Having existed since the first generation of games, the Fire Stone mostly evolves Pokemon that are Fire-type and part of the first 151. In Sword and Shield, all the evolution stones are easy to find and can be collected infinitely thanks to the Digging Duo and the stone monument at Lake Outrage.
All the evolution stones evolve between four to six Pokemon. That is very little compared to the 898 total out there since Sword and Shield’s release. While the stones can easily be found in the latest titles, the Pokemon a Fire Stone evolves may be more of a challenge to locate. It is good to know that there are even some of those Pokemon are not available in the Sword and Shield games.
There are only four Pokemon that can use a Fire Stone, and three out of the four of them are from the first generation.
4 Eevee To Flareon
Eevee is a first generation fan favorite due to its adorable design and its ability to evolve into seven different types. Of course, one of those types if Fire. Eevee can become a Flareon through a Fire Stone. It is pretty simple compared to later evolutions like Syvleon, Umbreon, and Espeon. Many players also love Flareon due to its fluffy design.
While Eevee evolutions can be hunted down in the wild late game, Sword and Shield does have a place where wild Eevee roam pretty early on. These wild Eevee can be found in the golden fields of Route 4. Players should be patient though, as their spawn rate is a little low compared to the other wild Pokemon in that area. You may find a ton of Galarian Meowth, Yampers, and Pumpkaboos before finding your first Eevee.
3 Growlithe To Arcanine
Another first generation Pokemon that evolves with a Fire Stone is the first dog-inspired Pokemon, Growlithe. Later puppy Pokemon include Yamper, Rockruff, and Lillipup. However, Growlithe’s evolution has always been a favorite that stands out above other dogs due to its sheer size and power.
In Sword and Shield, Growlithe can actually be found in many locations. These places include the Rolling Fields, Dappled Grove, Watchtower Ruins, East Lake Axewell, West Lake Axewell, Axew’s Eye, South Lake Miloch, Giant’s Seat, North Lake Miloch, Route 3, the Dusty Bowl, and Hammerlocke Hills. Nearly all locations require for the weather to have intense sun. For the highest spawn rate, players should look for Growlithe at the Rolling Fields during intense sun. To get them at their highest wild level (in their 40s), the Dusty Bowl during intense sun is the place to look.
2 Vulpix To Ninetails
Vulpix is a parallel to Growlithe. Like Growlithe, it is a pure Fire-type that evolves with a Fire Stone but it also was exclusive to games without Growlithe and vice versa. In the Sun and Moon generation, it got the Alolan region varient that is Ice and Fairy-type. That variant does not evolve with a Fire Stone, but with an Ice Stone.
Luckily for Sword and Shield players, Vulpix and Growlithe are no longer exclusive in opposing titles. Like Growlithe, Vulpix can be caught in a ton of locations. These places include the Rolling Fields, Dappled Grave, Watchtower Ruins, East Lake Axewell, West Lake Axewell, Axew’s Eye, South Lake Miloch, Giant’s Seat, North Lake Miloch, Route 3, the Dusty Bowl, and Hammerlocke Hills. That’s right, all the same locations as Growlithe! Also in the exact same manner, Vulpix spawns are during intense sun and are best caught in the Rolling Fields. There is also as a special way to catch a Vulpix via the gym challenge at Motostoke. That is a sure way to get a Vulpix. If the player defeats that Vulpix by accident, their chance is lost unless they reload. Of course, there are also those in the wild but that can take some more effort.
1 Pansear To Simisear
One of the elemental monkeys introduced in Black and White, along with Panpour and Pansage, Pansear is the Fire-type that needs a Fire Stone to evolves into Simisear. They were easy to catch in Black and White, because one would be given for free and its element would depend on what starter the player chose in the beginning of the game.
Pansear, along with its other types, are not available in Sword and Shield. They are among the collection of Pokemon that were cut from the Pokedex and did not make a return in any of the DLC expansions. Most fans have theorized that these monkeys didn’t make the cut because they were not popular. While some players may have a Pansear in their Pokemon Home, they will have to wait for future games to transfer it and its monkey counterparts. On the bright side, that is one less Fire Stone to worry about.
