How to get Everstone in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Despite being a useful item you might want to use regularly, Everstone is fairly easy to locate. You don’t have to jump through a lot of hoops — you just have to know where to look.

To find Everstone in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, check your local Delibird Presents shop. The shops are only available in larger cities. The one you can access earliest in your adventure is located in Mesagoza. To find it, head to the Mesagoza (West) Pokécenter. From there, cross along the edge of the nearby plaza with the wide patch of flowers. Descend some steps and follow the sloping walkway downhill to reach the shop, now located on your right. The Everstone is available to purchase for 3,000 Pokédollars or LP.

Once you gain the abilities and resources necessary to travel around more remotion portions of Paldea, you can acquire the stone at other Delibird Presents branches. There’s one shop in Levincia, right near the Levincia (North) Pokécenter. Find the third branch in Cascarrafa, not far from the Cascarrafa (North) Pokécenter.

The Delibird Presents shops feature numerous wares. If you don’t see the Everstone listed, make sure to check under the ‘General goods’ menu. Don’t forget to equip it on the desired Pokémon before your next battles.

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet can be purchased on the Nintendo Store.
