In some games, there is a limited supply of [[Evolution stone]]s and [[Incense]]s, which are able to [[evolution|evolve]] some Pokémon, or [[breeding|breed]] some pre-evolutions, respectively. | In some games, there is a limited supply of [[Evolution stone]]s and [[Incense]]s, which are able to [[evolution|evolve]] some Pokémon, or [[breeding|breed]] some pre-evolutions, respectively. | ||
For instance, there are five [[Moon Stone]]s in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, which are more than enough to evolve all the compatible Pokémon in a given game without trading. However, in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, multiple Pokémon can evolve with a [[Fire Stone]], [[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], or [[Leaf Stone]], but each of these stones is available only once per game (except from [[trade]]s or [[Mystery Gift]]), so the player is unable to {{pkmn2|mutually exclusive|acquire all the available evolutions}} in a single game. | For instance, there are five [[Moon Stone]]s in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, which are more than enough to evolve all the compatible Pokémon in a given game without trading (unless the player discards or sells some of them).

Additionally, the player may lose their Evolution stones or Incenses, causing the respective evolutions or pre-evolutions to be unavailable outside of trades. These items may be sold or discarded, or a Pokémon holding them may be traded away or {{pkmn2|released}}. When the player uses an [[Evolution stone]], that item is consumed. The Incenses can be used repeatedly, but some games have only one of each kind of Incense available. | Additionally, the player may lose their Evolution stones or Incenses, causing the respective evolutions or pre-evolutions to be unavailable outside of trades.
