Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the latest installments of the hit Pokémon franchise. The games feature a vast array of new features, including the ability to evolve Pokémon using special stones. The Moon Stone, Ice Stone, Dusk Stone, and Dawn Stone can all be found in the game world and used to activate certain evolutions.

In most cases this stone will allow for the following evolutions: Nidorino into Nidoking; Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff; Clefairy into Clefable; Skitty into Delcatty; Munna into Musharna; and Lunatone into Solrock. This powerful item can be located in various places throughout Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including Mt Silver in Kanto, Cerulean Cave in Johto, Route 13 in Unova, as well as several other locations.
Players may also notice some NPCs offering up a Moon Stone for sale. This is particularly useful later on when looking to evolve specific Pokémon such as Jirachi or Deoxys. However these stones may cost quite a bit of money so it’s best to save up before buying one.
