How To Get Thunder Stone In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?

• Thunder Stone is an evolution stone in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
• By using the Thunder Stone, players can evolve Eevee, Pikachu, Eelektrick, and Tadbulb.
• Thunder Stone can be bought from the Delibird Presents Shop for 3,000 Poke Dollars.

Thunder Stone is one of the oldest Evolution Stones in the Pokemon world. It was introduced back in the 1st Generation and has now made its way to the latest Generation. The Thunder Stone is an evolution item that can be given to some special pokemon to make them evolve into their next form.

It is essential to have a wide variety of Pokemon types in your team while playing Scarlet and Violet. Therefore, every veteran trainer knows that an Electric-type is a must. Whereas on the other hand, if you’re someone who isn’t looking to, or can’t, evolve their in-team pokemon using the Thunder Stone, you can still get it to complete your Pokedex.

So, where exactly can you find the Thunder Stone in the Paldea Region? Luckily, there are a few places where you can acquire the Stone. 

Delibird Presents Shop

First off, the easiest method to get the Thunder Stone is by purchasing it at the Delibird Presents Shop.

Delibird Presents Shop Method:

1. The easiest way to get a Thunder Stone is by purchasing it at the Delibird Presents Shop, but this method requires spending money.
2. To access the Delibird Presents Shops, you must first defeat the first three Gym Leaders in the game. This means you need to defeat Katy, the Bug-type Gym Leader in Cortondo Town, followed by Brassius, the Grass-type Gym Leader in Artazon Town. Lastly, claim the badge from Iono, the Electric-type Gym Leader in Levincia Town.
3. Once you have all three badges, you can visit the Delibird Presents Shops located in Mesagoza, Levincia, and Cascarrafa.
4. Inside the shop, choose the “General Goods” option, and you’ll find the Thunder Stone available for purchase for 3,000 Poke Dollars.

Pokedex Reward

1. You can also obtain a Thunder Stone as a reward from Jacq, the homeroom Biology teacher at the Naranja/Uva Academy.
2. To receive this reward, you need to complete certain milestones in your Pokedex. Specifically, you’ll need to complete 30 Pokedex Entries.
3. After achieving this milestone, interact with Jacq, and he will reward you with a Thunder Stone.

This provides you with two different approaches to obtaining a Thunder Stone in the game: purchasing it or earning it as a reward for completing Pokedex entries.

Dropped Item Location

Apart from getting the Thunder Stone as a reward or purchasing it from a shop, you also have the option to search for it in the open world. Getting the Thunder Stone as a dropped item may seem like a simple task since you won’t need to grind out Pokedex entries or spend any Poke Dollars.

However, it will require you to get advanced traversal abilities for your mount pokemon by beating the Titans in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Since the area can not be reached right at the beginning of the game, therefore, you will need to wait a while before heading toward these places in Paldea.

With that said, the Thunder Stone can be found in the West Province (Area One). Next to the river bank, you will notice two Windmills. Both Windmills can be climbed by using the spiral staircase, and one of them has the Thunder Stone on the top floor inside a Pokeball. 

Porto Marinada Auction

The last method to get the Thunder Stone in the Pokemon game is by taking part in the Auction house at Porto Marinada. You can find Porto Marinada on the Western side of the Paldea region. The Auction houses are the central attention in the portside town.

Head towards the auction houses under the huge shed. Talk to each auctioneer to check all the rewards. The rewards change each day. Hence, you can drop by to check whether any auctioneer is bidding off a Thunder Stone. When you do find it, initiate the Auction, where you will face NPCs as your rival bidders. 

After winning the bidding war, you will acquire the Thunder Stone from the Porto Marinada Auction center.

Which Pokemon Evolve Using The Thunder Stone?

the Thunder Stone can be used to evolve certain Electric-type Pokémon. Here is a list of Pokémon that can evolve using the Thunder Stone:

1. Eevee evolves into Jolteon.
2. Pikachu evolves into Raichu.
3. Eelektrik evolves into Eelektross.
4. Magneton evolves into Magnezone.
5. Tadpole evolves into Bellibot.

Each Thunder Stone has only one use, so if you want to evolve multiple Pokémon, you’ll need to obtain multiple Thunder Stones. These evolutions offer players the opportunity to add powerful Electric-type Pokémon to their teams.
