Bug making me always get the same evolve item?

I recently started playing again, and for some reason I only get metal coats.

I've gotten 10 metal coats now (discarded 8 of them), and have never gotten any of the other gen2 evolve items. Not a single one.

Worse, I only have 46 onyx and scyther candy, so I can't even use the metal coats. I have more then enough candy for all of the other evolves, but never get those items.

Has anyone experienced this? Will I get the other items if I use up the metal coats (do I need to walk onyx/scyther to get those last candies)? I can't believe it's actually luck to get metal coat 10x in a row without anything else. Statistically it's basically impossible...

Well it's expect to occur around 1 every 1 million players. Not impossible. Surely Niantic has several million players.

Actually, the chance of getting the same evolution item 10x in sequence is 1 in 1,953,125. Seems like you wasted your luck in this...

At least Scizor and Steelix are pretty useful. Getting only Sun Stones would be worse.

I guess the small niche where you'd want Sun Stones is if you've been riddled with a nearby Sunkern nest and want to evolve them for exp.

You can still use Sun Stones in the future, King's Rock should be the most irrelevant since the evolutions are outclassed quite heavily.
