Every time we have to fill our Pokédex, it means another list of Pokémon ZA evolution items to use on certain creatures. Our guide lists all of the available items in the game, including where to find them, and which 'Mon you need to use them on. They're easier to get in the more recent games, with some even being available in shops.
Whether you want to evolve your precious Eevee into one of its eight evolutions with a stone, or trade your Slowpoke with a King's Rock to get a Slowking, we can tell you exactly how to do so.
Here are all the Pokemon ZA evolution items you can get:
All Pokemon ZA evolution items
You can use the classic evolution stones to evolve certain 'mons, Pokemon ZA's Eevee is the first that comes to mind. There are a couple of other items that function the same, but we wouldn't call them 'stones', per se.
Here's the full list and where you can find them all, along with which Pokemon you can use them on. Simply go to your party, choose the Pokemon you want to evolve, and then give it the corresponding item. It will then evolve. Some stones only become available after working through the main quest, so if you can't buy them yet, keep going and circle back.

All Pokémon ZA evolution items
Evolution items are super easy to use. Once you have one, when the Pokémon you want to evolve is in your party, simply equip it with the relevant item. Then, you can trade it to trigger the evolution.
You can safely trade it right back so that you have the later evolution. Just make sure to do it with someone you trust, and they don't run off with your Steelix.

What are Pokémon ZA evolution items?
Evolution items, as the name suggests, allow Pokémon to evolve. This can be through simply holding it, or equipping the item before a trade, though some have specific ways of triggering the evolution. These items have been in the series since the very first generation, where you needed to get different stones to get all the Eevee evolutions.
These aren't to be confused with Pokémon Legends Z-A mega stones, which turn your Pokémon into… well, mega versions of themselves.
