Pokemon Go: How to get Sun Stones

You can get Sun Stones in Pokemon Go by spinning PokeStops and Gym Discs, and from the Research Breakthrough Box obtained by completing the 7-day streak.

While there’s a slim chance you get a Sun Stone by spinning PokeStops, completing the 7-day streak offers a higher chance. There’s no way to know what you’ll get, so you might have to try a couple of times.

On the other hand, some events add different Research tasks that reward players with Sun Stones. We’ll make sure to update this section when a new event features the evolution item.

Best Sun Stone evolutions in Pokemon Go

The best Pokemon to evolve using a Sun Stone in Pokemon Go are Cottonee, Bellossom, and Helioptile.

Cottonee and its evolution Whimsicott have their uses, especially in the Great League, and Helioptile is a rare Pokemon, which means its evolution, Heliolisk, is coveted.

On the other hand, Gloom has two evolutions. Players can spend 100 Oddish Candy to evolve it into Vileplume, but if they add a Sun Stone, they’ll get Bellossom. Both evolutions are decent for PvE, so the decision ultimately relies on which one you like best.
