The Metal Coat (Japanese: メタルコート Metal Coat) is a type of held item introduced in Generation II. It allows Onix and Scyther to evolve into Steelix and Scizor, respectively, and also increases the power of the holder's Steel-type moves.

Effect
Held item
In battle
Generations II and III
Increases the power of Steel-type moves used by the holder by 10%.
Generation IV onward
Increases the power of Steel-type moves used by the holder by 20%.
Outside battles
Causes Onix to evolve into Steelix when traded while holding it; causes Scyther to evolve into Scizor when traded while holding it. This consumes the Metal Coat. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, due to the absence of held items, the Metal Coat simply needs to be used on Onix or Scyther to trigger the evolution, though the item is still consumed.
