Best tips to get Sun Stones in Pokemon GO

To acquire Sun Stones efficiently in this game, prioritize playing in areas with a high concentration of PokeStops. The more of these you spin, the higher your likelihood of obtaining these Evolutionary Items.

Keep in mind that the Sun Stone isn't the sole Evolutionary Item available in this game, so it might require some grinding to secure one, even if you're trying to get it as a seven-day streak reward or through a Research Task.

There are several Evolutionary Items like King’s Rock and Sinnoh Stone in Pokemon GO. These have a similar chance of being dropped as a reward when you finish a Field Research or a Special Research. So, do not get disheartened if you fail to get one in your first few tries. The game will eventually hand you the much-needed Sun Stone.

How to use Sun Stones in Pokemon GO

Once you have a Sun Stone in your inventory, using it is fairly simple. You will have to go to your Pokemon Storage. Once you are on the page that shows all the Pocket Monsters that you have caught, you will either have to scroll to the monster you want to evolve or type its name in the search bar.

Upon finding the Pokemon, you have to click on it. If you have the required Candies for the evolution, the Sun Stone will be used automatically during the evolution.
