Pokémon Adventures
Yellow arc
In The Kindest Tentacruel, the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman told Yellow about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of Vermilion Harbor, housing a set of Evolution stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of Red's Poliwhirl's evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild Tentacruel, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that Giovanni had given them to Red so he could freely evolve and devolve his Eevee.
Black & White arc
In Triple Threat, Cilan, Chili, and Cress used a Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, and Water Stone to evolve their Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour into Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour, respectively, during their battle against the Shadow Triad.
Pokémon Battle Frontier
A Fire Stone appeared in Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden, where Enta received one from Rald. He used it on his Vulpix, evolving it into Ninetales.

A Fire Stone is featured in the artwork of several TCG cards from the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series: HeartGold & SoulSilver Arcanine, HeartGold & SoulSilver Ninetales, and Undaunted Flareon, as well as the Call of Legends prints of Ninetales and Flareon.
Trivia
- Through a glitch in the Generation I games, Pokémon that would normally require an Evolution stone to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle. In the case of the Fire Stone, this Pokémon is Missingno. (index number 32).
- In Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, if the player tries to give their partner Eevee a Fire Stone, they will not accept it, and therefore, will not evolve. The same thing will happen if the player attempts to give them a Thunder Stone or a Water Stone.
