Metal Coat
The Metal Coat is a significant evolution item within the Cobblemon server, primarily known for its dual purpose. This item is pivotal if you're looking to evolve specific Pokémon. When Scyther holds a Metal Coat and is traded or connected via a link cable, it transforms into a Scizor. Similarly, Onix evolves into Steelix under the same conditions. Not only does the Metal Coat serve as an evolution catalyst, but it also enhances battle tactics by boosting the power of the holder's Steel-type moves by 20%.
