The Dawn Stone is an important item for Trainers who wish to evolve certain Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. You will need this item if you wish to evolve either Kirlia to Gallade or Snorunt to Froslass.
There are quite a few methods you can use to pick up this Evolution Stone to evolve your desired Pokemon. We have listed below the locations of each Dawn Stone and how you can pick it up for yourself.
First Location: East Province (Area Three)
The first area where you can find the Dawn Stone is the East Province (Area Three). This location is easy to find and is also surrounded by a bunch of other rare items, including Rare Bones and a Fire Stone.
To reach this location, start by flying to the Levincia (North) Pokemon Center, shown above. It is best to have at least beaten the Levincia Gym before making the trek to this location, as the Pokemon might be too high of a level for you.
Once you have reached the Pokemon Center, the Dawn Stone can be found in the location marked above on the map. This can be found northeast of the Pokemon Center. You can start by taking the dirt path north, and once you reach the top nearby the river, you will want to head east to reach the location.
You will find an area with a few large rocks on the ground. There will be many Poke Balls in this area, so you will just want to grab them all, and you will find the Dawn Stone in one of the few at the top.
Second Location: West Province (Area Three)
The second Dawn Stone you can find in the wild is in West Province (Area Three). This location is for players who have Pokemon in the range of level 35 to 40, so make sure to only approach this location when you are ready.
Start by flying to the Medali (West) Pokemon Center, shown above. You can also fly to the Cascarrafa (North) Pokemon Center if you have not reached Medali yet. The Medali (West) Pokemon Center is very close to the location of the Dawn Stone.
Once you have arrived at the Pokemon Center, you can start heading northwest until you reach a small incline, shown on the map above. At the top of this hill is a small area of ruins.
When you reach the ruins, the Dawn Stone will be hidden behind a broken-down wall. It will be in a glowing red Poke Ball on the ground. Once you pick this up, you will have added another Dawn Stone to your arsenal.
Third Location: Auction House In Porto Marinada
The last location where you can pick up a Dawn Stone is through the Auction House in Porto Marinada. This method is a bit more randomized than the previous ones, as it isn’t guaranteed that you will get a Dawn Stone when you immediately arrive at the Auction House.
The Auction House will be located right outside of Asado Desert, as shown above. It will be in the small town of Porto Marinada, which is the location you will need to visit to complete the Gym Test for Cascarrafa Gym. If you have not yet completed the Gym Test, you will not be able to bid on auctions yet.
Once you arrive at the Auction House, you will see speech bubbles pop up above the auctioneers that will tell you what they are selling. If you see any of them talking about selling the Dawn Stone, you will want to approach them and agree to join the auction. There won’t be a set price that you can buy the Dawn Stone for, as you will just need to outbid the NPCs who are bidding with you to win the Dawn Stone. In order to reset the area and the products being sold, you will have to wait until the next in-game day.
