Pokemon trainers looking to complete the Paldean Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will need a variety of evolution stones to trigger certain evolutions, as a selection of Pokémon can’t evolve without them. The Dawn Stone is one such evolution stone and it’s one of the rarer and more difficult stones to track down in the game.
At the moment, only two Pokémon will require a Dawn Stone to evolve. The male Kirlia will need a Dawn Stone to evolve into Gallade and a female Snorunt will use a Dawn Stone to evolve into Froslass. Here’s where to find Dawn Stones.
Unlike a lot of other evolution stones, Dawn Stones cannot be bought at Delibird Presents shops. These stones must be found around Paldea by interacting with sparkling spots on the floor. There are two situated in the overworld of West Province (Area Three) and East Province (Area Three).
The first is available reasonably early in the game. As soon as the Treasure Hunt has been explained, take the West exit from Mesagoza to enter South Province (Area Two) and keep heading north until you’ve passed the Asado Desert. Once you arrive in West Province, climb the hills to the North and West of Medali Gym. There’s a series of ruins nearby and amongst them is a shining item on the ground. Collect this to obtain the first Dawn Stone.
To find the second, travel north from East Province towards the river before going east towards the sea. The Dawn Stone is on the ground surrounded by other items. Dawn Stones will also rarely spawn in the Asado Desert if you struggle to find these static ones.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are out now for Switch.
