Ways to Obtain a Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Learning methods to obtain a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is essential for finalizing your Pokédex, since a pair of particular creatures – Mantis Pokémon and Onix – require this item to transform into Pincer Pokémon and Steelix respectively. Additionally, both of these upgraded types possess mega forms obtainable in the game.

Players have two main ways to acquire a Metal Jacket in PLZA, each of which need considerable campaign advancement. The earliest trainers can get this evolution item is after they reach the C Rank in their quest.


Ways to Get Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Players can use pair of key methods to obtain a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends Z-A: completing specific sub-quests or buying it from Racine Construction. Unfortunately, both options become accessible later on in the story.

Side Missions That Provide Metal Jackets

Players will encounter two certain optional tasks that provide Metal Coats as rewards: Optional Task 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Sub-Quest 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As mentioned earlier, these tasks typically become available during the late-game phase. For example, "Steadfast as Steel" unlocks around Campaign Quest 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" becomes accessible following beating the main story.

It's worth noting that the character for "A Feather from Skarmory" typically can be found near the entryway to Wild Zone 17, though they may vary a bit based on story advancement.

Where to Acquire Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

After trainers complete the story conclusion, they may purchase a Metal Jacket from a vendor inside the construction company location. It's the same place where trainers meet Canari for the Rank E rank battle, located adjacent to the train station and below the Le Nah dining spot. By this stage, this location also turns into a quick travel point.

Once available, a shopkeeper at Racine Construction will offer a Metal Coat for 4980 in-game currency. Fortunately, this vendor offers endless inventory, so trainers can buy as much Metal Jackets as they desire, as long as they can gather enough money.

Essentially, if players are not advanced adequately through the game, they won't manage to get a Metal Jacket just yet.
