Part 2. How to Get a Sun Stone in Pokémon GO

Sun Stones are relatively rare in Pokémon GO, but they can be obtained through the following methods.

Method 1. 7-Day PokéStop Streak Reward (Best Method)

If you spin a PokéStop or Gym for seven consecutive days, you will receive a special bonus on the seventh day. This bonus guarantees one evolution item, but the type includes Sun Stone, King's Rock, Dragon Scale, Metal Coat, Up-Grade, Sinnoh Stone, or Unova Stone. Which one you get is random.

While not guaranteed, this is one of the most consistent ways to get a Sun Stone in Pokémon GO.

Method 2. Spinning PokéStops and Gyms

Every time you spin a PokéStops or Gym, there is a small chance (about 1%) of receiving an evolution item. The more PokéStops and Gyms you spin daily, the higher your chances of getting a Sun Stone. It is recommended to visit high-traffic areas with many PokéStops to maximize your chances.

Method 3. Completing Research Tasks and Special Events

Certain Field Research tasks and Special Research missions offer evolution items as rewards. Limited-time events sometimes boost drop rates or provide guaranteed Sun Stones as rewards. Keep an eye on the “Today” tab for current research opportunities. Event-exclusive research tasks may provide an easy way to collect a Sun Stone within a short time frame.

Method 4. GO Battle League Rewards

Occasionally, Go Battle League rewards include evolution items, including Sun Stones. Winning battles in the league increases your chances of getting rare items. Players who participate in higher-ranked battles may have better odds of receiving an evolution item.

Method 5. Adventure Sync Rewards

If you walk long distances and activate Adventure Sync, you can earn weekly rewards based on your steps. The 50km reward tier sometimes includes evolution items like Sun Stones. Consistently walking 50km per week is a great way to passively earn rare evolution items.
