The Metal Coat is an item for increasing Steel-type Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and to evolve certain types of Pokémon. Long-time players will likely know this item already due to its importance. It’s an ideal held item to give to a Pokémon that either is a steel type or can use steel type moves. If any of these situations apply to you then this how to find a Metal Coat guide in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the guide for you!
Where can you find a Metal Coat?
Before proceeding with the search for a metal coat you will have to have beaten at least three gyms for one of the methods to work. There are three ways to get a Metal Coat the first one being the simplest of the three however it does require you to have 3 gym badges. You can buy a Metal Coat from the Delibird Presents store in Levincia costing 3000 Pokédollars.
If you haven’t beaten the three gyms yet but you still want to get a Metal Coat, there’s two different ways to get it. The first being an overworld item you will have to loot every item you find in the hopes of getting one. This if you want it without completing the gyms first. Now if this doesn’t work for you, there’s a different way, a Metal Coat can appear at the auctions in Porto Marinada. The problem with this method is the huge variety of potential items at the auction therefore the odds of getting a Metal coat being unlikely.
What is the Metal Coat for?
Like we mentioned before the Metal Coat is used to evolve certain types of Pokémon. Specifically, in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet it’s used to evolve Scyther into Scizor by trading a Scizor holding a Metal Coat. This is a must for people looking to complete their Pokédex.
It also increases the power of all Steel-type moves for any Pokémon with the item. Giving you an extra boost can make all the difference in winning battles. If you want to make your Steel type Pokémon stronger or just a Pokémon with steel type moves more damaging, then this item is exactly what you are looking for.
