Water Stone is an evolution item in Pokemon Sword & Shield, combining it with certain Pokemon allows them to evolve into water types. This guide shows where to find Water Stone Location in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Water Stone Location:
Water Stone is found in Bridge Field (Wild Area). Advance north in the area until you see a path going left, with some grass and a Raid den by the city walls. Next to the Raid den, you find the Water Stone in a red Pokeball pickup on the floor. It has the same location in both game versions (same for Sword as well as Shield).
Water Stone Location #2:
You can also find a Water Stone on route 2 on the island after you get your bike upgraded to a water bike (thanks to our reader Paul for posting this in the comments).
Water Stone Location #3:
8 different evolution stone types are found in Lake of Outrage (Wild Area). You need the water bike to reach this area. There’s a big stone circle, behind each stone is a different type of Evo Stone.

Ringo says
You can’t get into the river in route two. I tried every part of the river I could see.
Siloé says
I got a water stone from my Pokémon when I sent them to work
Ringo says
Which job was it that you got a water stone from? I wanna evolve my Eevee into vaporeon.
Evenodds says
You might get it on a 3 star job after the water badge
Jaiyden says
How do I send it to work ???
Lee says
I wanna know how long it takes for the stones to respawn in the lake of outrage?
Goh says
I wanna evolve my Sobble but it’s at Lv, 100 and I cant find the water stones is there a way to get them from a Pokejob?
Skye says
You can’t evolve Sobble with a Water Stone. If it’s at level 100, you need to use a Rare Candy.
bon says
there’s one in hammer lock
Me says
Sobble evolves by level up only.
Dudetheslayer says
The water stones can also evolve Poliwhirl into Poliwrath. Another way to evolve Poliwhirl into Poliwrath is to trade Poliwhirl while it is holding King’s Rock.
Dudetheslayer says
Sorry, just a quick correction. If you trade Poliwhirl with the King’s Rock, it becomes Politoed, not Poliwrath. My mistake 🙂
Wyatt says
You need to go to the professors house to get the water stone on route 2
