Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have a bunch of evolution stone items to use to evolve certain monsters, including the Fire Stone. Here’s how trainers can find the Fire Stone and which Pokemon can use it.

While the majority of Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet evolve naturally as you level them up, some creatures need specific tasks to be completed or require a specific Evolution Stone before they’ll make the change.

One of these evolution items is the Fire Stone, which has been around since the very first Generation of Pokemon games. It’s no surprise to hear this trusty evolution stone is back in Scarlet & Violet, but they’re not the easiest items to find this time around.

Below, we’ve put together all the information you need to find a Fire Stone, as well as the Pokemon that require one to evolve.

Where to find a Fire Stone in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The main way to get Fire Stones is to search for sparkles and Poke Balls on the ground in desert areas like East Province (Area Three). They are quite rare, but if you interact with enough of these items you should eventually find one.

There is also at least one guaranteed Fire Stone location: Go to the East Province (Area Two) Pokemon Center and travel east along the river towards Levincia. When you see a raised platform, the Fire Stone should be on the ground in front of it.

We’ve marked this Fire Stone location on the map below:

You can also purchase a Fire Stone from the Delibird Presents shops in the game, but it appears you’ll need to defeat at least three Gym Leaders before they’ll be available.

Finally, you can receive another guaranteed Fire Stone by registering 60 Pokemon in the Pokedex and claiming the reward in the App. Simply go to the Pokedex App in the menu and press the ‘X’ button to claim the reward.

Which Pokemon need a Fire Stone to evolve in Scarlet & Violet

The following Pokemon require a Fire Stone to evolve:

Eevee into Flareon
Growlithe into Arcanine
Capsakid into Scovillain

Once you’ve found a Fire Stone, evolving these Pokemon is pretty simple as there’s no minimum level requirement. Simply expose them to a Fire Stone and voila!
