The recent update brought to "Pokemon Go" special items that players are not familiar with. In order for you to be able to obtain and use these special items, check out our latest guide.

How To Get Special Items

Niantic brought over 80 new Pokemon in the game. For players to catch them, they must use these new "Pokemon Go" special items that were introduced recently. These new items are also called evolution items.

The only way to obtain these New "Pokemon Go" Special items, according to BGR, is to pay a visit to PokeStops and spin the Photo Discs. The items appear randomly and getting a new item or not is entirely a matter of chance. There is no guaranteed way to get the evolution items that you want. The only thing that you can do is to keep spinning Photo Discs until it appears.

How To Use The Special Items

The new "Pokemon Go" special items are only applicable to a certain kind of Pokemon. One special item called Dragon Scale will evolve Seadra into a Kingdra. You still need Horsea to evolve into a Seadra by using 100 candies. The Dragon Scale has no use unless Seadra is in your lineup.

Another "Pokemon Go" special item is King's Rock. This evolution item is effective on Poliwhirl and Slowpoke. With the King's Rock, Poliwhirl will evolve into a Politoed instead of becoming a Poliwrath. However, similar to the Kingdra, you should first evolve Poliwag into a Poliwhirl prior to using the item. Slowpoke will evolve into a Slowking with the use of King's rock instead of evolving into a Slowbro, says Eurogamer.

Scyther evolves into Scizor for 50 candies with the use of "Pokemon Go" special item known as Metal Coat. It can also evolve Onix into Steelix for 50 candies. Another evolution item is the Sun Stone. This new "Pokemon Go" special item evolves Gloom into Bellossom with 100 candies instead of Vileplume. It can also evolve Sunkern into Sunflora for 50 candies.
