Ways to Acquire Metal Coat in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Trainers can employ pair of main methods to acquire a Metal Jacket in PLZA: completing particular optional tasks or acquiring it from Racine Construction building. Unfortunately, each options become accessible relatively late in the adventure.

Sub-Quests That Grant Metal Coats

There are couple of specific sub-quests that provide Metal Coats as compensation: Sub-Quest 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Sub-Quest 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As mentioned before, these missions normally become available during the late-game portion. Specifically, "the steel mission" unlocks around Campaign Quest 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" unlocks following beating the main story.

Remember that the non-player character for "A Feather from Skarmory" typically appears near the entrance to Wild Zone 17, though the character may vary slightly according to story advancement.

Places to Buy Steel Cover in Pokémon Legends Z-A

After trainers complete the game's credits, they can buy a Metal Coat from a worker inside the Racine Construction building building. That is the exact building where trainers encounter Canari for the Rank E promotion promotion match, located close to Gare de Lumiose and just south of Le Nah restaurant. Once unlocked, Racine Construction also functions as a teleportation spot.

After becoming accessible, a seller at Racine Construction will offer a Metal Coat for 4980 in-game currency. Fortunately, this seller maintains unlimited stock, which means trainers can buy as numerous Steel Covers as they desire, provided they can gather enough funds.

Essentially, if players haven't progressed sufficiently through the story, they cannot manage to get a Metal Coat just yet.
