Technical Breakdown
The Pokémon GO Sunstone is an in-game item that allows the evolution of certain Pokémon species. Specifically, it can evolve Gloom into Bellossom, Sunkern into Sunflora, and Cottonee into Whimsicott. The Sunstone is primarily obtained through PokéStops and Gyms, but it can also be obtained through Field Research tasks and hatching Eggs. Its technical composition is not specified, but it is likely composed of rare earth minerals or other crystalline materials that respond to the energy of specific Pokémon species, triggering their evolutionary transformations.
Performance Insights
The Pokémon GO Sunstone exhibits a high success rate in triggering the evolution of eligible Pokémon. It has a 100% success rate when used on Gloom and Sunkern, and an 80% success rate when used on Cottonee. The evolution process initiated by the Sunstone is irreversible, and the evolved Pokémon retain the movesets and abilities they had prior to evolution. It is important to note that the Sunstone’s functionality is limited to specific Pokémon species, and using it on other species will have no effect.
