Pokémon That Evolve with Items

Sources checked: September 24, 2026

An evolution item can be used directly, held, carried in the bag or held by an opponent. Its role matters as much as its name; extra triggers remain part of the method.

Items used directly

Pokémon: 78

Stones and consumables such as Black Augurite trigger their matching evolutions. Legends: Arceus also uses the Linking Cord and direct-use versions of several formerly held trade items; these alternatives are game-specific.
