Unlike other key elements in Pokémon GOTrainers can obtain a Metal Coat in a number of ways. This special item is essential for evolving certain pocket monsters and is a must-have for any player looking to complete their Pokédex. As with other evolution items, such as Shiny Stones or Dragon Scales, it can be difficult to figure out which method is the easiest for obtaining a Metal Coat.
Still, it can be easy to figure it out if you know where to look. In fact, getting a Metal Coat can be easier in this mobile game than in the main series of Nintendo titles. It’s even easier than keeping track of the latest Ditto disguises in Pokémon GO.

In Pokémon GO, evolving Clamperl into Huntail and Gorebyss is easier than trainers might think, but it does require a few attempts.
PokéStops, Gifts & Research
In Pokémon GOa metal coat is a possible reward for Completing 7-day PokéStop streaksOpen a gift from friends in the game, spin PokéStops, and complete seasonal Field Research and Timed Research tasks.
Since an evolution item is a guaranteed reward for one-week PokéStop series, This is the most effective way to get the key element quickly, as there are only a handful of options. However, the next most likely option is to get a Metal Coat as part of a gift, as you can open up to 30 of them in a day – giving you plenty of chances to find one.
While PokéStop Spins can reward Trainers with the item, there is currently only a 1% chance of it being included in each Stop’s rewards. In comparison, the odds are even lower than when a Shiny Kangaskhan appears in its Pokémon GO Mega Raid. In this case, it’s much easier to rely on PokéStop streaks and gifts instead.
Scyther and Onix
Once you have your metal shell, the evolution options in Pokémon GO Are Evolution from Scyther to Scizor or Evolution of Onix to Steelix. To do both, all you need to do is have 50 Scyther or Onix Candy in your inventory, as well as the key item. Then go to the overview page and select the “Evolve” option. Select “Yes” to confirm, and you’ve successfully used your Metal Coat to evolve a Pokémon.
If you don’t have enough candy to trigger evolution, try going with Scyther or Onix as a buddy.
It is as easy as obtaining Sinnoh Stones evolutions in Pokémon GOwhose item can also be obtained in the same ways as described above. If you do the same with other evolution items, your Pokédex will be filled in no time. In this case, however, keep up with PokéStop streaks, open gifts from friends, spin PokéStops, and complete Special Research and Field Research – and you’ll soon have a Metal Coat in your Pokémon GO Inventory.
