions…

• Magnezone (evolves from Magneton)
• Lickilicky (evolves from Lickitung)
• Tangrowth (evolves from Tangela)
• Ambipom (evolves from Aipom)
• Yanmega (evolves from Yanma)
• Mamoswine (evolves from Piloswine)
• Gallade (evolves from Kirlia)
• Probopass (evolves from Nosepass)
• Froslass (evolves from Snorunt)
