Pokémon Adventures
Yellow arc
In The Kindest Tentacruel, the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman told 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 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 Tentacruel, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that Giovanni had given them to Red so he could freely evolve and devolve his Eevee.
Ruby & Sapphire arc
In Ring Ring Goes Beldum, a Leaf Stone was seen amongst the stones collected by Steven.

- The Leaf Stone is the only Evolution stone that cannot be sold to the ore maniac in Pokémon Black and White. This was corrected in Black 2 and White 2.
