Players have two primary strategies to obtain a Metal Jacket in Pokémon Legends Z-A: undertaking specific sub-quests or acquiring it from Racine Construction. Sadly, each options become available later on in the game.

Optional Tasks That Reward Metal Jackets

There are couple of specific sub-quests that offer Metal Coats as rewards: Side Mission 101 ("Steadfast as Steel") and Side Mission 114 ("A Feather from Skarmory").

Once trainers attain the story conclusion, they are able to buy a Steel Cover from a vendor inside the Racine Construction building site. It's the exact structure where players meet the character Canari for the Rank E battle test, located adjacent to Gare de Lumiose and south of Restaurant Le Nah. At this point, Racine Construction also turns into a quick travel destination.

After becoming accessible, a shopkeeper at this location will provide a Metal Coat for 4980 Pokédollars. Fortunately, this seller has infinite supply, which means gamers can acquire as many Metal Coats as they desire, provided they can gather sufficient currency.

Essentially, if players are still early adequately through the game, they will not manage to acquire a Metal Jacket just yet.
