Where to get Evolution Stones in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

In order to complete your National Dex in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you’re going to need to scour Sinnoh for some special items.

Evolution Stones are a type of Stone that aid in the evolution of certain Pokémon — a classic example from the anime of this is Clefairy needing a Moon Stone to evolve into Clefable.

These stones aren’t necessarily plentiful, but you’ll be able to find at least one of each in Sinnoh. For more, you’re going to need to rely on RNG luck.

Where to find Evolution Stones in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Note that the Evolution Stones will only spawn in Grand Underground digs once you’ve unlocked the National Dex.

Dusk, Dawn, and Shiny Stones are not found while digging, but you’ll find enough of each to cover one copy of each Pokémon that requires them.
