The Golden Armour is a suit of armour from ancient times in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs. It somewhat resembles the armour worn by Steelheads, but is, as the name implies, pure gold.

In the present, the Golden Armour is divided among the Societea during the rise of the Sky Fortress. Hocus and Kasa each take one of the gauntlets from this armour, Arley takes the mail, and Edward (aka Ed "the Thinker") uses the chestplate and helmet.

This gives them control over Pokémon far superior to the Pinchers wearing the Steelhead armour and the Capture Gauntlets, with Arley and Ed using great Legendary Pokémon, Kasa using a Ditto capable of transforming into Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, and Hocus being able to amplify his magic tricks onto his Crobat, causing it to grow in size.

After the player has captured Ed's Mewtwo, Purple Eyes appears with the help of a Gardevoir, revealing that he had stolen the pieces of the Golden Armour from Hocus, Kasa, and Arley. It is with this armour that he summons Mewtwo again, this time giving it a powerful aura that amplifies its attacks and makes even touching Mewtwo damaging. Despite this, his efforts are thwarted by the player, who manages to free Mewtwo.

In the past, the Golden Armour is worn by the Golden Steelhead, Ellios. With this armour, he is capable of controlling the other Steelheads, including the Temple Chiefs, and attempts to control Arceus with this armour. He finally does so, only to be stopped by the player, who has traveled through time at the request of Celebi.
