In Pokemon Go, Players can get King’s Rock to evolve certain Pokemon. When used on Kanto Slowpoke, it will evolve into Slowking, while using it on Poliwhirl will result in Politoed. Unfortunately, the King’s Rock is consumed upon evolving the Pokemon, meaning you can only use it once per Pokemon.
How to get King’s Rock in Pokemon Go
While there’s no guaranteed method to get the King’s Rock in Pokemon Go, here are the main ways to get it:
- Spinning PokeStops and Gyms: Spinning PokeStops and Gyms is a primary method of obtaining various items, including a King’s Rock. The chances of receiving a King’s Rock are relatively low, but consistent spinning can eventually lead to acquiring one.
- Opening a Friend’s Gift: Opening a Friend’s Gift has a small probability of rewarding you with a King’s Rock. This method requires maintaining active friendships with other Pokemon Go players.
- Reaching a Research Breakthrough: Reaching a Research Breakthrough by completing seven days of Field Research tasks guarantees the reward of an evolutionary item, including a King’s Rock. This method offers a more consistent chance of obtaining a King’s Rock compared to spinning PokeStops or opening Friend’s Gifts.
- Completing certain Special Research Tasks: Specific Special Research tasks may offer a King’s Rock as a reward. These tasks are often tied to special events or storylines within the game.
