Metal Coat

[Kaizokuou]

Can someone tell me if the metal coat is in the game yet? I have a Scyther and I really want a Scizor but I don't know how to get the metal coat.

Yes you can, a Magnemite has a chance to hold one when caught.

Best way to do that is to look for Magnemites on Route 38 and/or Route 39 (20% chance encounter). The chances of a Magnemite holding a Metal Coat is either 8% or 5% (depends on which generation this game's item rates are based off of). So your grand total chance of finding a Magnemite with a Metal Coat is 1% (Generation II's mechanics) or 1.6% (All other Generation mechanics).

Not added yet (just the entrance and the model). Most likely next version on Tuesday. If you're not willing to grind for Magnemites then you can wait for the update (where the Metal Coat will hopefully be implemented on the S.S Aqua.)

Yea, early updates are usually only bug fixes. Then again, I used the word usually.

The files say 5%.

Alrighty, so that means Pokémon 3D probably uses the most recent Generation as a staple for the encounter mechanics.
