The Pierre Soleil is obtained mainly by spinning PokéStops, but the most reliable method is still the 7-Day Series Bonus. This bonus guarantees you a randomly selected evolution item from a pool of five possibilities, including the Sun Stone.

Here are all the ways to get one, and the Pokémon who need it to grow.

1. Obtain a Sunstone from PokéStops or arenas

The Pierre Soleil is part of objects of evolution that you can get by spinning the PhotoDiscs of the PokéStops in Pokémon GO. It's the most accessible method for everyday use.

The problem is that the rewards are random. With each spin, you have a small chance of getting one of several evolution items: Pierre Soleil, Draco Scale, Metal Skin, Royal Rock Where Update. The probability per spin remains low, so you'll need patience.

To maximize your chances, the rule is simple: the more PokéStops you visit, the more chances you’ll have to spin. Get into the habit of spin as many PokéStops as possible every day. The Arenas also feature a PhotoDisc, but they are not confirmed as a reliable source of evolution stones, unlike PokéStops.

By combining your daily rotations with the 7-Day Series Bonus As explained in detail below, you'll eventually get your hands on this item—or even several stones over time.

2. Shooting 7 PokéStops in 7 days in Pokémon GO

On Pokémon GO, you win a standard bonuses when you visit a PokéStop every day without fail for a week. This is the most reliable way to get a subject to change.

Here's how it works in practice:

  • For 7 days in a row, go to a PokéStop and spin the Photo Disc.
  • the Day 7 From your series, you'll receive bonus items and gifts, including one Guaranteed Special Evolution Item.

Please note an important distinction: this evolutionary object is chosen at random from among five. You might come across a Pierre Soleil, a Draco Scale, a Metal Cladding (also known as "Metal Skin"), a Royal Rock or a Update. The Sunstone isn't guaranteed in every set, but it's by far the most reliable way to complete your collection and your Pokédex.

4. Participate in field studies and earn rewards for special missions

Some missions of’field study let you win a Pierre Soleil as a reward. This is also true of several special studies one-time offers made during events. For example, the special study Ondulation du temps gives you the stone as a second step, once the tasks are completed.

Please note: these awards change regularly depending on the time of year and current events, such as a Community Day or a seasonal collection. To enjoy it:

  • Open the tab for field studies to view today's tasks related to PokéStops.
  • Check the tab for special studies to track multi-step tasks.
  • Identify the ones that give a subject to change among their awards.

These missions do not always guarantee a Pierre Soleil, but they remain a reliable source to obtain evolution items without having to rely solely on luck at PokéStops.

5. Participate in raids

The raids are another opportunity to leave with some objects of evolution. Some raids reward participants with rare stones, including the Pierre Soleil, depending on current events. It's not guaranteed on every raid, but it's a good reason not to overlook this activity if you're looking to Evolve certain Pokémon species without waiting for this week's bonus.

6. Get a Sunstone by receiving Gifts

The Gifts of your friends are another possible source of Pierre Soleil in Pokémon GO. Each gift contains randomly selected items, and the evolution stones for Johto (including the Sun Stone) are among the possible prizes.

You can't request a specific stone—the contents are completely random. Here's a helpful tip: the items don't come from the PokéStop shown on the postcard. Only this postcard indicates the geographical origin of the gift; the objects come out of a general shared pool To all players.

Please note: the Sinnoh Stones are never included as gifts. To obtain this item, you must use other methods, such as field research or combat. The Pierre Soleil, ...she, on the other hand, is still easily accessible here.
