Where to find Sun Stone to evolve a Pokémon?

The specific location to find Pokémon varies depending on the Pokémon game and the version you are playing.
For instance, if you are playing Pokémon Sword and Shield and you want to evolve Gloom, you can find the Sun Stone in Lake 🌊 of Outrange or on Route 7 with the Digging Brothers.
To get the Sun Stone in the Lake of Outrange, you need to traverse the Wild area, looking for a body of water on the left side with a Watt Trader standing nearby.
When you get to the body of water, go across it using your Rotom Bike that has been upgraded from Route 9.
Avoiding the Gyarados, search under the stones in the circle, and one of them might be a Sun Stone.
