Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: How to Get Metal Coat?

Are you trying to evolve your Scyther into Scizor in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Are you looking for a way to boost your iron-type Pokémon? The Metal Coat can provide the perfect solution for you!

This Evolution item plays quite a significant role in particular aspects of the game and can be the game-changer for you! Furthermore, unlike other items that enhance Pokémon ability, the Metal Coat isn’t difficult to obtain either!

So, without further delay, let’s find out how you can get Metal Coat in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!

How to get Metal Coat in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

The Metal Coat can be purchased from the Delibird Presents shop in Levincia for 3,000 Pokédollars, or from the auctions taking place in Porto Marinada for a certain price.

In order to buy the Metal Coat from the Delibird Presents shop, you need to unlock the item first by earning three gym badges. You can do so by defeating any three gym leaders among the eight present in the game.

Moreover, you can only find this item in the Levincia branch of Delibird Presents. The Delibird Presents shop has three branches all around Paldea, but the Metal Coat won’t be available in the other two.

The branch of Delibird presents in Levincia is easy to spot. It’s located in the road between the Pokémon Center (North) and Chansey Supply Shop, beside Every Wich Way. It’s in the same part of Levincia as the clothes’ and accessories shops.

Once you enter the shop, select the “Battle Items” option when you’re prompted to choose the type of gift you want to purchase.

The Metal Coat should be present towards the top of the list and you’ll only need to select on it to buy it. You can purchase it using LP as well as Pokédollars, based on your preference.

Thankfully, the Metal Coat is relatively less expensive than the other valuable items found in Delibird Presents, such as the choice band, fire stone, and the power items.

If you haven’t been able to earn three gym badges yet, there’s nothing to worry about!

You can still buy the Metal Coat from daily auctions taking place in Porto Marinada.

Only one item is sold in the auction in one day; but, a different item is up for auction the next day. If you’re lucky, you may come across the Metal Coat in a very short time and buy it from the auction.

You’ll bid against other NPCs in the game for the Metal Coat. You may be able to buy the item for less than its price in the Delibird Presents shop if the NPCs aren’t too aggressive while bidding.

If they are aggressive though, you may need to pay much more than 3,000 Pokédollars for the item.

Do remember that, you’ll have to earn the Water Gym badge in Cascarrafa to unlock the Auction features.

You can find the auction in the middle of Porto Marinada’s marketplace. The marketplace also has other shops like the Deli Cioso and the Artisan Bakery, where you can purchase sandwich ingredients, like Ham, Jam, and Cream Cheese.

Wrapping Up

I’d definitely recommend earning the three gym badges and buying the Metal Coat from the Levincia branch of Delibird Presents. It’s a much lesser hassle and potentially cheaper too!

However, the other method works perfectly as well and you can easily obtain the Metal Coat regardless of the path you choose!
