Certain Pokémon require special circumstances to reach their full potential, whether that be through the use of an item, learning a specific move, or even leveling up at the right time of day. This has been the case since the original games and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet carry that legacy content over as well, meaning trainers are searching far and wide for how to find items like the Metal Coat.
Scarlet and Violet actually make it easier than ever to grab most of the items necessary for evolution, and here is how you can grab your Metal Coat and net a Scizor or any other Pokémon that requires the item.
Many players are currently trying to get a Metal Coat for their Gholdengo to counter the Iron Bundle Seven Star Tera Raid that is currently active.
Metal Coat locations in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
The easiest way to get the Metal Coat in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is to head over to the Delibird Presents store in Levincia and pick one up for 3,000 PokéDollars.
This chain is where most evolution and held items can be found. You just have to find the right store or progress through the game to unlock certain items, so if the Metal Coat doesn’t show up for you, just try to beat a few more Gyms as three Gym Badges is the requirement for most items.
There are really only two ways you can find a Metal Coat outside of a potential lucky find in the overworld—or in Tera Raids if they are even included as rewards.

You can also grab one in the Porto Marinada auctions, though it is less reliable to try and get it this way.
Now that you know how to get the Metal Coat in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, it’s time to head to Delibird Presents and spend some dollars!
