Huh. That's interesting to know, actually...

I guess I could take Alexei to the department store so he can see the stone for himself. I sort of did that with Katya when she was getting close to evolving. It was a bit selfish of me to give her an Everstone so she wouldn't evolve but she seems happy with my choice. She's far cuter as a Joltik and is the perfect travel size.
