Okay, so you’re trying to figure out how to get a Sun Stone in Pokemon Go, right? Lemme tell ya, I went through that myself a while back. It wasn’t super obvious at first, felt like I was just spinning my wheels, literally.
My Grind for the Sun Stone
So, I had this Gloom, see? And I really wanted to evolve it into Bellossom. Also had a Sunkern just sitting there, mocking me, waiting to become Sunflora. Checked their evolution paths, and bam, both needed this thing called a Sun Stone. Okay, easy enough, I thought. Just gotta find one.
First thing I did was what I always do: spin PokéStops. Like, a lot of ’em. I live near a park, so I’d just walk laps, spinning every stop I passed. Day after day, nothing. Got plenty of Poké Balls, berries, even a few other evolution items like King’s Rocks and Metal Coats popped up occasionally, but no Sun Stone. It started getting a bit annoying, you know? You see the item you need, you know it exists, but the game just won’t cough it up.
I remember complaining to a buddy who also plays, and he mentioned something about streaks. Like, spinning PokéStops every single day.
Focusing on the 7-Day Streak
That got me thinking. I hadn’t been super consistent with playing every single day. So, I decided to make it a mission. For one whole week, I made sure, no matter what, I spun at least one PokéStop each day. It wasn’t always easy, sometimes I’d nearly forget until late at night, then have to quickly open the app before midnight.
Here’s basically what I did:
- Day 1: Spun a stop. Got usual stuff.
- Day 2: Spun another stop. More balls, maybe a potion.
- Day 3: Kept spinning. Still nothing special.
- Day 4: Getting the hang of the daily spin.
- Day 5: Still just regular items.
- Day 6: Almost there. More items, maybe bonus XP, but no stone.
- Day 7: This was the big one. I went to my usual park stop, held my breath a bit, and spun it.
And guess what? On that seventh-day spin bonus, along with a load of other items, there it was! A shiny little Sun Stone icon popped up on my screen. Felt like I’d won the lottery, honestly. It seems like the game guarantees an evolution item on your 7-day streak spin, but it’s random which one you get. I guess I just got lucky that time it was the Sun Stone I needed.
So yeah, my advice? Keep spinning those stops, but really focus on hitting that 7-day streak bonus. That seems to be the most reliable way I found to actually get one of those rarer evolution items like the Sun Stone. Took a bit of patience, but I finally evolved that Gloom into a pretty cool Bellossom. Worth it.
