Pokmon Sword and Shield guide: Where to find evolution stones – Polygon

Pokmon Sword and Shield doesnt have a department store so where do you get your evolution stones? There are a few places to find individual stones strewn across the Galar region, but theres one place in particular with a massive cache of different stones.

To get it, youll need your bike and its Rotom upgrade that allows you to ride on water. Youll find the upgrade on Route 9, from the same NPC who gave you the bike originally. Once youve got the water-friendly bike, youll be able to glide across water with ease.

Start at Hammerlocke Hills, right outside the steps to Hammerlocke. Ride right and follow the ridge until youre able to cross the small lake. Once youve entered the Lake of Outrage, youll see a circle of large stones. If its your first time here, each large stone will have an evolution stone behind it. There are eight stones total, and each will have an evolution stone. Once you pick up the original evolution stones, theyll respawn occasionally meaning you can keep collecting evolution stones for free.

Here are the stones weve picked up there:

Stones are scattered individually across Galar, but this is the quickest way to collect a ton of them at once. Evolution stones are handy for evolving certain Pokmon, like Eevee into Leafeon (Leaf Stone), Glaceon (Ice Stone), or Flareon (Fire Stone).
