A lot of fans agree that the most versatile Pokemon among all of the creatures in the game is Eevee, and as such, the Pokemon's elemental stones have become the most useful item with each entry in the "Pokemon" franchise. The kinds of stones that can be obtained have expanded over time too, and with the newest version of the game, players will need to know where the stones can be found in Alola.

According to VG 24/7, Alola has a host of places where the Evolution stones can be found, and they made a list detailing where a specific kind of stone can be obtained for free or purchased with in-game money. Gamers looking for a Fire Stone — which evolves Eevee into the fire-type Pokemon Flareon — can look in Akala Island as it is the best place to find one, specifically in Diglett's Tunnel.

Ice Stones are more or less one of the most sought-after items in the game since they also have evolutionary purposes. An Ice Stone can be used to evolve certain classic Pokemon to their Alolan forms like Sandshrew and Vulpix. Gamers can obtain the item as loot from Po Town.

Thunder Stones are one of the most underused stones nowadays, and one can be found at the Dream Park on Akala Island.

There is no way to get a Water Stone for free yet, but it can be bought in "Pokemon Sun and Moon." 

A good alternative to obtaining these stones is through Konikoni City, where they can be purchased. However, some stones cannot be bought there, such as the Oval Stone, which is used to evolve Happiny to Chansey. It can only be found at Paniola Ranch near the Pokemon Nursery.

Finally, the Dusk Stone can be found just off the beach at the Poni Wilds. However, it can also be bought at the flea market at the Maile Community Center, according to Game Rant. The stone can be used to evolve dark and ghost-type Pokemon like Murkrow and Misdreavous.
