Effect
If held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, raises its Defense and Special Defense by 50%.
The Eviolite only affects Pokémon if their form and species has non-zero value in their "personal data", (internal data that determines the basic traits of any given Pokémon), for an evolution method, regardless of whether that evolution method is legitimately accessible.
While this functions as expected for most species/forms, there are some notable unusual cases such as instances where an evolution method "exists" but isn't accessible, as well as some hardcoded exclusions:
- If only the regional form of a species can evolve, only the regional form is affected by the Eviolite.[1]
- Meltan is not affected by the Eviolite, because it cannot evolve in the core series games, only capable of evolving while in Pokémon GO.
- It does not affect Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, or Eternal Flower Floette, as those specific forms have no evolution method coded, even if the base species is capable of evolving.
- It does not affect Pikachu, Meowth, or Eevee while they have the Gigantamax Factor, as they are hardcoded not to evolve unless the Gigantamax Factor is removed via Max Soup.[2]
- It does affect male Combee and Salandit, despite male members of the species not being capable of evolution, (as they are the same species and form as their female counterparts and therefore share the "non-zero evolution value" in their personal data).
- It still affects ceratin Pokémon that are capable of evolution, even if it is/was not currently possible to meet the requirements for their evolution.[3]
- If held by a transformed Pokémon, the boost is based on its original species, not the species it is transformed into.

- Eviolite's name may be derived from evolution and the -ite suffix found in the names of many minerals.
- Eviolite's Japanese name is a pun; しんかのきせき Shinka no Kiseki can mean either "Evolution Stone" or "Miracle of Evolution".
