Can you evolve Petilil into Hisuian Lilligant in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Answered

Petilil is a grass-type Pokémon that was originally introduced in the fifth generation of games alongside its evolution, Lilligant. Its importance returned in Pokémon: Legends Arceus when its evolution received a regional variation in the form of Hisuian Lilligant. Just like any other game where Petilil is featured, you can evolve it into Lilligant using a Sun Stone.

This is the same for Hisuian Lilligant, though this can only be done if the player is in the Huisui region. Considering this, you are unable to evolve Peilil into Hisuian Lilligant when you are in the region of Paldea. So, how can you acquire a Hisuian Lilligant in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
