Hey gamers from all around the world! GeekGamer here, and today I’m tackling one of the most confusing topics on the internet about Pokémon GO—those elusive evolution items. Specifically, we’re talking about… How to get Metal Coat in Pokémon GO?
What is Metal Coat?
Metal Coat is a versatile item across various Pokémon games, serving as both an evolution item and a booster for Steel-type moves. It’s represented as a metallic gray flask in every Pokémon game it appears in.
In Pokémon GO, its sole purpose is evolutionary, specifically to evolve Scyther into Scizor and Onix into Steelix.
So… How Do You Get Metal Coat?
There are a few methods (really, the only ones for now, lol) you’ll need to try to increase your chances of getting this valuable item. Remember, even though these methods are tried and true, the odds of getting a Metal Coat aren’t very high.
- Spin PokéStops and Gyms: Even the most novice Pokémon GO player knows how to do this. However, it’s unlikely you’ll get a Metal Coat by just spinning a few PokéStops. So, you’ll need to repeat this action with many PokéStops and/or Gyms. The more you spin, the better your chances of getting the item.
- 7-Day Streak Reward: If you spin at least one PokéStop every day for seven days, you’ll receive exclusive rewards. With a bit of luck, you might score a Metal Coat.
- Complete Research Tasks: There are research tasks in Pokémon GO that can reward you with evolution items, including the coveted Metal Coat. Keep an eye out for tasks that could offer these kinds of items.
- Open Gifts from Friends: Unless you’re a bit of a loner (like GeekGamer), having lots of friends in the game can help you get a Metal Coat faster. Just make sure to regularly open the gifts your friends send you, and you’ll increase your chances.
- Special Events: Niantic occasionally hosts events where it’s easier to get Metal Coats. That’s why it’s always good to stay informed about upcoming events in Pokémon GO.
Important Tips
- Increase your chances of getting this item by playing regularly, ideally daily.
- Don’t use the Metal Coat unless you’re sure you want to evolve a specific Pokémon (Onix or Scyther).
- Remember, Metal Coat is a limited resource, so use it wisely.
In short, what you really need to get a Metal Coat is a lot of patience and persistence. These two things will make your search much more comfortable. Good luck, Pokémon Trainer!
