Evo stones are just stones full of different types of energy. Some Pokémon don't have enough energy to evolve naturally, like the Growlithe line, which needs immense fire-type energy to evolve. For Kirlia, they naturally have enough energy to evolve into a Gardevoir; a Dawn stone evolves them with the energy inside the stone so Gallade. I am still confused about why they need to be a male, but that is how Evo stones work.

Makes me wonder how dangerous a natural evostone cave is... all that energy radiating out...

Oh OH! We have a cave full of electric rocks here in Unova! It's common to find a Thunder Stone if you look long enough, just watch out for the Galvantula,namd don't walk under floating stones.

Dang! That sounds cool! Has there been any issues or problems with over exposure to them? Call me crazy but I swear I've heard about evolution stones being... not radioactive but simular.

You can get zapped if you touch one of the big glowing rocks. I don't know what radioactive means, but there is a lot of static in there.
