How to Obtain a Steel Cover in PLZA

Knowing the way to obtain a Metal Coat in PLZA is crucial for completing your Pokémon Index, since two particular creatures – Scyther and Onix – require this object to evolve into Scizor and Iron Snake respectively. What's more, both those advanced types possess mega forms available in the game.

Players have two main ways to obtain a Metal Coat in PLZA, the two of which need considerable main quest progress. The first opportunity players can get this evolution item is after they achieve the C Rank in their journey.


Methods for Get Metal Coat in PLZA

Gamers can use a couple of main strategies to get a Steel Cover in Pokémon Legends Z-A: undertaking particular side missions or buying it from Racine Construction building. Sadly, the two approaches become available relatively late in the game.

Sub-Quests That Reward Steel Covers

Players will encounter two certain sub-quests that offer Metal Coats as prizes: Side Mission 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Sub-Quest 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory"). As mentioned previously, these tasks usually become available during the endgame phase. For example, "Steadfast as Steel" appears around Story Mission 35, while "A Feather from Skarmory" unlocks following finishing the primary campaign.

It's worth noting that the NPC for "the Skarmory quest" typically appears near the gate to Wild Zone 17, though the character may vary slightly based on your progress.

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

Once players complete the end credits, they are able to purchase a Metal Coat from a worker inside the construction company location. That is the exact building where gamers meet Canari for the Rank E promotion rank battle, located near Lumiose Station and just south of Le Nah restaurant. Once unlocked, the building also turns into a teleportation destination.

Once available, a vendor at Racine Construction will sell a Metal Coat for 4980 Pokédollars. Thankfully, this vendor offers unlimited stock, which means players can purchase as many Metal Jackets as they want, provided they possess adequate money.

Essentially, if gamers haven't progressed enough through the game, they won't have the ability to acquire a Metal Coat just yet.
