Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific item. The player can use one of these items on a compatible Pokémon at any time outside of battle, which consumes the item. From Generation IV onwards, evolution by exposure to an item cannot be prevented by holding an [[Everstone]]. Due to being able to evolve at any time, these Pokémon usually learn fewer or no moves by level up after evolving; however, in Generation VIII, even if they do not learn any additional moves by level-up, they normally can still be taught any move their pre-evolved form could learn by level up by the [[Move Reminder]]. | Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific item.

In | In {{g|Pinball}} and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}, once the Evolution Mode or Evo Mode starts and the player chooses a Pokémon to evolve, then three instances of the same {{OBP|Evolution Item|Pinball}} appear somewhere on the table, one at a time. The player is required to get the three repeated Evolution Items before the time runs up in order to evolve the chosen Pokémon. For instance, if the player attempts to evolve a {{p|Vulpix}} into {{p|Ninetales}}, they will be required to find three [[Fire Stone]]s on the table. Most available Pokémon evolve by [[experience]], which requires getting three "Ex" Evolution Items. If the Pokémon evolves by [[trade]] in the core series, then the player needs to get three [[Game Link Cable|Link Cable]] Evolution Items. | ||
