Metal Coat is an evolution item in Pokemon Go that can help you obtain Scizor or Steelix. Here’s how to get a Metal Coat in Pokemon Go.

Pokemon like Scyther and Onix can be evolved into Scizor and Steelix with a Metal Coat in Pokemon Go. If you still don’t have one, check out our guide on how to get a Metal Coat in Pokemon Go.

Evolutions in Pokemon Go can be tricky at times. While a majority of Pokemon only need candies to evolve, some require special items like a Sinnoh Stone, Upgrade, Dragon Scale, or Metal Coat, among others.

It is no surprise that unlocking special evolution items in Pokemon Go is a lot harder than collecting candies unless you wish to evolve a super rare Pokemon.

On that note, here’s how to get a Metal Coat in Pokemon Go and unlock the likes of Scizor and Steelix.

You can get a Metal Coat in Pokemon Go as a reward for spinning Pokestops seven days in a row. At the end of your seven-day streak, you get a bunch of rewards which include an evolution item.

Having said that, getting a Metal Coat from the rewards is not guaranteed. You might have to settle for a Dragon Scale, King’s Rock, Sun Stone, or Upgrade. These items are also valuable for evolving certain Pokemon like Slowpoke and Horsea, but they’re useless if your goal is to get a Scizor or an Onix.

While maintaining a seven-day Pokestop streak is the most reliable method to get a Metal Coat, there are some other methods as well:

There’s a 1% chance of obtaining a Metal Coat or any other evolution item in Pokemon Go by spinning Pokestops and Gyms. The odds might change once you’ve spun Pokestops 250 times but even then, it’s not guaranteed that the evolution item you get will be a Metal Coat.

Certain Field Research tasks in Pokemon Go hand out the Metal Coat as a reward upon completion. It is wise to constantly check the available tasks from the binocular icon on the bottom-right of the screen as one of them might be giving a Metal Coat.

The developers often release Special Research tasks during events and they are arguably the best opportunity for you to get a Metal Coat for your Pokemon.

Last but not least, you can get a Metal Coat in Pokemon Go through Gifts from your friends. Even though this is entirely random and based on luck, it is always better to have as many friends as possible. While you might not get a Metal Coat from the gifts, you can enjoy trading Lucky Pokemon with your Best Friends.

Metal Coat is an evolution item in Pokemon Go that you can use while evolving Onix or Scyther. Here’s how it works:

Considering the rarity of the Metal Coat, you might end up in a situation where you can only get a Scizor or a Steelix. Which means you’ll have to use it wisely.

Here’s everything you need to know about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as they get set to usher in generation nine of the iconic franchise.

The ninth generation of Pokemon will debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and fans are excited for it to hit the Nintendo Switch. Here’s a look at everything Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will deliver before its highly anticipated release.

The Pokemon Company have been spoiling fans of the legendary franchise over the past couple of years with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as well as Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Thankfully for Pokemon enthusiasts, the fun is far from over as the Pokemon Company get set to release a brand-new mainline Pokemon adventure with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will deliver the ninth generation of Pokemon following 2019’s Pokemon Sword and Shield. Here’s everything you need to know about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet including the release date and gameplay details.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be available on the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022. This is the official date of the worldwide release, so fans across the globe can enjoy the new region on day one.

Players can pre-order or purchase a digital or physical version of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Meanwhile, a double pack with both versions included will also be available to players who truly want to discover everything that Scarlet and Violet have to offer.

Thanks to a Pokemon Presents trailer on August 3, a ton of new details concerning Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were shared with fans of the franchise. The Paldea region seems like a coastal area with tons of color.

Players will be able to explore just about every type of landscape from lakes, to mountains, to frozen tundras. You can expect to encounter a wide variety of Pokemon across the region’s diverse environment.

Past regions have often been inspired by real-world countries like France and Japan, and this time players believe that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s region is akin to Spain.

In Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, players will have the opportunity to experience three separate journeys. Given the open world nature of the game, they can tackle the three stories in any order they desire.

The first story contains the traditional Gym challenge that most players will be familiar with. Your goal will be to take on all of Paldea’s Gyms and eventually achieve the rank of Champion.

The second story will place players on the Path of Legends as you search for rare ingredients called Herba Mystica. These Herba Mystica are guarded by Titan Pokemon, which you’ll have to defeat in battle. Titan Pokemon are much bigger than their traditional counterparts.

Lastly, you’ll have the chance to head to Starfall Street where you’ll take on a group of troubled delinquents called Team Star. A Pokemon game is not without its notorious evil group and Team Star awaits you in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

As with every new mainline Pokemon game, players will begin their adventure by selecting one of three starter Pokemon. Starter Pokemon are the faces of the new region and this time players will be introduced to Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Fuecoco (left to right).

In addition to these three starter Pokemon, players will also have the chance to catch a ton of brand-new Pokemon. New Pokemon such as Lechonk have already made a strong impression on the fan base.

So far, sixteen new Pokemon have been revealed, but players can expect many more including the new evolutions or regional variants for Pokemon from other regions like Paldean Wooper.

Another new feature coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be the inclusion of two professors. If you’re playing Scarlet you’ll meet Professor Sada (left), while Professor Turo (right) will be at the forefront of Violet.

While Pokemon Sword and Shield introduced players to open world sections called wild areas, Scarlet and Violet will be a completely open world experience. This means you can work your way through the game in any order and take on challenges at your own pace.

This will mark a new chapter for the Pokemon franchise as they look to revolutionize gameplay and provide new experiences for long-time fans. You’ll be free to explore the new region in all its glory without feeling blocked by in-game borders.

In order to get around Paldea, Miraidon and Koraidon will offer their services as your partner. These Legendary Pokemon can traverse the ground, air, and water, giving you maximum exploration possibilities.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will also support four-player co-op, but it remains to be seen what this new feature will entail in terms of gameplay apart from the obvious inclusion of Raid Battles. We’ll keep you posted on what to expect from this new adventure as more information arises.

Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet can Terastallize during battle. This shining and glimmering occurrence will grant Pokemon with a major stat boost making them extremely powerful in battle.

Another result of Terastallization is the potential to change a Pokemon’s type thanks to a new concept called Tera types. Each Pokemon will have a traditional type and a Tera type. When a Pokemon Terastallizes, they adopt their Tera type. The Tera type can differ from the Pokemon’s traditional type which opens the door to new battling strategies.

FIFA 23 will feature more leagues, teams, and stadiums than ever before, so we’ve broken down each new one right here.

FIFA 23 is gearing up to be the biggest year of EA’s football franchise to date, with more official licenses than ever before. Here’s every new league, team, and stadium we know about so far.

Following the news that EA and football’s main governing body are ending their relationship after nearly 30 years, FIFA 23 is set to be last the game to feature FIFA branding before the series is rebranded as EA Sports FC.

But before we move into the new era of EA Sports’ football games, FIFA 23 is looking to go out with a bang. This year is set to offer players the most official licenses ever from the real sport, including some of the world’s best players, across both Career Mode and Ultimate Team.

Here’s every new league, team, and stadium we know about in FIFA 23 so far.

FIFA 23 is set to bring plenty of new leagues into the mix, with women’s football taking center stage more than ever before.

Domestic leagues are set to be playable for the very first time. International sides were first introduced back in FIFA 16, but the representation of the women’s game hasn’t really kicked on in the games since.

Thankfully, it appears that EA is looking to rectify that in FIFA 23, as well as adding some other leagues from the men’s game. Known FIFA leaker Donk Trading has claimed that the Vanarama National League, the fifth division in England, will also feature.

Here’s every new league we know about so far. Leaked leagues are marked in bold:

It’s worth noting that while FIFA 23 is adding exciting new leagues, both the Japanese J-League and Mexican Liga BBVA MX will be leaving the roster this time around.

🚨 The English 5th Division in #FIFA23 • Clubs have been added 📚 • Not confirmed yet ❌ This happened last year and we never saw it in the final game. It’s clearly in the plans but for when we do not know.

EA have started to make formal announcements about new teams showing up in FIFA 23, and they have confirmed that Juventus will be making their return to the series.

Juventus’ exclusive deal with Konami to appear in eFootball has ended, meaning the Serie A side will be in FIFA 23 with the proper name, kits, and stadium.

On top of that, following the news that World Cup 2022 content is on the way, it’s safe to assume that all of the international teams that have qualified for the tournament will feature. This means a handful of African countries that were missing previously will be added.

Here are all of the new teams that are expected to be in FIFA 23 so far:

While having the official kits and badges is nice, it’s arguably the recreated stadiums that do the heaviest lifting in terms of making FIFA feel immersive. Whether it’s as your home ground in FUT or an away day in Career, stepping out onto an iconic pitch is hard to beat.

Every year, EA adds more and more famous venues for fans to play at, including the homes of any newly promoted teams in leagues that have full licensing – like the English Premier League.

FIFA 23 will also see some stadiums return following a few years away from the series after they were snatched away by eFootball in exclusive partnerships.

Thanks to a new and improved partnership with MLS, you can expect more American stadiums than ever in FIFA 23. So far, only LA FC’s Banc of California Stadium has been revealed, but more MLS stadiums should follow suit.

We’ll be updating this page regularly in the months leading up to FIFA 23’s launch, so be sure to check back in to see the latest new leagues, teams, and stadiums.

Apex Legends Season 14 is here, but which Legends are dominating Season 14 of Respawn’s battle royale so far?

Season 14 of Apex Legends has tons of characters to choose from to enjoy its several maps. But who has the top Season 14 pick rates in Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter?

Apex Legends hit the ground running when it launched with eight different characters to choose from in its battle royale offering. The game suffered a notable lull when Call of Duty: Warzone launched, but with many popular streamers such as NICKMERCS and Dr Disrespect continuing to support the game, Apex has grown expeditiously.

There are now a whopping 22 different Legends to choose from, giving players a headache before each game. With Season 14 now here, the new Legend Vantage has already knocked some fan-favorite characters out of the running.

Let’s see how the current roster’s pick rates are looking to give us an idea of the most popular Legends in Apex Legends Season 14.

This is our complete list of every character pick in Apex Legends, and we’ve ranked them in order to let you know which are favored.

Here is every Apex Legends pick rate in Season 14 ranked, as of September 9, 2022, according to Apex Legends Status:

The brand-new Legend Vantage takes the number five spot in the Apex Legends Season 14. With a 7% pick rate, Vantage sits behind the top Legends such as Wraith and Pathfinder.

Vantage’s incredible popularity is probably due to her being new, but she’s not to be trifled with either. Her Sniper Rifle is an incredibly strong weapon, she’s able to wall run, and has a direct counter to Mirage.

How her pick rate will change throughout Season 14 remains to be seen, but she’s well-worth using on the overhauled Kings Canyon.

Again, with the influx of new Apex Legends players, Bloodhound is a great character to use for new players in Season 14.

Bloodhound nearly always stays in and around the 8-11% mark as the seasons go on, and they have dropped slightly to 8.3%. Don’t let that put you off though, as they are easily the top Recon class to use in Apex Legends thanks to their tracking tools and incredible skills, plus, their Beast of the Hunt Ultimate is priceless.

Pathfinder has consistently been one of Apex Legends’ top five picks at 8.8%, and counting, for quite some time now.

As a Recon class, Pathfinder simply excels in movements and traversing the game’s various maps. His Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun are simply invaluable assets that will help any team in a pinch – either because of the circle or a third-party situation. He consistently manages to stay in the top 5 as a result.

Another starting Legend, Wraith has been a consistent pick throughout Apex Legends’ lifetime, and she has taken the number two spot with a 9.7% pick rate in Season 14.

Wraith’s stand-out features are her ability to get out of trouble very quickly – teammates included. Her abilities allow her to sense danger, become temporarily invulnerable, and create portals to escape predicaments. It’s easy to see why Wraith continues to be an absolute fan favorite in Apex Legends Season 14.

With a 10.6% pick rate, the speed demon has taken the number one spot, continuing his reign as one of the most popular Legends in Season 14, fluctuating between the top two places.

Aside from his amusing quips, he is the perfect balance of offense and defense. Despite being regarded as an offensive Legend, Octane can greatly increase his sprint speed which is useful for both attack and running away.

But most Octane users thrive on his Launch Pad Ultimate which can send him, and friendly players, high up into the air.

That covers all the picks in Apex Legends Season 14. As always, buffs and nerfs will come and go throughout the season, altering the game’s meta, and subsequently, Legend pick rates.

We’ll be sure to keep this updated regularly so you can stay on top of the in picks and don’t forget to check out everything we know about Apex Legends Season 15, including the release date and Legend.
