How to Get a Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Understanding the way to acquire a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends Z-A is essential for completing your Pokémon Catalog, since a pair of particular Pokémon – Scyther and Onix – require this tool to transform into Pincer Pokémon and Iron Snake respectively. Additionally, both of these advanced forms feature super forms available in the game.

There are two primary ways to get a Steel Cover in PLZA, each of which involve significant story advancement. The first opportunity players can obtain this evolution tool is when they reach C Rank in their adventure.


Methods for Get Metal Coat in PLZA

Trainers can use a couple of main methods to acquire a Metal Coat in PLZA: completing particular side missions or buying it from Racine Construction building. Unfortunately, both methods become obtainable fairly late in the game.

Side Missions That Grant Metal Jackets

Players will encounter two certain sub-quests that provide Metal Jackets as prizes: Optional Task 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Side Mission 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As stated before, these missions normally become available during the endgame portion. For instance, "the steel mission" appears around Campaign Quest 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" unlocks once beating the main story.

It's worth noting that the NPC for "the Skarmory quest" usually is located near the gate to Area 17, though their location might differ a bit based on your progress.

How to Acquire Metal Jacket in PLZA

When players attain the game's credits, they are able to buy a Steel Cover from a seller inside the construction company location. This is the exact place where gamers encounter the character Canari for the Rank E battle test, positioned near Lumiose Station and just south of the Le Nah dining spot. Once unlocked, the building also turns into a fast travel spot.

When unlocked, a vendor at the construction site will sell a Metal Jacket for 4980 in-game currency. Thankfully, this vendor has unlimited stock, which means gamers can acquire as many Metal Coats as they need, assuming they can gather adequate funds.

Basically, if players are still early enough through the game, they won't have the ability to acquire a Steel Cover currently.
