How Do You Catch Iron Leaves in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
In order to catch Iron Leaves, you will need to have the Pokémon Violet version of the game. Players of Pokémon Scarlet will unfortunately be unable to take part in the Pokémon Violet-exclusive Tera Raid Battles for this specific character. Next, you will need to have a counter to Iron Leaves’ Psychic Tera Type, but also remain wary of the powerful Bug and Grass type moves that this Virizion variant will possess. Here is a list of Iron Leaves’ possible moves.
- Psyblade.
- Leaf Blade.
- Megahorn.
- Electric Terrain.
- Swords Dance.
To counter Iron Leaves, bring with you a Bug type Pokémon like Scizor or others who have strong Attack and Defense stats. You will want your Pokémon to take very little damage from the attacks Iron Leaves uses, which will help you to stay in the fight for longer and have a winning chance. Using Bug type moves on Iron Leaves will make it easier to defeat, as this type is super effective on Iron Leaves. Good luck!
