There are three ways that give you a chance to get a Metal Coat in Pokémon Go –
1. PokeStops & Gyms
Metal Coat in Pokémon Go can be obtained by spinning nearby PokéStops and Gyms. However, keep your expectations in check as the drop rate is quite low. It’s been reported that players have a 1% chance to receive Metal Coat through this way. You will have to spin a number of PokeStops before finally getting the item. If you use an autocatcher, it can help by automatically spinning PokeStops while you play, increasing your chances of finding Metal Coat.
2. Gifts
Another way to get Metal Coat is by opening gifts in Pokemon Go. Players can open up to 20 Gifts per day, but the chances of receiving an item remain quite low. Even if you don’t get Metal Coat, gifts can still give you valuable resources like PokéBalls, berries, potions, and other useful items.
3. Weekly Streaks
Currently, one of the best ways to obtain Metal Coat in Pokémon Go is by completing the 7-Day Poké Stop streak. To do this, you need to spin at least one PokeStop every day for seven consecutive days. On the final day, you will receive a bunch of rewards. Although Metal Coat isn’t a guarantee, the chances of getting one are quite high compared to other methods.
Once you obtain Metal Coat, it can be used along with the required Candy to evolve Onix into Steelix and Scyther into Scizor. These are currently the only two Pokémon in Pokémon Go that need the Metal Coat evolution item.
Which Other Evolution Items Should You Prioritize in Pokémon Go?

Aside from the Metal Coat, there are eleven evolution items in Pokémon Go. This can make managing all of them a bit tricky, especially since they take up Item Storage. Due to this, players often wonder which evolution items are worth holding onto and which ones can be safely discarded
One evolution item you should always prioritise is the Sinnoh Stone. Many different Pokémon in the game will need this item for evolution, including the likes of Rhydon, Magmar, Aipom, Murkrow, Gligar, Kirlia, and others. It’s generally a good idea to keep around 20-30 Sinnoh Stones in your inventory.
Another important evolution item is the Unova Stone. Similar to the Sinnoh Stone, it’s necessary if you want to evolve multiple Pokémon, such as Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Munna, and others. Keeping 10-15 Unova Stones in your inventory should be more than enough.
