So how do Dusk Stones fit into the game now? Here’s where to find Dusk Stones inPokemon Scarlet & Violetand how to make use of them.
Where to Get Dusk Stones in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Pokemon Scarlet & Violetplayers can find a Dusk Stone behind the Montenevera Gym and as a Pokedex reward for registering 130 Pokemon.Alongside this, there are infinite sources of Dusk Stones on the ground and at the Porto Marinada auction house where it has a chance to appear for sale.
The easiest and fastest way to get one is behindRyme’s gym in Montenevera. The item is found on the ground as a Poke Ball, but it does not respawn. Its exact location on the map can be seen here:
Dusk Stones can be found dotted around Paldea in other locations, but are available in very limited numbers. Visiting the auction house duringeach in-game dayis the only reliable way to stock up on them.
Which Pokemon Evolve with a Dusk Stone?
At present, there are four Pokemon known to evolve with the use of a Dusk Stone. Each of these Pokemon require a Dusk Stone in order to evolve, unlike Pokemon like Magnezone and Leafeon who can evolve via stones or alternative means. The list of Pokemon that require a Dusk Stone to evolve stands as follows:
Of these Pokemon, only Murkrow and Misdreavus are available inPokemon Scarlet & Violet. This means that players only need to get two Dusk Stones to complete their Pokedex without relying on extremely rare spawns orchance Tera Raid battleencounters. Players have relatively easy access to two Dusk Stones and can get by with just those two.
At present, the Chandelure and Aegislash evolutionary lines are not available inPokemon Scarlet & Violet. There is no sign of them coming to the game via an event similar to how Cinderace andGreninja were introduced to the games. Fans of these ghost-type Pokemon can only hope that they get introduced to the games via DLC at some point in the future.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violetare available now on Nintendo Switch.
