Ways to Get a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Learning the way to acquire a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is crucial for finalizing your Pokémon Catalog, since couple of certain monsters – Scyther and Rock Snake – require this tool to develop into Scizor and Steelix correspondingly. Additionally, both those evolved versions possess super types obtainable in the game.

Players have two main ways to get a Metal Coat in PLZA, the two of which involve significant main quest development. The first opportunity gamers can get this evolution item is once they achieve Rank C in their adventure.


How to Obtain Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Trainers can use pair of main ways to obtain a Metal Jacket in PLZA: finishing certain side missions or purchasing it from Racine Construction building. Sadly, both approaches become obtainable relatively late in the game.

Sub-Quests That Reward Metal Jackets

There are two specific sub-quests that offer Metal Coats as rewards: Optional Task 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Sub-Quest 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As mentioned before, these quests normally become available during the late-game phase. For example, "Steadfast as Steel" appears around Campaign Quest 35, while "the Skarmory quest" becomes accessible once completing the central questline.

Keep in mind that the character for "A Feather from Skarmory" usually can be found near the entrance to Wild Zone 17, though their location might differ a bit based on game progress.

Places to Buy Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

After trainers have reached the game's credits, they may purchase a Metal Coat from a vendor inside the Racine Construction site. This is the exact building where gamers encounter Canari for the Rank E promotion battle test, located near the train station and below the Le Nah dining spot. Once unlocked, Racine Construction also functions as a teleportation spot.

After becoming accessible, a seller at the construction site will sell a Steel Cover for 4980 Pokédollars. Fortunately, this vendor offers endless inventory, so trainers can buy as much Metal Coats as they want, assuming they have sufficient money.

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