A Pokémon holding an [[Everstone]] cannot evolve by level up or trade (except {{p|Kadabra}} from Generation IV onward); however, even if a Pokémon holds an Everstone, it can still be evolved by exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
The [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon's evolution:
*In Generation II, a Pokémon holding an Everstone (including Kadabra) cannot evolve by any method.
*In Generation III, trade evolutions are affected by the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|held item loss glitch}}: If {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}}, or {{p|Haunter}} is traded while holding any item (including an Everstone), that Pokémon will evolve and its held item will be permanently lost.
*From [[Generation IV]] onwards, the Everstone does not prevent a Pokémon evolving via [[Evolution stone]]. It also fails to prevent {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving.
*If either {{p|Karrablast}} or {{p|Shelmet}} holds an Everstone when traded for the other, neither can evolve.

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. Unlike other evolution methods, 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]].
