The Sun Stone item in Pokemon Go is great for trainers to evolve certain Pokemon into their final forms. In this article, we will discuss how players can get a Sun Stone in the game and which Pokemon can evolve by using them.

Finding evolution items in the game can always be tricky, but they’re even more difficult to come across in Pokemon Go as trainers can’t simply visit a specific location like they could in the mainline games.

In the game, finding certain items is simply up to luck, which also happens to be the case for the Sun Stone. Still, if players try to find a Sun Stone to allow players to evolve the likes of Cottonee Gloom, Lilligant, or Helioptile into their final forms in Pokemon Go, we have them covered.

How to Sun Stone in Pokemon Go?

Sun Stones can only be acquired by spinning PokeStops and Gyms. With a measly 1% drop rate, getting one of these stones is pretty tough. To make matters more difficult, Sun Stones drop alongside the game’s other Evolution items, which means players’ chances of getting one are very slim. This is because players can end up with a different item instead.

How to get a Sun Stone fast:

  • Spin as many PokeStops and Gyms as possible.
  • Visit a popular area with lot of PokeStops to maximize the spins in a short period of time.
  • Players will receive a special evolution item on the 7-day streak of PokeStop Daily Bonus. If you’re lucky, it could be the Sun Stone!
  • Event-exclusive Field Research tasks that reward evolution items like the Sun Stone.

How to evolve Pokemon using Sun Stones

To evolve the chosen Pokemon with a Sun Stone once players have met the above requirements, all players need to know are these steps:

  • On the Pokemon Go app, players need to click the Poke Ball icon.
  • Select ‘Pokemon‘ to open Pokedex from the menu.
  • Find the creature to evolve and select it.
  • Now, players will see ‘Evolve‘ displayed underneath ‘Power Up‘ if they meet the requirements.
  • Viola! Their Pokemon will now use the Sun Stone to evolve.

Next Pokemon coming to the game

Regieleki seems set to be the next major addition to the game and will join the fray on April 9. This addition will be a part of the latest Elite Raids in the game, and Regieleki will likely prove to be a challenge if players want to take them down.

This will take the current number of Pokemon Go creatures to nearly 800, and we know that there are still a lot of other Pokemon tucked away in the game’s files. That’s all that is known for now about the latest Pokemon coming to the popular mobile game, but once we get more information about other additions, we will be sure to update it on our website.
