Where To Get Dusk Stones in Pokémon ORAS (All Locations)

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire there are four ways to obtain Dusk Stones. The easiest way to get a Dusk Stone is by completing the Secret Super Training stage known as “Watch Out! That’s One Tricky Second Half!”. You have a good chance of receiving a Dusk Stone when you beat this stage within the target time.

Other ways to get Dawn Stones are viable and they’re all repeatable, but these other methods might be more tedious than the Secret Super Training stage.

But in this guide we’ll go over all of the ways that you can farm Dusk Stones in the game.

Method 1 – Secret Super Training: Watch Out! That’s One Tricky Second Half!

Secret Super Training is a series of mini-games designed for fully-trained Pokémon to obtain rare items. If you complete the stage called “Watch Out! That’s One Tricky Second Half!” within the target time, you have the chance to win one of the following prizes:

• Dusk Stone
• Hard Stone
• Pretty Wing
• Soda Pop
• Stardust

Because Super Training becomes available once Wally captures his Ralts, this method does provide the earliest opportunity to obtain a Dusk Stone. But fully training a Pokémon’s EVs (Effort Values) may require a bit of time and effort.

If you already have a fully-trained Pokémon and are looking for a Dusk Stone, here’s how to unlock the stage which presents it as a reward:

Step 1: Navigate to your PlayNav in the bottom screen. Then find and click the Super Training screen.

Step 2: On the Super Training screen, a radar chart displays your Pokémon’s EV distribution.

If you see that the meter on the right is filled and a muscle icon appears in the top-left of your screen, it means your Pokémon’s total EVs are fully maxed out at 510.

Step 3: Press the green button at the bottom left corner of the screen here.

You’ll see 12 new unlockable Secret Super Training stages, exclusively for fully-trained Pokémon. If you want a chance to obtain a Dusk Stone, you’ll have to unlock the stage “Watch Out! That’s One Tricky Second Half!”

Step 4: Once you complete this stage within the target time, you have a good chance to obtain a Dusk Stone.

Method 2 – Inverse Battle Stop

The Inverse Battle Stop is a unique battle facility operated by a trainer named Inver, where Inverse Battles take place.

Inverse battles are a special type of Pokémon battle in which type matchups are reversed. This makes moves that are usually super effective into becoming not very effective, and vice versa.

Each super-effective move you land in battle earns you a point, while each super-effective move he lands against you causes a one-point deduction. If you can defeat Inver then he’ll reward you with an item based on your score – and one of the items can be a Dusk Stone (this is repeatable).

Scoring between 7 to 9 points gives you a 10% chance of obtaining a Dusk Stone.

Each prize in this pool also has an equal probability (10%) of being awarded. The prize pool for this score range includes the following:

• Fire Stone
• Leaf Stone
• Water Stone
• Thunder Stone
• Sun Stone
• Moon Stone
• Dawn Stone
• Dusk Stone
• Shiny Stone
• Everstone

If you don’t know where the Inverse Battle Stop is, here’s how to get there:

Step 1: Begin at the Pokémon Center in Mauville City. Then head back inside the city’s interior through the entrance on the right.

Step 2: Once inside the city, proceed slightly north and then turn left into the first shop that you see. You’ll find the Inverse Battle Stop here.

Step 3: After entering the facility, talk to Inver to start the challenge. Remember to track your points – you’ll need to accumulate a score between exactly 7-9 to have a chance of obtaining a Dusk Stone.

Method 3 – Rematch with Hex Maniac Valerie

The AreaNav is a feature of the PokéNav Plus, which displays the map of the Hoenn Region. Upon selecting the map you will see various tabs, including the Trainer’s Eye tab.

This tab allows you to locate specific trainers across Hoenn who are ready for a rematch, indicated by a “Battle Ready” sign next to their profile.

Defeating rematchable trainers gives you a small chance of obtaining an item as a reward.

Hex Maniac Valerie is the one trainer in ORAS that has a 5% chance of rewarding you with a Dusk Stone when you beat her in a rematch.

Hex Maniac Valerie can be found inside Mt. Pyre. You can find her on the first floor of the building, and you can request a rematch by speaking to her. Here’s exactly how to find her:

Step 1: Go inside Mt. Pyre’s interior.

Step 2: Once you’re in Mt. Pyre, proceed up a bit then turn left around the room’s center.

Step 3: Keep going west and make your way to the top-left side of the room.

Step 4: When you’re near the stairs you will find Hex Maniac Valerie on your right. Speak with her to start a battle if she’s up for a rematch.

Method 4 – Secret Pal Skill: Pick Up Stones

You have a chance to obtain Dusk Stones by using the “Pick Up Stones” Secret Pal skill, which is one of the features of Super-Secret Bases.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Super-Secret Bases are an upgraded version of the Secret Base feature from the original games.

After making your own Secret Base using TM94 Secret Power, you can customize and share your base with other players.

You can also visit other Secret Bases to interact with other players, challenge them to battles, and if you want, make them one of your Secret Pals. Each Secret Pal can use a special skill once a day; a pal can learn up to four of the ten possible skills:

Dusk Stone Uses

A Dusk Stone is one of the Evolution Stones, which can be used in ORAS to evolve four different Pokémon. Once the evolution process is complete the Dusk Stone is consumed and disappears.

As of Gen 6, the following Pokémon will evolve with a Dusk Stone:
