Pokemon GO offers extensive in-game content for fans to stay glued to the game. The game offers multiple ways of evolution processes for players to explore and achieve; Buddy system, Pokemon Transfe, numerous in-game items, etc. These in-game items also include unique evolution stones, including the Sun Stone. Some Pokemon can't evolve with just Candy but also require Sun Stone.

The Sun Stone is a scarce Pokemon GO item, and it serves the purpose of evolving some of the rarest Pokemon in the game. Only a few Pocket Monsters evolve using the Sun Stone; some are the Grass-type Pokemon Sunkern into Sunflora and Gloom into Bellossom. Though this specific stone is a rarity, that doesn't mean players can't get it. For those looking to get their hands on it, here is where to find the Sun Stone and what else players need to do to evolve their Pokemon.

How To Get The Sun Stone

How to get Sun Stone in Pokemon GO

To find a Sun Stone in Pokemon GO, visit PokeStops and spin Photo Discs until players get one. Whenever players are trying to collect an evolution stone, or any special item from a PokeStop, the best bet is to visit an area with a lot of PokeStops and spin as many Photo Discs as possible. This way, players can hit several PokeStops quickly, and also build a steady supply of Pokeballs and potions for healing after gym battles.

Additionally, Pokemon GO trainers can obtain the Sun Stone by completing daily Field Research tasks for a week, resulting in a Research Breakthrough package with a random evolution item. The second way is spinning PokeStops for seven consecutive days, earning a stamp each time, which can lead to the discovery of evolution items. Also, some event-exclusive Field Research/Special Research tasks offer Sun Stone as a reward. However, these tasks are rare and hard to complete.
