Special Evolution Items
Special evolution items first arrived with the second generation of Pokémon, and are now required when evolving certain Pokémon.
The evolution items are obtained from spinning Pokestops and Gyms. They have a very low drop chance of around 1%, and there is an equal chance of obtaining each item. The 7th day streak bonus gives you an increased chance of obtaining an item, but it's not guaranteed.
