They may not be the most glamorous Evolution Stones out there, but there’s still a lot to be said for Moon Stones. For one thing, these unusual lunar rocks were the only Evolution Stones that couldn’t be bought in the gen 1 games; something that would go on to become standard in future generations. What’s more, no Evolution Stone could be used to evolve more Pokemon in Red & Blue: a fact that’s also true of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.
In total, there are five Pokemon that can be evolved with a Moon Stone in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, which is the same number that can be evolved using a Water Stone. Unlike Water Stones, however, Moon Stones can actually be quite difficult to come by in the gen 4 remakes, with players very much at the mercy of RNG due to the total lack of guaranteed pickups.
Where to Find a Moon Stone in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
Unlike most of the other Evolution Stones in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, players won’t be able to find any Moon Stones out in the overworld, but that’s not to say that they aren’t still fairly easy to come by. The first method for finding them involves catching either a Clefairy, a Cleffa, or a Lunatone; all of which have a 5% chance of holding one of the stones out in the wild. Mt. Coronet is therefore a good place to look, as both Clefairy and Cleffa spawn there.
As is often the case with Evolution Stones in the gen 4 remakes though, the Grand Underground is arguably the best place for players to look for Moon Stones, as they occasionally show up while digging. Granted, they’re quite rare when compared to Fire and Thunder Stones, but players shouldn’t need to spend more than about 20 minutes looking for one. As an added bonus, they’ll probably stumble upon some other great items in the process.
