Chandelure is the most popular generation five Pokemon according to the 2020 Pokemon Poll that was held by the Pokemon Company. It evolves from a Litwick at level 41 and requires a Dusk Stone to finally become a Chandelure. Part Ghost-type and Fire-type, Lampent is the second stage evolution that sits between Litwick and Chandelure. It is truly a great loss for the Galar region. After all, fans love its evolution because its design is similar to witches and mages. Misdreavus and Murkrow are missed, but hopefully they will reappear in future Pokemon titles. That’s right, Misdreavus is not anywhere in the Galar region either. In Sword and Shield, Misdreavus continues to have its fate tied with Murkrow.

For example, Murkow was exclusive for the Diamond and Black games while Misdreavus was exclusive for Pearl and White. Murkrow was an exclusive to certain titles, and Misdreavus would be the exclusive to the opposing titles. Misdreavus is a parallel Pokemon to Murkrow, as it was introduced in the same generation (and was actually the only new Ghost-type introduced in the Johto region) and also did not get an evolution until the Diamond and Pearl games. On the bright side though, that is one less Pokemon to worry about catching for the Galar Pokedex. Players who have one in their Pokemon Home will just have to wait until future games to use a Dusk Stone on it. Since the DLC expansions were released, Murkrow has still not been added to the game. Unfortunately for the many fans of this Pokemon, Murkrow did not make it to the Galar region games.

Part Dark-type and part Flying-type, Murkrow is actually the only Pokemon that uses a Dusk Stone that is not a Ghost-type. Introduced in generation two, Murkrow did not get an evolution until the same generation that introduced the Dusk Stone. In fact, half of the Pokemon that use a Dusk Stone are not in Pokemon Sword and Shield. There are also some that are not available in the game. In Sword and Shield, this is especially true since spawn rates of Pokemon can greatly differ depending on location and the weather. With easy access to the stones, it can be a greater challenge for players to actually find and determine which Pokemon the stones actually can be used on.

The types of Pokemon Dusk Stones evolve are Dark and Ghost-types. This is the case for all the evolution stones. However, these stones only are usable on four Pokemon out of the total of 898 of them. In the Sword and Shield games, an infinite amount of these evolution items can be found thanks to Lake Outrage and the Digging Duo.

Dusk Stones became a part of the Pokemonworld in the Diamond and Pearl generation.
