Evolution stones have always been an incredibly sought after item in the Pokemon series. These magical stones grant the ability to evolve your Pokemon into their more powerful forms, making them even more formidable in battle. When it comes to evolution stones, things remain the same in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Evolution stones are still incredibly important for evolving certain Pokemon, but they’re not something you can just buy with your battle winnings.
