In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the Metal Coat is an item that makes Steel-type attacks stronger. It’s also key to evolving two different Pokemon, which is why many players are looking for it. This guide will show you all the ways to find the Metal Coat in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Okay, so listen up, fellow trainers! There’s only one Metal Coat you can snag before you finish the main story in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. And get this – it doesn’t even show up until you’re practically at the very end! Don’t bother trying to evolve your Scizor or Steelix during the main game – you’re going to have to wait until after the credits roll to get both Metal Coats and get those evolutions done. Just a heads-up so you don’t waste your time searching!

Metal Coat Locations in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Side Missions

You can earn a Metal Coat by completing two optional missions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The first, “Steadfast as Steel” (Side Mission 101), appears during Main Mission 35, close to the game’s ending. The second, “A Feather from Skarmory” (Side Mission 114), becomes available after you finish the main story.

Vendor

Once you finish Pokemon Legends: Z-A, two new shops will open at Racine Construction. You can buy useful items at these shops, including Metal Coats from the shop on the left for 4,980 Poke Coins apiece.
