Ways to Get a Steel Cover in PLZA

Learning how to obtain a Metal Jacket in PLZA is essential for finalizing your Pokémon Index, since two certain creatures – Scyther and Rock Snake – need this tool to transform into Pincer Pokémon and Steelix correspondingly. What's more, both of these advanced forms possess mega versions obtainable in the game.

There are a couple of main methods to acquire a Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends Z-A, each of which need substantial story development. The soonest gamers can get this evolution object is once they reach Rank C in their journey.


How to Obtain Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Gamers can employ a couple of primary strategies to acquire a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends Z-A: finishing specific side missions or buying it from Racine Construction building. Regrettably, the two options become accessible relatively late in the story.

Optional Tasks That Provide Metal Coats

Players will encounter a pair of specific side missions that offer Steel Covers as prizes: Optional Task 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Side Mission 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As noted earlier, these tasks typically appear during the endgame portion. For example, "the steel mission" unlocks around Main Mission 35, while "the Skarmory quest" unlocks following completing the central questline.

It's worth noting that the character for "the Skarmory quest" usually can be found near the gate to Zone 17, though they could change slightly depending on story advancement.

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

When players complete the story conclusion, they are able to buy a Metal Coat from a vendor inside the Racine Construction site. It's the exact building where players meet the character Canari for the E Rank battle test, located close to Lumiose Station and just south of Le Nah restaurant. At this point, the building also turns into a quick travel spot.

Once available, a shopkeeper at the construction site will offer a Metal Coat for $4,980. Thankfully, this vendor maintains infinite supply, so trainers can purchase as much Metal Coats as they want, provided they have adequate currency.

In summary, if trainers are not advanced sufficiently through the story, they cannot manage to obtain a Metal Coat at this time.
