Okay guys, I've been trying this for a while, but I can't seem to find any. I realize they're rare, but how do I go about coveting Metal Coats from Magnemites? Like, what does the game say when I actually manage to get one? I'm confused and frustrated, so any help would be appreciated.

I believe the percentage of finding a Metal Coat on a Magnemite is something like 5%. it increases on a Magneton though I believe. I remember when I managed to catch a Modest Nature Magneton and find out a Metal Coat was attached. However, the other way is Trainer Tower.

Crud... I just looked it up in the Psydex, and apparently they only have metal coats in RSE, not FRLG. Thanks anyway. So, then, I have a different question. Is there any way to get a Metal Coat besides the Trainer Tower? Or, if I get better times there, can I do it twice and get two? *I want to evolve both Onix and Scyther... Grr*

There's another Metal Coat on Five Island by Memorial Pillar. To the side of the smaller island with the memorial is an inlet which has a Metal Coat. You can't get extra Trainer Tower ones though.

Ah, yes! I was hoping I'd be able to evolve both of them! Thanks!
