The Metal Coat is a versatile item in Cobblemon, primarily used for evolving specific Pokémon and boosting the power of Steel-type moves by 20%. This guide will cover how to obtain and craft the Metal Coat, as well as its uses in evolving Pokémon and enhancing Steel-type attacks.
Obtaining Metal Coat
Crafting
The Metal Coat can be crafted using the following materials:
- Iron Ingot (x6)
- Clay Ball (x2)
- Honeycomb (x1)
Here’s how to arrange these ingredients in the crafting grid:
- Place three Iron Ingots in the top row.
- Place two Clay Balls in the middle row, on the left and right slots, with the Honeycomb in the center.
- Place three Iron Ingots in the bottom row.
This crafting recipe will yield one Metal Coat, which can then be used for either evolving Pokémon or boosting Steel-type moves.
Drops
Metal Coats can also be obtained as drops from specific Pokémon. Below is a list of Pokémon that can drop a Metal Coat along with their drop rates and quantities:
- Magnemite: 2.5% drop rate, 1 Metal Coat
- Magneton: 5% drop rate, 1 Metal Coat
- Steelix: 10% drop rate, 1 Metal Coat
- Magnezone: 10% drop rate, 1 Metal Coat
- Corviknight: 10% drop rate, 1 Metal Coat
Usage of Metal Coat
Evolving Pokémon
The Metal Coat is essential for evolving two specific Pokémon:
- Scyther to Scizor: Scyther evolves into Scizor when traded while holding a Metal Coat.
- Onix to Steelix: Onix evolves into Steelix when traded while holding a Metal Coat.
In both cases, the Metal Coat is consumed during the evolution process. If you're using a link cable instead of trading, the same evolution can be achieved.
Boosting Steel-type Moves
Aside from its role in evolution, the Metal Coat also functions as a held item that boosts the power of the holder's Steel-type moves by 20%. This makes it a valuable item for any Steel-type Pokémon, enhancing their effectiveness in battle.
Conclusion
The Metal Coat is a key item in Cobblemon, serving both as a means to evolve certain Pokémon and as a way to enhance the power of Steel-type moves. Whether you craft it or obtain it through drops, having a Metal Coat in your inventory is essential for any trainer looking to strengthen their Steel-type Pokémon or complete their Pokédex.
