Evolutionary stones may be used at any time, and cause instant Evolution in the Pokémon they are used on, which cannot be canceled. With the exception of the Everstone, which must be held for its effects to take place, all evolutionary stones are applied directly to the Pokémon. All stones that cause Evolution in a Pokémon are consumed upon that Pokémon's evolution.

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, appearing as early as the sixth episode, ''[[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.

The second appearance of an evolutionary stone occurred in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where the Thunder Stone was introduced. This was likewise the first opportunity for a Pokémon belonging to a main character to evolve using an evolutionary stone. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, refused the offer, intending to beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} unevolved. Ash 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.

The remaining [[Generation I]] evolutionary stones made their debut in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. Additionally, two of the Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and Thunder Stone to {{an|Brock}} and {{Ash}} to evolve their respective {{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.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary line]].

A Water Stone belonging to [[Samantha]] appears in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'' and is used by Brock's Lombre to evolve into {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}}. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone on-screen, although it is likely that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A full set of evolutionary stones was seen on display in a stone shop in [[Geosenge Town]] in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''. In addition, an unnamed Trainer used a Sun Stone bought from the shop to evolve his {{p|Helioptile}} into {{p|Heliolisk}}. Clemont then revealed that he had also used a Sun Stone to evolve his own Helioptile into {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}.

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]]'', a possible 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 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.
