In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the Leaf Stone is a vital evolutionary item used to evolve Voltorb into its unique regional form, Hisuian Electrode, and also to evolve Eevee into the Grass-type Pokémon, Leafeon. This makes the Leaf Stone a crucial tool for trainers looking to complete their Pokédex with these specific evolutions in the ancient Hisui region.
Key Evolutions Empowered by the Leaf Stone in Hisui
The Leaf Stone has always been synonymous with Grass-type evolutions, and its role remains significant in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Trainers exploring the vast landscapes of Hisui will find this item essential for transforming certain Pokémon into their more powerful or specialized forms.
Evolving Voltorb into Hisuian Electrode
One of the most notable uses of the Leaf Stone in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the evolution of Voltorb into Hisuian Electrode. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, which is purely Electric-type, Hisuian Electrode gains the unique Electric/Grass typing, reflecting its origins in the natural, often forested, environment of Hisui. This evolution highlights a fascinating regional adaptation, showcasing how environmental factors can influence a Pokémon's form and type.
- Original Form: Voltorb (Electric)
- Evolved Form: Hisuian Electrode (Electric/Grass)
- Method: Use a Leaf Stone
Evolving Eevee into Leafeon
The Leaf Stone also facilitates the classic evolution of Eevee into Leafeon, the verdant Grass-type "Eeveelution." This evolution path has been a staple in the Pokémon series, and it continues in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, allowing trainers to obtain Leafeon by simply exposing their Eevee to the power of the Leaf Stone. Leafeon is known for its graceful appearance, resembling a plant, and its strong physical attacks.
- Original Form: Eevee (Normal)
- Evolved Form: Leafeon (Grass)
- Method: Use a Leaf Stone
