Trainer's guide: Evolutionary stones

• Evolutionary stones (Japanese: 進化の石 Evolution stone) are stones that possess super-natural abilities that cause certain Pokémon to evolve. They were first introduced in Generation I, starting with the Water Stone, Fire Stone, Thunderstone, Leaf Stone, and Moon Stone.
• Generation II introduced the Sun Stone, as well as the Everstone which actually prevents evolution from occurring.
• The Dawn Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone were introduced in Generation IV.
• Eevee is considered to be one of the most notable Pokémon that evolve through evolutionary stones, evolving into either a Vaporeon, a Jolteon, or a Flareon when it comes in contact with the proper stone. It, along with Gloom, are the only Pokémon that have more than one evolution influenced by different evolutionary stones.
• There are theories supported by the various series' that claim Clefairy, and Clefable worship Moon Stones. Ash, Brock, Misty, and Seymour witness this worship first hand in Clefairy and the Moon Stone.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, many of the main characters have used evolutionary stones on their Pokémon. One notable example is Red's Vee, who was once an experiment by Team Rocket and had the ability to change into either of its three evolutions, and revert back to being an Eevee. After being captured, Red was able to take advantage of this trait using a Water, Fire, and Thunderstone given to him by Giovanni. However, it lost this ability after permanently evolving into an Espeon.
• Evolutionary stones have little impact in the Trading Card game due to game mechanics. However, a Moon Stone was given its own trainer card, and the Moon Stone and Dusk Stone were featured on a Clefairy card and Murkrow card, respectively. Numerous illustrations in the Trading Card game also feature Pokémon with an evolutionary stone.
