Dana can call with Thunderstone, useful for Pikachu or Jolteon before Bill's Kanto reward.

Water Stone

Route 42 - Tully

Tully is the repeatable source for Poliwhirl, Shellder, Staryu, or Vaporeon teams.

Moon Stone

Sun Stone evolves Gloom into Bellossom and Sunkern into Sunflora. In Crystal, the dependable path is first place in the National Park Bug-Catching Contest, reached from the Route 35 or Route 36 gates.

Spend Or Save

Do not spend a scarce stone blindly

Eevee

Choose Jolteon, Vaporeon, or Flareon only after you know the team role. Espeon and Umbreon do not use stones.

Growlithe

Wait until the moves you want are learned, then spend Fire Stone or use Alan for another copy.

Gloom

Leaf Stone gives Vileplume; Sun Stone gives Bellossom. Pick the role before committing.

Pikachu

Thunderstone is available from Dana or Bill's grandfather, but Raichu stops normal Pikachu level-up planning.
