==In the anime==
[[File:Water Stone BW135.png|thumb|250px|A Water Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Water Stone debuted in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]].

In ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', a Water Stone belonging to [[Samantha]] appeared; Brock's Lombre used it to evolve into {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}}. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolved via an Evolution stone onscreen.

{{an|Professor Oak}} gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'' so that it could evolve into {{p|Ludicolo}}.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', [[Ursula]] used a Water Stone and a Fire Stone during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] to evolve her two Eevee, evolving them into a Vaporeon and Flareon, respectively.

''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' featured the Water Stone along with all of the other Evolution stones available as of [[Generation V]].

A full set of Evolution stones was seen on display in a stone shop in [[Geosenge Town]] in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Evolutionary stones EToP.png|thumb|250px|Evolution stones in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' was Evolution stones. {{an|Misty}} hoped to buy a Water Stone for her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} in [[Stone Town]], a town on [[Dream Island]] where all the Evolution stones in the Pokémon world come from. However, she couldn't afford one, remarking that an inexpensive one might make the evolution go bad.

Misty was later given a Water Stone by [[Mikey]], who was being pressured to join the "[[Knights of the E Stone]]", a club which requires members to own a Pokémon evolved by an Evolution stone.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Evolution stones Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Water Stone in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]] was able to evolve into a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of a Water Stone when they were thrown into the water in {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, although the cause of his evolution wasn't revealed until the {{chap|Yellow}}.

===={{chap|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told {{adv|Yellow}} about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of Vermilion Harbor, housing a set of Evolution stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of {{adv|Red}}'s Poliwhirl's evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild {{p|Tentacruel}}, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that {{adv|Giovanni}} had given them to Red so he could freely evolve and [[devolution|devolve]] his [[Vee|Eevee]].

===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS189|Mowing Down Ludicolo]]'', [[Shelly]] used a Water Stone to evolve her {{p|Lombre}} into a {{p|Ludicolo}} while battling against {{adv|Sapphire}}'s Pokémon.

===={{chap|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS519|Triple Threat]]'', [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] used a Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, and Water Stone to evolve their {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, and {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} into {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}, respectively, during their battle against the [[Shadow Triad]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Through {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Evolution stone bypassing|a glitch}} in the [[Generation I]] games, Pokémon that would normally require an [[Evolution stone]] to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle. In the case of the Water Stone, this Pokémon is {{p|Onix}}.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the player tries to give their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Eevee}} a Water Stone, they will not accept it, and therefore, will not evolve. The same thing will happen if the player attempts to give them a [[Fire Stone]] or a [[Thunder Stone]].
