Technically, it could evolve while it was attacking with the stone.
Exactly! There's so many ways they could have developed the story. Say maybe it fires an attack and it gets caught off guard and evolved. That'll be cute!
Since it was still holding an Everstone, it physically couldn't evolve. I don't really mind that Rowlet didn't evolve. While I think it started off the series promising, it spent the bulk of SM just sleeping and being treated like a gag Pokemon. Then the writers attempted to make up for that by giving it a bunch of new moves near the end, but that just felt forced and some of its victories later on were pretty bad too. If they wanted Rowlet to evolve, then it should have been used more than just a gag Pokemon and its sleeping should have been treated as a problem to overcome.
Exactly. Evolving it would have made it less of a gag pokemon.
