Home of the Electric Gym of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, players can find the Metal Coat held item in Levincia. The Delibird Presents has it, along with many other items, in their Battle Items catalog. It costs 3,000 LP or Poké Dollars and there is an unlimited supply of them. It can also be found in Porto Marinada at one of the auctions, but it won't always be on sale there, making it very unreliable. It is possible to manipulate these items, but there is a large number of items that can be cycled through when going to these auctions.

Metal Coat is a great item to give to any Pokémon with a Steel Type move. It increases the damage of Steel Type moves by 20% and can be used to evolve Scyther into Scizor. Unlike in Pokémon Legends Arceus, where players could simply use the item on the Pokémon, Scyther must be holding the Metal Coat and traded in order for it to evolve. If players are having trouble getting money for it, they can farm Tera Raids both Online and Offline for a chance of getting Stardust and other sellable items.
