I have a Metal Coat and a lvl 23 Onix.
I know it has to be traded, but I was wondering if there was anyway around that.
Like, when I trade a Bellsprout for it with Kyle, would that count as a "trade"?
[never used in-game trade much]
(yes, i know i answered my own question, but i wanted to elaborate)
No, not in the series. To make an Onix evolve you trade it while it's holding metal coat.
Onix doesn't evolve through leveling. But, make him hold a Steel Coat, and he will evolve into a Steelix!
there is no level for onix to evolve it will evolve if u trade it to another game make sure it holds a metal coat or it will not evolve
Put Metal Coat on it and then trade it.
the way you can evolve an onix is by letting it hold a metal coat and trading it to a friend and then making them trade it back onix evolves when your trade parterner receives onix.
Onix doesn't evolve at a level. You have to give it the item 'Steel Coat' and trade it to make it evolve into Steelix. Or just catch a steelix at Victory Road using dusk balls
Onix does not evolve at any level. If traded while holding a Metal Coat in Pokemon Gold or later, it will evolve into Steelix.You can't evolve an Onix by leve.l You have to let Onix hold Metal Coat and trade it, then it will evolve into Steelix.
Yes, you can. If the Onix is holding a metal coat, it will not prevent you from trading it, and the recipient will receive a Steelix (because Onix being traded with a metal coat will make it evolve into a Steelix).
Onix evolves while being traded to someone else, holding a Metal Coat.
You have to make the following Pokemon hold the metal cloak and then trade them: Onix = Steelix Scyther = Scizor
Keep trading and make sure its holding a metal coat. it might take a few tries.
steelixok get an onix and train till lvl 50 then trade with your friend that has a onix and trade then ur onix will evolve in to a steelix NOO!! YOU MAKE IT HOLD THE METAL COAT THEN TRADE.You don't need it to be level 50 (I have one lvl 15)To evolve a steelix you need to attach a metal coat, which you can obtain on memorial pillar on island 5, then trade the onix to your friend then trade it back and theres your onix.
