You can only obtain Oval Stones by stealing them from wild Happiny. These Pokémon can be found on a specific Mirage Forest and Mirage Mountain, which you can only explore by using the Eon Flute.

The Oval Stone is a held item that, when held by Happiny and leveled up during the day, triggers its evolution into Chansey.

You can only get Oval Stones as held items from wild Happiny. These are also only found in two specific Mirage Spots:

  • Mirage Forest, located west of Route 105
  • Mirage Mountain, located east of Mossdeep City

To reach these areas you have to use your Eon Flute to soar towards the Mirage Spots shown in the map below:

Mirage Spots where you can find wild Happiny: Mirage Forest (Red), Mirage Mountain (Yellow) / Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Mirage Spots where you can find wild Happiny: Mirage Forest (Red), Mirage Mountain (Yellow)

After arriving at either of the Mirage Spots, just look for Happiny in any of the patches of tall grass in the area. Below is a list of all the wild Pokémon you can encounter in each area:

Mirage Forest (West of Route 105)
Wild Pokémon Chance Levels
Happiny 40% 36-38
Forretress 60% 36-38
Mirage Mountain (East of Mossdeep City)
Wild Pokémon Chance Levels
Happiny 30% 36-38
Audino 60% 36-38
Tangela 10% 36-38

When you encounter a wild Happiny, there’s a 50% chance it will be holding an Oval Stone.

By using a Pokémon with TM46 Thief, you can steal the item from it and then flee the battle.

Tip: We also have a separate guide on how to build an optimized team for held item farming, so check that out if you want to farm Oval Stones faster.

Finding a wild Happiny with an Oval Stone isn’t that uncommon. But you can make your job even easier by using the DexNav’s Detector Mode.

Especially considering Happiny’s lower encounter rate in comparison with other Pokémon in both Mirage Spots.

Tip: There’s a 5% chance that Happiny may be holding a Lucky Egg instead of an Oval Stone. A Lucky Egg is a very useful item when raising Pokémon, enabling the holder to gain 50% more EXP from battles.

The Oval Stone is a held item classified as an Evolution Item. It has no effect in battle, but it’s a unique item specifically designed for Happiny’s evolution.

When a Happiny holding an Oval Stone levels up during the daytime, it evolves into Chansey.

After evolving, the Oval Stone is consumed and disappears.
