What does an everstone do?

Question

I'm farely new to breeding and wasn't completely sure what an everstone does. I know it will prevent Pokemon from evolving if held, but you can just press B to stop it anyway. Is there another purpose to an everstone and if so what is it? Please be very descriptive! Thanks!

Answer 1

The Everstone ensures the parent's nature will transfer down to the baby. And also the method you mentioned.
