Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: All Evolution Stone Slots

It might not come to mind too often, but Pokémon games have always held a ton of mysteries and secrets. Some turned out to be just rumors, like the infamous Mew under the truck in Red and Blue Pokémon, but others were simply objects for which it was difficult to find a use. Well, until the Internet comes, that is. Now we all know what every item in every game does, but that doesn’t mean they’re always easy to find.

The stones of evolution should not be despised. Some trainers who watched the anime at the time may see them as some kind of cheat, but in Shiny Diamond Pokémon and Shiny pearl, these are essential items if you want to evolve specific Pokémon. Each stone can only be used once, so finding them is only the first step as you’ll have to think carefully about which Pokémon you want to spend it on. While that decision is up to you, we can at least guide you to the location of each Evolution Stone in Shiny Diamond Pokémon and Shiny pearl.
