Pierre Soleil - Evolution Item
Une pierre étrange qui fait évoluer certaines espèces de Pokémon. Elle est rouge comme le soleil couchant.
Special evolution items like the Pierre Soleil first arrived back with the second generation of Pokémon, and are now required when evolving Pokémon such as Héliatronc and Joliflor and Joliflor and Farfaduvet and Fragilady. When evolving these Pokémon, this item is required in addition to the candy, and is consumed when used.
How to evolve Tournegrin into Héliatronc
In order to evolve your Tournegrin into Héliatronc, you will need to have a Pierre Soleil with you in your bags. You will also need to have all 50 candy, in the same way as with a normal evolution.
On your Tournegrin pokémon's screen, select the evolution through the usual in-game menu. The Pierre Soleil and candy will be consumed, and you'll have a new Héliatronc with hopefully all the right moves.
In Pokémon GO, evolving Tournegrin into Héliatronc is a lot simpler than some of the other Pokémon games which required your Pokémon to also be traded to another player for the evolution to take place.

How to get the Pierre Soleil
The Pierre Soleil is obtained from spinning Pokestops and Gyms. There is a very low drop chance of around 1% per spin to receive a Pierre Soleil or any of the other evolution item, and there is an equal chance of obtaining each of the 5 currently available items.
There's no way to ensure that the Pierre Soleil will drop, but with only 4 other items, there's a greater than 50% chance that you'll receive one once you've spun over 250 Pokéstops.
The 7th day streak bonus gives you a very high chance of obtaining one of the evolution item, but it's not believed to be guaranteed.
