Evolve Scyther by Trading while Holding Metal Coat

Scyther will evolve into Scizor by trading it to another player while it is holding Metal Coat.

Have your Scyther hold Metal Coat and trade it with a friend to evolve it into Scizor. We recommend doing this with someone you trust as your partner will need to trade the Pokemon back to you once it evolves.
