Evolution stones have been a big part of the Pokemon universe as they are used to evolve specific Pokemon. There are a couple of different stones to find in Sword and Shield but we’re going to walk you through how to get a certain one. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get a Leaf Stone in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
How to Get Leaf Stone in Pokemon Sword and Shield
You can actually get a Leaf Stone pretty early on in Pokemon Sword and Shield as one can be obtained in the town of Turffield, where the first gym battle takes place.
If you follow the path west of the Pokemon Center in the town, you will eventually find a little enclosed space on the left side of the path. Turn in there and you’ll see a shiny object on the ground. Examine it with the A button and that Leaf Stone will be yours.
If you already have that stone, you can also find one by paying up Watts to the Digging Duo in Bridge Field, which is in the Wild Area near the Daycare Center.
