Instructions
Questing
Search for quests around major, non-player character locations such as Glitch City. You can also obtain quests from non-player characters who you encounter during your adventures; simply accept the quests when the characters offer them to you.
Obtain quest-specific items and return them to the non-player characters to complete your quest objectives.
Accept steel bars as rewards from the quests, or pick them up while questing.
Trading
Create a thread on the "PokéFarm" forums to offer Pokémon or items in exchange for steel bars. One steel bar is the effective equivalent of a one dollar bill, so offering to exchange valuable or rare Pokémon will earn you a larger number of steel bars.
Locate another player interested in the Pokémon or items that you have to offer, and negotiate a fair price.
Navigate to the trade menu and exchange your items or Pokémon for the other player's steel bars.
