- Both Pokémon that require the Dawn Stone to evolve debuted in Generation III and are part of a branched evolution while their evolved form are part of a cross-generational evolution from Generation IV.
- The evolved form both gain a type their previous form did not have, Ghost for Froslass and Fighting for Gallade (until Generation VI where Kirlia evolving via Dawn Stone loses the Fairy typing in exchange for the Fighting type).
- The Dawn Stone is the only evolution stone not to receive any new application past its debut generation.
- Generation V introduced at least one new application for each of all available Evolution stones at the time, other than the Dawn Stone.
