Stats in Pokémon GO Unlike my analyses of Roaring Moon, Iron Valiant, and Walking Wake, Iron Leaves won’t be compared with any particular Pokémon per see. Rather, I’ll list down the possible moves and see how this paradox mon fares as a Grass and Psychic type.
HP: 207 Pokémon Presents that brought to us several bits of info on various Pokémon games, including Scarlet and Violet. Not only did we get to have a sneak peak into the upcoming DLC but we also got introduced to 2 new Paradox mons: Walking Wave (Paradox Suicune) that is exclusive to Scarlet, and Iron Leaves (Paradox Virizion) that is exclusive to Violet.
The following article Fast moves: Magical Leaf
As a Grass type, there is great potential with a workable moveset. There aren’t too many Grass types in the ML meta and its ATK is reasonably higher than most grassy Pokémon out there. Fingers crossed!
As a Psychic type, the competition is fierce. Even if you don’t consider Megas, Mewtwo exists. And then there are the likes of Alakazam, Azelf, and Espeon to boot.
The dual typing of Grass and Psychic is notorious for having 7 weaknesses. More on this later.
Viable Moveset Options DEF: 213
Fast Moves Charged Moves
Leaf Blade Grass Grass Knot Grass Leaf Storm Grass Sacred Sword Fighting
Close Combat Fighting
As a Psychic type Grass type raid attackers of choice. The combination of Magical Leaf with Grass Knot + Leaf Blade can give you a flexible playstyle in raids. Leaf Storm is a 1-bar charged move but still powerful. So if you’re looking for an absolute Grass type unit that deals heavy damage in raids, Iron Leaves with the right moveset is what you need.
As a Grass type In PvP Psychic type moves. The thing is, there aren’t any that are learnable in Pokémon GO!
Iron Leaves has an awkward profile when it comes to type match-ups.
In PvE Charged moves: Leaf Blade, Grass Knot, Leaf Storm, Sacred Sword The Overall Best Moveset Scenario ATK: 259 Grass type and Psychic type. However, there are some important pointers to be kept in mind:
Type-matchups Walking Wake (Paradox Suicune) Roaring Moon (Paradox Salamence) Iron Valiant (Paradox Gardevoir/Gallade) Psychic moves to threaten Fighting type. Its Grass moves may save it from falling into oblivion due to positive match-ups against some well-known ML mons but that’s about it. Its slew of seven weaknesses that include the Bug , Dark , Fire , Flying , Ghost , Ice , and Poison types is a matter of concern. So don’t expect it to be reliable in PvP. Let’s just be happy that it has very good potential in PvP!
Parting words…
One of the most unique aspects of these games (apart from the Terastallization gimmick) is the introduction of Paradox Pokémon, past and future forms that look similar to certain existing Pokémon but are entirely different Pokémon altogether. They are similar in essence to Ultra Beasts, except for the fact that Paradox mons are not from another dimension… rather, they are from different timelines.

Dewgong is a pure white, fluffy pinniped Pokémon. In icy weather, its fur makes it practically inconspicuous. It has two black eyes, a black nose, and two tusks that protrude from its upper jaw. It features a sleek body, two front flippers, and a long, flowing tail. Even in very cold and ice-packed waters, its tail permits it to swim at rates of up to 8 knots. A pointed horn on top of its head helps it to cut through the thickest ice floes.
It dwells on icebergs floating in freezing ocean waters. It thrives in cooler conditions, becoming more active as the temperature drops. It is absolutely unaffected by even the most harsh cold conditions because it stores thermal energy inside its body. It rests on severely cold ice or beneath shallow water throughout the day. However, as the temperature lowers at night, it transforms into a hunter and seeks for prey such as Wishiwashi. It sunbathes on the beach after eating. This elevates its body temperature and facilitates digestion.
With the return of the Water Festival in Pokémon Go, be ready to take advantage of the summertime. The second Water Festival event has a lot of Water-type Pokémon to catch as well as a number of welcome trainer rewards, despite arriving a little later than it did last year.
Water Festival 2018 Event is Here!
The 2018 Water Festival will start later today at 1 o'clock (PDT) and go through June 21. Water-type Pokémon like Magikarp and Wailmer will be much more common up to that point, while starter Pokémon like Totodile and Mudkip will now hatch from 2 kilometer Eggs.
For any eggs born during the event, Trainers additionally get twice the normal amount of Candy and Stardust. Likewise, if you capture any Water-type creatures, you'll get three times as much stardust as usual.
Water-types will also show up more often in Raid Battles in addition to event-specific Field Research tasks. Legendary Pokémon Kyogre also returns to Raids and, if you're exceptionall

Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy, red pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips.
As Mega Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white turban with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band. Using its enhanced wi
Virizion never really made a mark in the game but Iron Leaves can do that in the Grass type PvE meta as long as it gets the right moveset. And there’s some good news in this regard: Iron Leaves movepool is anyway very limited in the main series games, and even more limited when it comes to learnable moves in Pokémon GO.
PS: Though it doesn’t get STAB, Sacred Sword (preferably this over Close Combat), can be a viable move to boot.
Now you see why Iron Leaves is so underwhelming compared to the other Paradox Pokémon I’ve analyzed? It’s sad though because Iron Leaves actually has a nice appeal.
