What is an Eviolite and what does it do?

Question

I have no idea ._.

Answer 1

Eviolite is a held item that increases the Defence and Special Defence of the holder by 50%. It only works on species/forms that are capable of evolution. For example, Eviolite will work on Frogadier and Galarian Corsola, but not Greninja and Johtonian Corsola.

To demonstrate: if I have a Shelgon with 160 Defence and 120 Special Defence, its effective stats during a battle with Eviolite will be 240 Defence and 180 Special Defence. Eviolite gives a boost to the Pokemon's actual summary screen stats, not its base stats.

Edge cases for whether Eviolite will be effective (such as Meltan) are documented here.

wait, do I have to level up with it or does it just make my Pokemon`s stats shoot up without leveling?

---

No level up is required. The boost is always there so long as the Pokemon holds the item and fits the requirements.

oh, thanks

No problem :)

Answer 2

This item, when attached to a Pokémon that is capable of evolving, will boost the Pokémon's Defense and Special Defense by 50%. Has no effect on Phione or any other Pokemon that is not capable of evolving. ~Smogon

Its used loads in competitive battling.

Answer 3

Eviolite is a hold Item for Pokemon that can evolve. Pokemon that aren't fully evolved yet get a massive boost to their def and sp.def stats while holding the item. It's really good to use for an unevolved wall, or iv you're having trouble EV training due to low def or sp.def. However, the latter cuts out use of any of the Power items.

I'm aware of that, but I tried to post my answer well before there were any. But it took 18 hours for anyone to approve my answer.

Mew was saying that to those who want to flag you because the question was already resolved.

Oh... sorry.
