Anyone who doesn't want to do this trade method you can find a wild roaming steelix at level 50-60

[posonvyy]

and here I was giving my Onix a hella ton of XP candies and doing like 10 max raids 🙄 ugh what a waste but at least it’s a high lvl

[mimicmage]

I got a metal coat from capturing a Bronzor in that wild field close to where the steelix appears, it was holding the item

[slidebeats]

He grew 2 feet and gained 400+ pounds he sound like me in high school

[LanxPenzenpepper]

It's is really annoying that you have to even trade... They completely cut off full solo players solely for gimmick...

[fshygamer]

I found a shiny onix and I only have one switch😭

[raudelorozco]

Don’t worry guys just you can just find steelix In the wild 👍

[Giablo]

I dont understand, so will you need someone to trade with and trade it back to you, or can you do it yourself?

[zalm]

But wont you lose your onix if you trade it with someone?

[Sbnoahvr]

Thanks 🙏 this helped a lot I had a level 100 onix and I still couldn’t evolve it. But now I know how

[erjjjju]

Wait so you have to lose it to evolve it

[euan]

Hey north, how do i evolve piloswine into mamoswine seeming as it doesnt seem to learn ancient power

[SnickersBarJamal]

@nirth Can u plz make a video on how and where 2 find oddish.. I can't believe how long I've been searching for him all over the lower half of the wild area with no luck. Thx.

MY ONIX IS LEVEL 67 AND IS STILL HASN’T EVOLVES I USED ALL MY MEDIUM CANDIES 🍭 ON IT TO LIKE WTF THANK YOU

[jowxo]

Wait I don’t understand do u trade the Pokémon or do you trade another Pokémon to evolve a Pokémon

[jtbSen]

Man how did you get it so quick? I had to do soooo many digs

[Desalala]

SOS can this be done using Pokémon home?? Tried it with someone by giving my onix the metal coat and transferring it via Pokémon home, but when he received my onix it wasn’t holding anything and was still just an onix... afraid I lost my metal coat now and don’t know where I’d get another

[Dokirama]

You are so lucky dude I try using 7000 w and still nothing good

[javierjaramillo]

Can you evolve a pokemon in pokemon home so that way you can trade and store your pokemon?
