Strategy & play

How Iron Boulder 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 main attack (Adjusted Horn) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
  • Hits for 170 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥70 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.

How to beat Iron Boulder

  • Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥70 damage one-shots it.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Iron Boulder is real?

Iron Boulder is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
