The easiest way of acquiring a Metal Coat in Pokemon Unbound is through an item located on 3F of Thundercap Mountain. Accessing this item requires Rock Climb and Rock Smash. Although it isn’t required, Flash is also recommended to make the area easier to navigate.

Alternatively, Metal Coats can be obtained as held items by several wild Pokemon (5% chance each) and also acquired as drops from multiple Pokemon across numerous Raid Dens.
