Ways to Acquire a Metal Jacket in PLZA

Knowing methods to obtain a Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends Z-A is essential for completing your Pokémon Index, since a pair of certain Pokémon – Scyther and Onix – demand this object to transform into Pincer Pokémon and Iron Snake respectively. Additionally, both those upgraded types have super forms accessible in the game.

You'll find a couple of main approaches to obtain a Metal Coat in PLZA, each of which require considerable main quest development. The first opportunity trainers can get this evolutionary tool is once they reach Rank C in their quest.


Methods for Acquire Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Gamers can use a couple of key methods to get a Metal Coat in PLZA: undertaking specific side missions or buying it from Racine Construction. Unfortunately, the two options become accessible later on in the game.

Sub-Quests That Grant Metal Jackets

Players will encounter a pair of specific optional tasks that offer Metal Coats as compensation: Sub-Quest 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Optional Task 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As mentioned before, these quests typically appear during the endgame segment. Specifically, "Steadfast as Steel" appears around Story Mission 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" unlocks following beating the primary campaign.

It's worth noting that the character for "A Feather from Skarmory" usually can be found near the entrance to Zone 17, though their location may vary somewhat depending on your progress.

Places to Acquire Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

After gamers complete the game's credits, they are able to purchase a Metal Jacket from a seller inside the Racine Construction building site. It's the exact building where trainers encounter Canari for the E Rank battle test, located close to the train station and below the Le Nah dining spot. By this stage, this location also functions as a quick travel spot.

When unlocked, a vendor at the construction site will offer a Metal Jacket for 4980 Pokédollars. Fortunately, this vendor offers endless inventory, so gamers can buy as numerous Steel Covers as they desire, as long as they can gather enough money.

Essentially, if players haven't progressed enough through the story, they won't be able to acquire a Steel Cover at this time.
