Strategy & play
How Iron Hands ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its attack takes an extra Prize on KO — a tempo and comeback swing. Opponents will play around giving it a target.
- Its main attack (Arm Press) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 160 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥115 effectively one-shots it.
How to beat Iron Hands ex
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥115 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
