Pokemon come in all different shapes and sizes, and nowadays there are all sorts of different ways that they evolve, some through love, some through time, and some through location which is even stranger. One of the classic methods of evolution has always been through Evolutionary Stones.
The stones have always been a staple in the series.
Pokemon Yellow chose to allow you a partner Pikachu although he refused the Thunder Stone when offered to him, echoing the decision of Ash's best friend from the Anime. Considering
Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and
Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! are rough remakes of that game for Nintedo Switch, it was obvious from the jump that the stones would still play a part in this installment in the franchise.
The truth is, if you want to collect all of the Pokemon and fill up your Pokedex, you'll
have to use to stones (unless you import every species from Go, of course) as there are 18 species in
Pokemon: Let's Go that require one of the six stones - Fire, Ice, Moon, Water, Leaf, or Thunder - to evolve. Thanks to RPG Site, we were able to get a list going for you guys below, so check it out!
