If you’re a Pokemon Go trainer looking to grab themselves an Unova Stone, and wondering what Pokemon can evolve with one, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s run through how to get them, and how to use them.

In Pokemon Go, several creatures from the Unova region need a special in-game in order to evolve.

It’s called an Unova Stone, an aptly-named item that is black and white. The colors are quite fitting, given that the Unova region was featured in the Pokemon Black and White handheld games for the Nintendo DS.

So, let’s take a look at how you can get Unova Stones in-game, the benefits of them, and which Pokemon can use them to evolve.

How to get Unova Stones in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go trainers can unlock Unova Stones in a number of different ways, but it’s not easy to get one.

The main options at players’ disposal is to either defeat Team Rocket Leaders or complete Field Research Breakthrough tasks. In the case of the latter, those who complete seven days have the opportunity to get one.

However, neither will guarantee the opportunity to get an Unova Stone.

Which Pokemon can evolve with an Unova Stone?

As the name suggests, a number of Pokemon that first appeared in the Unova region require this item to evolve. One example is Munna, which needs one in order to turn into Musharna.

Thanks to Pokemon Go Hub, below is the full list of Pokemon that need an Unova Stone in order to evolve.

Pansage evolves into Simisage (Unova Stone and 100 Candy)
Pansear evolves into Simisear (Unova Stone and 100 Candy)
Panpour evolves into Simipour (Unova Stone and 100 Candy)
Eelektric evolves into Eelektross (Unova Stone and 100 Candy)
Minccino evolves into Cinccino (Unova Stone and 50 Candy)
Lampent evolves into Chandelure (Unova Stone and 100 Candy)
Munna evolves into Musharna (Unova Stone and 50 Candy)

As seen in the list, an Unova Stone is not the only item needed in these instances. All the above Pokemon do require Candy, in addition to an Unova Stone.

With Unova Stones in short supply in Pokemon Go, it will probably take you a while to evolve every single one of these creatures. But, it’s worth it when the job is done.
