Evolutionary stones are showcased somewhat rarely in [[Pokémon anime|the anime]], as only a relative few Pokémon are able to evolve by using them. Despite this, they were among the earliest of items to have been showcased in the anime, appearing as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where a rather large Moon Stone appeared deep within [[Mt. Moon]]. It was being worshipped by a group of {{p|Clefairy}} who lived there, and was soon stolen by Team Rocket and ended up being blown up. The shards from it, however, rained down on the Clefairy and caused some of them to evolve into {{p|Clefable}}. It is also speculated in the anime that the Moon Stone was the reason why and how various Pokémon—Clefairy in particular—arrived in the Pokémon world. | Evolutionary stones are showcased somewhat rarely in [[Pokémon anime|the anime]], as only a relative few Pokémon are able to evolve by using them.

This was likewise the first opportunity that a Pokémon belonging to a main character was given to evolve by stone. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, refused the offer, intending to beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} as a Pikachu. He kept the Thunder Stone on hand, in case Pikachu ever wanted to evolve; however, in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', the same scenario occurred and Pikachu still refused to evolve. Seeing his determination of not evolving, {{TRT}} stole it, planning to sell it. | ||

Additionally, two of the Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and Thunder Stone to [[Brock]] and {{Ash}}, respectively, to evolve their {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and Pikachu, though both refused. | ||
A forest that appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', was a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones, and the radiation from these stones in the forest was so strong as to induce evolution in [[Melvin]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}}, which proceeded to cause chaos by hypnotizing a horde of other Exeggutor. | A forest that appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', was a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones, and the radiation from these stones in the forest was so strong as to induce evolution in [[Melvin]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}}, which proceeded to cause chaos by hypnotizing a horde of other Exeggutor. | ||

Evolutionary stones do not seem to be required for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]]. In addition, Pokémon that evolve via proximity of evolutionary stones apparently seem to control their evolutionary urges and physically touch the stone without evolving, as evidenced by Pikachu whacking away the | Evolutionary stones do not seem to be required for evolution in the anime as they are in the games.

In addition, Pokémon that evolve via proximity of evolutionary stones apparently seem to control their evolutionary urges and physically touch the stone without evolving, as evidenced by Pikachu whacking away the Thunder Stone when refusing to evolve the first time, as well as a Clefairy holding onto a Moon Stone for prolonged periods of time before delivering it to the larger Moon Stone without evolving. | ||
