Where to Find the Water Stone in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Firstly, the Water Stone is purchasable in the stores of the main Paldea cities:
- West Province City, Cascarrafa

Water Stone Pokémon List
When the player has gathered the stones, through exploration or purchase in the cities listed above. The player can then use the stone on the Pokémon which requires the Water Stone for evolution. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, these are:
- Eevee into Vaporeon
- Shellder into Cloyster
Where to Find Eevee
Eevee is the most common Pokémon appearing in the Stone Evolution list. This Pokémon is able to evolve into eight variations depending on the stone or requirement such as their happiness value. Eevee is located in multiple provinces in the Paldea region. These are:
- Pokémon League route
- West Province (Area Three)
- South Province (Area Two)
This Pokémon is relatively easy to find, although being stated in the Pokedex as ‘rarely seen’. Eevee can be obtained quite early within the game. Players should check the areas mentioned above and in the yellow spots shown in the screenshot below. In these areas Eevee may not initially appear. Players should repeatedly check by fast travelling to change the spawn chances of seeing Eevee. We recommend players pick up many Eevee to evolve into their various forms.
Where to Find Shellder
Shellder is easier to locate than Eevee. All players need to do here is search the southern border of the Paldea map as Shellder can be found in the surrounding waters. This Pokémon can be found in the provinces:
- South Province (Area Four)
- South Province (Area Six)
Those are the Pokémon that can be evolved using the Water Stone in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Want to see more Pokémon content? See related: All Thunder Stone Evolution Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
