Playing the Pokemon Go game challenges both mind and body as certain strategies are needed to achieve a higher level. With the introduction of Gen 2 Pokemon characters, it also entails a meticulous process of searching, spinning on Pokestops and still looking for candies and items. Thus making the popular online game a strenuous one or just thrilling for some players.

The new evolution items needed to produce Gen 2 Pokemon evolutions are the Sun stone, King's rock, Metal coat, Dragon scale and Upgrade item. According to reports from Press Start, each of these with an additional amount of candies will yield Gen 2 Pokemon characters as follows:

Dragon Scale: Evolves Seadra into Kingdra

King's Rock: Evolves Poliwhirl into Politoed / Slowpoke into Slowking

Metal Coat: Onix into Steelix / Scyther into Scizor

Sun Stone: Gloom into Bellossom / Sunkern into Sunflora

Upgrade: Porygon into Porygon2

Normally, these items can be found in Pokestops but the condition varies to every player as some can't get a single item in numerous spins, while others get the items easily on their first spin. With this in mind, one cannot tell how fate will lead them to the new evolution items.

There are also two new kinds of berries available in the form of Nanab and Pinab which are as useful as the evolution items. But as per reports from CNET, these berries tend to drop from elsewhere and with some luck; catching Pokemon and collecting candies are made easy. All in all, determination and pure luck is the key to this playing Pokemon Go.

Before the arrival of the much anticipated Gen 2 update, a single Pokemon evolution only needed a substantial amount of candy. But with the coming of new evolution items, one cannot be sure the simplicity of the process of earning these items.
