The Sun Stone, added in the second generation of the main series of Pokemon games, has been a valuable item in Pokemon GO for many trainers throughout the years due to its ability to evolve certain Pokemon.
Being vital for Pokemon evolution, Niantic added the stone to Pokemon GO. However, many trainers are unsure how to get the stone and cannot evolve their favorite Pokemon as a result.
Obtaining a Sun Stone in Pokemon GO
It is as simple as getting lucky. As with every other item required for evolution in Pokemon GO, there is a one percent chance to obtain it with every spin of a Pokestop. There are ways to increase these chances.
One way players can increase their chances of obtaining a Sun Stone is by spinning 250 Pokestops. Once that many have been spun, there is a greater than fifty percent chance of an evolutionary item dropping.
Another way trainers can receive a Sun Stone is by logging in to Pokemon GO and completing a full seven-day Pokestop streak. Spinning the last required Pokestop to finish the streak grants a very high chance to get an evolutionary item.
Sadly, there is no guaranteed way to get a Sun Stone in Pokemon GO. All the presented methods only increase the chances of getting an evolutionary item in general.
