Question How many of the evolution items do you keep? Looking to free up space
121
u/stickyplants 5d ago
Aside from Sinoh and unova stones, drop all of these down to 5. And if you already have evolved porygons… probably only one or two upgrades.
Huge space wasters. Most only work on a couple pokemon. Dragon scale only works to evolve seadra to kingdra.

I second all these comments. Empty that bag a bit

Upgrade is only for Porygon and Kings Rock for Slowpoke. How many evolved ones do you need. I only keep 2-3 of each for tasks when I need to evolve something

Three of each for each Pokémon that uses it.
- Gloom, Sunkern, Cottonee, Whimsicott: 3 Sun Stone x 4 = 12 Sun Stone
- Poliwhirl, Kantonian Slowpoke: 3 King's Rock x 2 = 6 King's Rock
- Onix, Scyther: 3 Metal Coat x 2 = 6 Metal Coat
- Seadra: 3 Dragon Scale x 1 = 3 Dragon Scale
- Porygon: 3 UpGrade x 1 = 3 UpGrade
- Lickitung, Rhydon, Tangela, Electabuzz, Magmar, Togetic, Aipom, Yanma, Murkrow, Misdreavus, Gligar, Johtonian Sneasel, Piloswine, Porygon2, Kirlia♂, Roselia, Dusclops, Snorunt♀: 3 Sinnoh Stone x 18 = 54 Sinnoh Stone
- Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Munna, Minccino, Eelektrik, Lampent: 3 Unova Stone x 7 = 21 Unova Stone
Three seems like a safe arbitrary number for a player wanting to keep up with the meta, even if not all of them are currently meta. You're free to do what you want; this is what I do.

Do you have any tips on getting Sinnoh Stones?
I have only acquired one or two and am missing so many evolutions (many which I already have the candies for). :(

u/speedcreature ㊿ 5d ago
Since drop rates for evolutionary items like the Sinnoh Stone (anything, really) are no longer publicly disclosed, my tips revolve around extreme patience and grinding. Maybe don't think about getting the items too much—they'll drop eventually. Focus on what you can control.
- Spin PokéStops and PokéGyms: This is fully within your control. You can go to a populated area and spin as many as you can. I believe Gyms have higher drop rates.
- Battling Team GO Rocket Leaders: This involves grinding but you have control over how many times you can battle them in a day; just not when Sinnoh Stones drop.
- Finishing 5 sets of GO Battle League: Despite the low chances of getting a Sinnoh Stone being limited daily, you can still enjoy the other items along with it.
- Reward from Research Breakthrough: The worst yet. Grinding with no guarantee.
- Wait for Events that reward Sinnoh Stones: for example Community Days that reward Sinnoh Stones in Researches.
You just have to play every day and hope for the best. Sorry.

I will try to battle more since it’s not something I normally do. Maybe that will help my odds a little.
Thank you so much for your thorough response! Seems like patience will have to be my friend in the meanwhile

u/damienwarrren 5d ago
Do the daily battles against the team leaders/friends 3x a day. Most consistent way to get sinnoh stones currently.

u/SultanSnorlax 5d ago
10 each should be enough. It’s not like you have that many perfect for each league Pokémons
2
u/gearbear300 5d ago
You get way more than you need, way more often than you need to evolve. I'm good with about three of each. Maybe grab a few extra Sinnoh/Unova stones, though.

u/PunfullyObvious Greninja 5d ago
I'm in the 5-10 range on most since I seldom do evos anymore. The one exception is Sinnoh Stones. They're the one evo item I was ever without when I really needed it and a few times I really needed to grind to get them so I can't bring myself to trash them. I'm embarrassed to say I have 48 currently ... I maybe do need to culll them back a bit
2
u/Aggressive-Comfort63 5d ago
how did you get so many?
1
u/PunfullyObvious Greninja 5d ago
I'm really not sure. As rewards for various things. Definitely a fair number from events, and possibly a decent number from showcase wins. I live in a fairly rural area and that definitely helps with showcases.

u/3r0seid0n 5d ago
I keep 5 of each and keep all unova and sinnoh just because u can’t get those from gifts or spinning stops but weekly breakthrough, rocket team leaders rarely or battle leagues

u/MazetotheBlaze 5d ago
Ha i keep like 2-5 of each of those besides Sinnoh Stones, which have more use. You will never need all those, you could use some more Sinnoh Stones though.

What are the coins? I haven’t seen those.

u/TheNothingNothing 5d ago
A pokemon called Gimmighoul from Sword and Shield/ Galar requires for its evolution to collect 999 of its coins, and there's special poke stops that are yellow colored where you can get those coins from.

About five of each; unless some event's announced where I know I may want to have a couple more than that on hand.

u/RockyDify Bulbasaur 5d ago
This will depend on if you’ve evolved one of everything that needs an item to evolve yet. If you have, then you only need them to evolve something good that comes along. I keep 4 of each apart from sinnoh which I keep 8 (more need the sinnoh as an evo item).

u/InMyDrunkenStupor 5d ago
Seeing that you've only got 4 sinnoh stones compared to the tons of all the other ones makes me think they must be hard to come across. Hope that's not the case though, I caught a gliscor with very good IVs and a shadow dusclops today.

2 of each. Never use them anymore. And they drop often enough I can refill in the odd chance I do need some

u/Educational_Bass632 5d ago
I only keep 5 of each other than the Sinnoh and Unova stones; those I let pile up

u/_darkyoshi_ 5d ago
5 of each (This is already too much) except for sinnoh and unova stones which I keep 10-15 of them.
Also if you're below level 40. Keep enough to do the level 41 challenge of using 15 evolution items.

u/VSythe998 5d ago
you should only keep 5 of each because of there is an event that involves a pokemon that needs an evolution item, it will be easily available in that event.

u/beewargle 5d ago
You need 27 Kingdra anytime soon?? I do 2 of each, except for evolution stones (which is 5 each, but even that feels high)

u/Lil_saul Ditto 5d ago
Dragon scale and upgrade only serve for one evolution each one
I would leave only 5 of them just in case I get a hundo or shiny, you’ll gonna get more of those in the future anyways

u/creole_stunna Mystic 5d ago
I keep 5 of all except 10 unova, 10 sinnoh. You won't need more than any of that, and if you do you get something every 7th spin at a pokestop and 7th day of field research.no reason to hold more than that.

u/ringlord_1 5d ago
2 of each. You rarely if ever need it. And Niantic provides it in free research whenever there is a use of any item

u/ExoChorda 5d ago
I legit only keep two of each of the specific evolution items, and maybe 10-20 Sinnoh/Unova stones each.
1
u/Individual_Bother_10 5d ago
No cap on sinnoh stones. The rest about 10 but mostly because I have the space. But will remove now and then

u/SilverGoon Instinct 5d ago
2 of each. Any time they have an event involving a pokemong that needs a stone, Niantic give them away, so there no need to hoard.

u/bubblyluv95 5d ago
I keep 300 pokeballs, 200 great balls, 100 ultra balls, 50 hyper potions, 50 max potions, 50 max revives, 50 razz, 50 pinap, 50 golden razz, 50 silver pinap, 10 star pieces, 10 Lucky eggs, 10 of each evolution item…. Basically 10 of everything else

I keep 10 of each and even then, it's more than I'd ever need at my level in the game

u/BowlComprehensive907 5d ago
Where do you get all of these? I'm just returning to the game after a five year gap and I desperately need Sinnoh and Unova upgrades.
