Get ready, Trainers! Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are both finally here and we’re more than ready to jump back into the Sinnoh region and Pokemon’s fourth generation of content again. There are a few changes between these and the original releases, but there’s also a lot that is staying the same. They’re remastered games, after all! If you want to get your hands on a Water Stone, there’s one place where you can find one. Here’s everything you need to know below.

Where to Get the Water Stone Evolution Item

The Water Stone can be found in one place while playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Pokemon Shining Pearl – On an island off of Route 213. Route 213 is the Route that connects Pastoria City and the Valor Lakefront in the southeastern area of the Sinnoh Region map.

When you’re on Route 213, you’ll need to keep an eye out for an opportunity to use Surf. A Water Stone can be found on a small island block that’s only accessible off of Route 213 with Surf. It’s north of Swimmer Evan and Swimmer Mary, so when you spot them you’re in the right area!
