Locate your Shiny Stone. It’s a green and yellow stone.

Click Use this item. This will prompt you to select a Pokémon on your team. Note that once you evolve Roselia, Roserade won't be able to learn new moves by leveling up. If Roselia still has a few moves you want them to learn naturally, wait to use the Shiny Stone.

Select Roselia. This will evolve Roselia into Roserade. You’ve successfully evolved Roselia! Roserade is a Grass and Poison Pokémon. Next, learn about type weaknesses in our expert guide. Now that you've evolved Roselia, you might be considering evolving other Pokémon. Most first-form Pokémon (like Pichu in Pokémon Sun and Moon) just require a high friendship level to evolve.
