How to Acquire a Metal Coat in PLZA

Knowing the way to obtain a Steel Cover in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is important for finalizing your Pokédex, since a pair of specific Pokémon – Scyther and Onix – require this tool to develop into Scizor and Steelix in turn. Furthermore, both these evolved forms have mega versions obtainable in the game.

There are two key methods to obtain a Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the two of which involve substantial main quest progress. The soonest gamers can get this evolutionary item is once they attain the C Rank in their journey.


Ways to Get Metal Jacket in PLZA

Players have two primary methods to obtain a Metal Coat in PLZA: undertaking particular side missions or purchasing it from the construction company. Regrettably, both options become accessible later on in the adventure.

Optional Tasks That Provide Metal Jackets

You can find two particular side missions that offer Metal Jackets as compensation: Optional Task 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Sub-Quest 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As stated before, these quests normally show up during the endgame portion. For instance, "the steel mission" appears around Story Mission 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" becomes accessible once completing the main story.

Keep in mind that the NPC for "the Skarmory quest" often can be found near the gate to Area 17, though they may vary slightly based on game progress.

Places to Acquire Steel Cover in Pokémon Legends Z-A

After players complete the story conclusion, they can buy a Metal Coat from a seller inside the construction company location. That is the exact place where trainers meet the character Canari for the Rank E promotion match, located close to Gare de Lumiose and just south of Le Nah restaurant. Once unlocked, Racine Construction also turns into a teleportation destination.

After becoming accessible, a seller at Racine Construction will sell a Metal Coat for $4,980. Luckily, this shopkeeper has endless inventory, which means trainers can buy as many Steel Covers as they desire, as long as they can gather sufficient money.

In summary, if players are not advanced enough through the story, they cannot be able to get a Steel Cover currently.
