Increase Chances by using a Pokemon with Super Luck

We recommend bringing a Pokemon such as Absol, with the Super Luck Ability which increases the chance for Wild Pokemon to have a held item. Absol can also learn the move Thief to take the item from the opponent without the need of catching it. Just make sure Absol isn't holding any items beforehand.

Getting Metal Coat Early

Magnemite and Bronzor have a chance of holding Metal Coat and are easy to find in the Grand Underground, with them being available immediately after you get the Explorer's Kit in Eterna City.
