Pokemon Go Unova Stone: How to get it and which Pokemon need it to evolve
You'll need the stone to catch 'em all.
Remember when evolving a Pokemon in Pokemon Go was simply a case of collecting enough candy and pressing a button? Well, in a lot of cases, those days are long behind us now and there are all sorts of things you need to do to evolve.
Some require you to walk a certain distance, some make you play a series of challenges, and others require a stone - and there are multiple stones out there that work on different Pokemon in the game. It really has got a lot more complex!
The stone we are looking at here is the Unova stone and you will want to get your hands on a few if you plan on filling up that Pokedex. Here is what you need to know about how to get one and what Pokemon they can be used on.
How to get an Unova stone in Pokemon Go
Get on those research tasks and make sure you complete one a day as you will have a chance to get an Unova stone once every seven days if you do.
They tend to drop the most commonly from these research tasks, specifically when you collect the rewards for completing seven days worth but, and this is frustrating, it is no guarantee. You could also end up with a Sinnoh stone (also worth having) but the best advice is to just keep doing these and hope that you get lucky.

The word is that you will also be able to get one from PVP battles at some point but right now that hasn't been added so we just have the research tasks at the moment.
