All Evolution Stone locations in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

How to get Fire Stone

Two Fire Stones can be found in Fuego Ironworks. One is in the maze of booster pads, in the top right corner by a blue crate, and the other is held by Fuego.

To speak to him, navigate through the floor puzzle until you reach the center where he’s waiting for you.

How to get Thunder Stone

The Thunder Stone hides on small outcropping of Iron Island in Pokemon Diamond and PearlPokemon
The easiest Thunder Stone is in Sunyshore City, below the house of the man who wants to see Pokemon with specific personality traits.

In order to find the Thunder Stone, you’ll need to travel to Sunyshore City. Once there, head to the path behind the lighthouse and interact with the boulder at the bottom of the stairs.

Thunder Stones can also be dug up from walls in the Grand Underground, but it is more time-consuming than the above method so do so only if you need more than one.

How to get Leaf Stone

Head to Floaroma Meadow for the Leaf Stone.

You can retrieve the Leaf Stone from the Floaroma Meadow, which is just north of Floaroma Town. It’s one of the easiest Evolution Stones to find, but you’ll need Surf first.

To get to the meadow, head south from Fuego Ironworks. Once there, head south and you’ll see the item in a patch of flowers.

How to get Water Stone

The Water Stone on Route 213 is hidden in the rocky guardrails along the waterlinePokemon
There are bits of water that you’ll have to swim across mixed in with the solid ground for this stone.

For the Water Stone, you’ll need to Surf from the edge of Route 213, the road that connects Pastoria City to the Valor Lakefront.

The stone is behind two swimming Trainers in the middle of the labyrinthine path that leads you through the rocks.

How to get Shiny Stone

Shiny Stone in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl can found on Iron IslandPokemon
The path to this one is convoluted but start by taking the stairs to your right when you first enter the cave.

The Shiny Stone is at the tip-top of the cavern located at the center of Iron Island. You’ll have to find three total elevators to make your way to it.

If you completed Riley’s side-quest and received the Riolu Egg from him, you’ll see it on the way out – it’s very hard to miss!

How to get Dusk Stone

The Dusk Stone is in the Galactic Warehouse in BD&SPPokemon
The only thing stopping you from accessing this stone is the Storage Key from the guard outside of the HQ.

The easiest Dusk Stone to collect is the one in the Galactic Warehouse in Veilstone City, but you’ll need to pick up the Storage Key. To get it, beat the seventh Gym in Snowpoint City and then speak to the Team Galactic Grunt outside of their HQ.

Once you have the key, go to the Warehouse and open the locked door. The stone will be right in front of you, next to the laptop on the table.

Alternatively, there’s another Dusk Stone trapped by the boulder blockade on Victory Road, but you’ll have to have a Pokemon with Strength if you want to reach it.

How to get Dawn Stone

One of a few Dawn Stones can be found on Route 225 in the Battle Zone in Pokemon Diamond and PearlThe Battle Zone is treacherous but the reward is worth it.

One Dawn Stone is atop the wall on Route 225 inside the Battle Zone. You’ll have to maneuver through a small grassy area to reach the wall, but the stone rests atop a small ledge next to an NPC. Use Rock Climb to reach it.

Another one can be found in Whiteout Cave in the Grand Underground. Enter from Snowpoint City to access it.

How to get Oval Stone

The graveyard in the Lost Tower has an Oval Stone in itPokemon
This Oval Stone is situated between two memorials in the heart of the Lost Tower.

Finding an Oval Stone is fairly easy, as you’ll be able to pick one up from the second floor of the Lost Tower.

There will be a Trainer waiting for you on the other side of the ball, but that should be the only obstacle blocking your path.

How to get the Everstone

Mindy will trade players a Haunter holding an Everstone for the player's MedichamPokemon
Veteran fans will dread this one.

The Everstone can be traded for in Snowpoint City at the northwestern-most house in the city. In the house, Mindy will ask you to trade a Medicham in exchange for a Haunter holding the item.

This is ultimate bait for players hoping her Haunter will evolve into Gengar, but at least you get the Everstone out of it.
