Which Pokemon Need Sun Stone To Evolve Arceus?

Arceus is one of the most powerful Pokemon in the game with its ability to change its type to any of the 18 types. However, to evolve Arceus, you need to use a specific item called a “Plate” that corresponds to the type you want Arceus to be. But, there are some other Pokemon that need a Sun Stone to evolve into their next form.

Gloom

Gloom is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokemon that evolves from Oddish. When exposed to a Sun Stone, Gloom will evolve into one of two different Pokemon depending on the game version. In the Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen versions, Gloom will evolve into a Vileplume, while in the Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver versions, Gloom will evolve into a Bellossom.

Sunkern

Sunkern is a pure Grass-type Pokemon that evolves into Sunflora when exposed to a Sun Stone. Sunflora is also a pure Grass-type Pokemon and has the ability to use the move Solar Beam without having to charge it up.

Cottonee

Cottonee is a dual-type Grass/Fairy Pokemon that evolves into Whimsicott when exposed to a Sun Stone. Whimsicott is also a dual-type Grass/Fairy Pokemon and has the ability to use the move Cotton Guard, which sharply raises its Defense stat.

Petilil

Petilil is a pure Grass-type Pokemon that evolves into Lilligant when exposed to a Sun Stone. Lilligant is also a pure Grass-type Pokemon and has the ability to use the move Quiver Dance, which raises its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed stats.

Helioptile

Helioptile is a dual-type Electric/Normal Pokemon that evolves into Heliolisk when exposed to a Sun Stone. Heliolisk is also a dual-type Electric/Normal Pokemon and has the ability to use the move Parabolic Charge, which deals damage to the opponent and restores Heliolisk’s HP.

Rockruff

Rockruff is a pure Rock-type Pokemon that evolves into Lycanroc when exposed to a Sun Stone during the day. Lycanroc has two different forms depending on the version of the game. In the Sun version, Lycanroc has a Midday Form, while in the Moon version, Lycanroc has a Midnight Form.

In conclusion, Arceus does not need a Sun Stone to evolve, but there are several other Pokemon that do. These Pokemon include Gloom, Sunkern, Cottonee, Petilil, Helioptile, and Rockruff. If you want to evolve any of these Pokemon, make sure to have a Sun Stone in your inventory.
