This secret has already been uncovered by the hardcore players of the game. To cite, getting a Metal Coat is not that hard because this item can be obtained by using Thief on a Magnemite, which happens to hold the item.
According to reports, to obtain the Metal Coat players can encounter the Pokemon Magnemite near the Pokemon Center with a patch of grass, which is also near Route 1. There are two ways a player can obtain Metal Coat in "Pokemon Sun and Moon" and this is through the moves Thief and Frisk, reported Mic.
To explain in detail, any Pokemon that can Thief is eligible to obtain the item such as Butterfree, Exeggutor, and much more. At the same time, players might want to bring an Exeggutor that has the move Frisk to safely obtain the item without killing the wild Magnemite. Once the players obtain the item, they can flee from battle. This is how it can be obtained, reported Game Faqs.
There are certain Pokemon that can hold Metal Coat. It can be held by Pokemon such as Onix or Scyther. Similar to the earlier version, these two Pokemon will evolve to a steel-type Pokemon because of the item and when they are traded. Once traded, these Pokemon will evolve into Steelix and Scizor.
