How to get the metallic coating

If you are regular players of the saga Pokemon, you already know that certain creatures can evolve only through a exchange that, at times, will require having a specific object equipped.

What is it for and how to get the Metallic Coating

However, tracking them is not the only way to get them, since you can also evolve the base version of each Pokémon with the appropriate materials. Considering the number of Poké Stops that each trainer spins every day, there is a chance that you already have the necessary items in your inventory.

Well, one of these objects is the Metallic coating, which in the main Pokémon installments is used to evolve, for example, to Scyther and Onix on Scizor and Steelix respectively. However, in Pokemon go these types of objects are used differently.

In the title of Niantic For mobile devices, the exchange is not necessary to evolve this type of Pokémon, although it is necessary to use the Metallic coating in the cases mentioned above. For this reason, here are the best tips to get hold of this rare evolutionary object below:

• The rate of appearance of evolutionary objects is really low, which implies having to rotate many PokéStops or get pretty lucky. At worst, you would find a Metallic coating on one in 500 PokéStops.
• It is important to take into account the bonuses for spinning PokéStops every day of the week, since at the end of the week you get a considerable increase in the number of objects that you are awarded.
• Finally, if you urgently need the Metallic coating, you can also participate in the GO Fighting League and thus choose to win that object, although the odds are still very low.

Evolve Scyther and Onix in Pokémon GO

In the main series of Pokémon games, the evolution of Scyther into Scizor was a bit weird, just like Onix was in Steelix, and it was necessary not to equip the Metallic Cladding, but also a friend to exchange it.

Evolve Scyther into Scizor

In Pokémon GO things are a little easier. You still need a Metallic Coating, but instead of having to exchange only 50 Candies for Scyther to evolve into Scizor, which can be done from the same menu in-game as you would any other Pokémon with the standard Candy method.

Keep in mind that the Metallic Coating will be consumed in the process, just like the Candy when you evolve normally, so make sure it’s the Pokémon you want to evolve.

Once you have the two necessary items in sufficient quantity, the trick to evolve Scyther to Scizor is that there is no trick– Go to the evolution menu like you would any other, swipe to transform and wait for the change to complete.

Evolve Onix into Steelix

Onix was able to become its second form for the first time in Pokémon Silver, Gold and Crystal, all three of the second generation for Game Boy Color and Advance. Now in the mobile game too, which I couldn’t do before.

As with Scyther, the original method of evolving Onix in traditional games is a bit weird, and again requires both a friend to trade and a Metal Cladding.

Steelix also shares the same method for evolving in Pokémon GO as Scizor. Just get enough Candy, get a Metallic Coating and you can evolve to Onix from the in-game menu. As with Scyther and Scizor, remember that evolving Onix into Steelix will consume the Metallic Cladding, so choose carefully before confirming.

How to get Sinnoh Stone, Upgrade and more

Some of the creatures of Pokemon go, they can only evolve with evolutionary objects. There are six different and each of them is achieved through different methods. We are going to see each one of them (apart from the Metallic Coating) and how to get them.
