There's no clear cut method in S/M that will guarantee a Metal Coat. However, it is found:

Held by wild Magnemite (5% chance), wild Skarmory (5% chance), and wild Beldum (5% chance)

Meaning you'll have to catch these Pokemon and you might get lucky sooner or later.

I tried this method before. It took almost an hour or two until I finally Thieved a Metal Coat from Magnemite.
Once I caught a Skarmory with Metal Coat first try.
