Special evolutionary items
Since these items were introduced I got 2 right out of the gate (2 Metal Coats) and a third (King Rock) a day or two later. Since then, I have not received ANY nor. I know they are crazy rare, but does anyone know if their is some secret/magic way to get them? A secret way of hitting pokestops or such?

No tricks, they're just rare.
I've gotten 4 (1 metal coat first 7-day - I think everyone got one their first 7-day after gen2), a sunstone (can't use - nothing ready, and even if I had the oddish candies, I couldn't justify using them on a useless bellossum - I'm desperate for more grass offense), king's rock, and upgrade.
Sounds like you're due - spin more stops. I didn't get any on my 1st 7-day spin, although many ppl think the drop rate was higher in the first few days of Gen2. Been totally random AFAICS - I've gotten an item right after a streak spin (4th day as I recall) and a couple with various streak spins, but mostly just with normal spins. My habit as a suburban player is to max my items, then every few days spend an hour or more in a pokestop-dense park, just walking and spinning to refill - typically have to dump pokeballs or potions at that time so I can have a good ratio of items.
