In-Depth Analysis
Iron Thorns totals 570 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Attack (134) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (70).
Defensively, the Rock, Electric combination gives Iron Thorns 5 resistances and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Ground moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 30 makes Iron Thorns a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
