What is King's Rock?

A generalised definition of the King’s Rock in the Pokemon franchise reads:

“A rock that can make certain species of Pokemon evolve. It looks like a crown.”

King’s Rock is a special Evolution Item. Evolution Items were introduced in Generation II, and they help certain species of Pokemon to evolve into stronger forms. Besides King’s Rock, there are a few other special Evolution Items in Pokemon GO. They are as follows:

  • Dragon Scale
  • Metal coat
  • Sun Stone
  • Upgrade
  • Sinnoh Stone
  • Unova Stone
