Pokémon GO, the mobile game collaboration between Niantic and The Pokémon Company has been a hit since the summer of 2016. With updates and events constantly coming in and adding beloved regions and Pokémon to the game, Pokémon GO has constantly been on the rise since its landmark release years ago. A feature added to the games since release is the ability to evolve players' Pokémon using evolution stones, a common mechanic in the main series of Pokémon games.
