On its face, this is definitely one of the more complicated evolution methods the game has given us so far. The special item in question is not just an evolution power-up like a sun stone or what have you, but an entirely different item with an ostensibly different purpose. If you see a special lure active on your map, it gives you a reason to get up and check it out. But I'm actually sort of coming around to the way it's working.
