How to Acquire a Metal Jacket in PLZA

Learning methods to get a Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is essential for finalizing your Pokémon Index, since two particular monsters – Mantis Pokémon and Onix – need this item to develop into Scizor and Iron Snake respectively. Furthermore, both these advanced versions feature super forms obtainable in the game.

You'll find a couple of key approaches to acquire a Steel Cover in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the two of which involve significant story progress. The soonest trainers can acquire this upgrade tool is after they achieve the C Rank in their adventure.


How to Obtain Steel Cover in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Players can use two primary methods to obtain a Steel Cover in PLZA: finishing particular side missions or acquiring it from Racine Construction building. Sadly, the two options become accessible fairly late in the game.

Optional Tasks That Grant Steel Covers

There are a pair of certain optional tasks that offer Metal Coats as rewards: Side Mission 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Sub-Quest 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As noted before, these missions normally appear during the endgame phase. For instance, "Steadfast as Steel" unlocks around Story Mission 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" unlocks after completing the primary campaign.

It's worth noting that the non-player character for "the Skarmory quest" typically appears near the gate to Wild Zone 17, though their location could change a bit according to your progress.

Where to Purchase Metal Coat in PLZA

After trainers have reached the story conclusion, they can purchase a Steel Cover from a worker inside the construction company building. This is the same place where players find the character Canari for the Rank E promotion battle test, situated near the train station and below Le Nah restaurant. Once unlocked, the building also functions as a teleportation spot.

After becoming accessible, a seller at the construction site will sell a Steel Cover for 4980 in-game currency. Fortunately, this seller has unlimited stock, meaning players can buy as many Steel Covers as they want, assuming they possess sufficient funds.

Basically, if players are still early adequately through the game, they won't manage to obtain a Metal Jacket at this time.
