All Pokémon GO trainers, know the great importance of evolution items, these have always been quite difficult to find in Pokémon games, but in Pokémon GO, Niantic has made them even more difficult to obtain since there is no specific place to visit and find them.
Something that seems quite curious to us is that, if you are looking to discover how to evolve Gloom, Whimsicott, Cottonee, Lilligant or Heliolisk with a sun stone or Sun Stone in the Mobile Gaming video game, then you have come to the right place, since we we will show you how to obtain it and which Pokémon need it to evolve.
How to get a sun stone in Pokémon GO
Sun Stones can only be acquired by spinning PokeStops and Gyms (and occasionally as Field Research rewards). With a measly 1% drop rate, getting one of the stones is quite a difficult task.
Things are made worse by the fact that they drop alongside the other evolution items in the game, meaning your chances of getting one are even slimmer, as you might end up with a different item instead. This is what you have to do to get a sunstone quickly:
- Spin as many PokéStops and Gyms as you can.
- Visit a popular area where there are a lot of PokeStops, which will allow you to maximize the amount you can spin in a short amount of time.
- On the 7-day streak of your daily PokeStop bonus, you will receive a special evolution item. If you’re lucky, it could be the sunstone!
- Sometimes there are event-exclusive Field Research tasks that reward evolution items like Sunstone, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for those.
- While getting your hands on Sunstone isn’t the easiest process in the world, with some time and patience, you could be rewarded with one of these evolution items.
