Eviolite is a held item introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series. Its primary effect is to boost the Defense and Special Defense stats of the holder by 50%, but this benefit only applies if the Pokémon is not fully evolved. This characteristic makes Eviolite a valuable item for mid-evolution stages, greatly enhancing their viability in competitive play.
