“What are these weird stones I keep finding for?”If you’re new to Pokemon you may have wondered what items such as Leaf Stones, Fire Stones, etc actually do. By giving them to certain Pokemon, the stone evolves them. Pretty cool, right? In Pokemon Sword & Shield, there are numerous Evolution Stones used to evolve different Pokemon. In some cases, certain Pokemon can use multiple Evolution Stones to evolve into different Pokemon.

But, not every Pokemon can evolve using stones, but this guide will let you know which Pokemon you can use these on to make your team even stronger. In fact, certain Pokemon can also evolve into multiple different Pokemon depending on which stone you give them!

To use Evolution Stones, follow these simple steps:

Press X to open the menu

Click A on your Bag

Go across to Other Items

Find the Stone you want to use

Click A to use the item

Select the Pokemon you want to evolve with it

It is worth noting that you can’t reuse an Evolution Stone once you have evolved a Pokemon. But don’t worry, Evolution Stones are really easy to find in Pokemon Sword & Shield
