==In the core series games==
Using an Evolution stone on an appropriate Pokémon causes it to evolve instantly, consuming the Evolution stone. This process cannot be stopped by pressing the B button.
Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based Evolution can no longer learn new moves by leveling up, unlike their pre-evolved form. Those Pokémon may have the opportunity to learn one or two moves exclusive to the evolved form by level-up but otherwise will have no new moves to learn. Starting in Generation VIII, however, the Pokémon that this apply to may instead learn the moves their pre-Evolution could learn at the Move Reminder, gaining access to all of the previous form's level up moves regardless of level. Some Pokémon are encouraged to use an evolutionary stone on early as their moves learned by level up may significantly change compared to their pre-evolved form rather than losing the prospect of learning new moves. This is more common within Evolution by stone that alters the Pokémon's type upon Evolution although this is not always the case.
