Evolution Items
Evolution Items can be used to induce evolution on a Pokémon who is compatible with that evolution item.
When it comes to learning moves, it will only learn the moves that are listed for the evolution. However, an evolved Pokémon is still capable of learning its pre-evolution's moves via Playerdex if it has fulfilled that pre-evolution's level requirement for the move; modifying your Pokémon's attacks will cost a Pokédollar fee dependent on its level.
GMs or DEVs will not revert the evolution if you aren't happy with it.
Evolutionary Stones
Most evolutionary stones can be purchased at the Celadon City Department Store or Goldenrod City Department Store for a price of 2,100 PokéMoney. The only evolution stones sold elsewhere are Moon Stones (locations specified below), which currently sell for
10,000 PokéMoney each. Most stones can also be purchased in the PlayerDex Token Store for varying prices depending on the stone.

Held Evolution Items
In PWO, handheld items required to be held items upon trading to trigger an evolution works differently than Nintendo - Hold inducing evolutions acts identically to evolution stones in PWO; you have to select the item from your bag pack, and select what Pokémon to use it on when prompted.
These items are currently not purchasable from NPC vendors, but they can be purchased on the Token Store, or bundled together with a Pokémon purchase in the Prize Corner. Additionally, the Dragon Scale and Metal Coats are known to be an occasional drop from Pokémon in the Horsea and Magnemite evolution lines, respectively.
For items that are redeemed from the Prize Corner, they are only tied to the Pokémon it's bundled with, and not inducible for any other Pokémon with that particular item. For example, if a Shiny Stone is co-purchased with Togetic, then it's only usable on Togepi; not any other Pokémon, even if they were compatible with it in the handheld games.
