How to Get a Metal Coat in Pokémon GO
Metal Coat can be obtained by spinning Pokéstops. Unfortunately, this item has a very low drop rate, and hence you won’t be able to get your hands on it as easily as you might when getting Pokéballs. In fact, the drop rate can be as low as 1%, requiring you to spin at least 500 times before getting the item.
