Say goodbye to Mega Steelix and Scizor in Pokemon Legends: ZA.

Pokemon Legends: ZA Released just a few days ago, the game has already divided the fan base due to some polarizing new features, lack of existing features, and sometimes buggy or poor gameplay experience. with Pokemon Legends: ZA Since it's been bombarded with reviews, it's no surprise that some shiny Pokémon have disappeared, making them virtually impossible to catch, or that some fans are unhappy with the game's long tutorial. This game is definitely not for everyone, and finding out that you can barely get Mega Steelix and Scizor may upset another segment of the population.

Pokemon Legends: ZANew Mega Evolutions can be post-game rewards in some cases. For example, Pyrorite and Malamarite can only be purchased with Mega Shards after you beat the game and get Mega Zygarde. This may not mean much, but it makes things even worse for the most popular mega fans. Although Mega Steelix and Scizor have always been one of the most beloved Megas in the series. Pokemon Legends: ZA We don't give them much love for a few reasons:

Scyther can only be used in: Pokemon Legends: ZAWild Zone 13 unlocks after Mission 14.
Onix is only available in Wild Zone 14, unlocked after Mission 19.
The game does not have a link cable. This means that if you want to evolve Scyther and Onix, you'll need to trade them while you have Metal Coat.
The Metal Coat can be used indefinitely after the game, but before that, players must reach A rank (Mission 35) to unlock the side missions (Steadfast as Steel and Skarmory's A Feather) that award one of each.
You must pay a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to trade with other players.
There have been no reported instances of wild Steelix or Scizor in the game so far, meaning they may be trade-only.
You cannot transfer older versions of Steelix or Scizor to: Pokemon Legends: ZA.

For all of these reasons, Mega Steelix and Scizor aren't really easy to get, and are probably the last Pokémon you'll get. This is especially bad considering how early you can get Steelixite and Scizorite.

Pokemon Legends: ZA makes Steelix and Scizor unnecessarily difficult.

Considering that much of the game's content has a time limit behind completing story missions, it's not surprising that Onix and Scyther aren't captured early, or that Metal Coat is difficult to obtain. However, while the Metal Coat is an endgame item, it makes little sense that Steelixite and Scizor are immediately available in the Stone Emporium, and trading is required to unlock Steelix and Scizor in the first place.

Shiny Mega Steelix and Scizor are virtually impossible to appear in Pokémon Legends: ZA.

Plus, the shiny Pokemon Pokemon Legends: ZA It can be trickier to deal with. That means fans who want a shiny Mega Steelix or Scizor will have a much harder time getting one. Because you need to find fellow players who have met all the conditions needed to purchase Steelix and Scizor and subscribe to NSO, as well as shiny evolution deals.

Of course there is. Pokemon Legends: ZA Now you can use trade codes to simplify things, but since there's no chat and no random people involved in the trades, it's incredibly difficult to find someone with the desire to trade in a shiny Onix or Scyther for a coat of metal. This is a very strange move for Game Freak, and it's unclear why Mega Steelix and Scizor in particular got the short end of the stick.
