How to Get Malicious Armor

Trade 10 Sinistea Chips at Zapapico in Pokemon Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Trade 10 Sinistea Chips in Zapapico

An NPC in Zapapico will offer you Malicious Armor for 10 Sinistea Chips. When you have the materials, simply talk to the woman and exchange items to get a Malicious Armor.

Note that this is only available in Pokemon Violet, and you need to trade the item from someone if you have Pokemon Scarlet.

Best Sinistea Location

Sinistea Location

Wild Sinistea drop 1-2 Sinistea Chips when defeated or caught, which you need to be able to trade for a Malicious Armor.

The most reliable location to encounter Sinistea is in the ruins in South Province (Area Six), which is difficult to reach, and requires the Jump Upgrade for your Miraidon by defeating the Lurking Steel Titan near Zapapico.

To get there, go south along the path from the central Pokemon Center in West Province (Area One) until you reach a cave with high level Pokemon. You'll then find the town of Alfornada on the other end, where the ruins are.

Although Sinistea is available right outside Zapapico, they are in small numbers, and even after eating a Sandwich which boosts Ghost-type Pokemon Encounters, you'll have a tough time getting the materials you need.

Only Obtainable in Pokemon Violet
