What are Iron Hands Weaknesses in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

You’ll come across Iron Hands towards the end game during Area Zero. This means you must be prepared with the right Pokemon to counter all its moves before going into this area. Iron Hands is labeled as a Fighting and Electric-type Pokemon, meaning a few other types can significantly damage him. These include:

• Fairy
• Ground
• Psychic

While many other types can deal typical damage to Iron Hands, these three will give you the highest advantage in battle. Be careful, as this Pokemon likes to use Electric Terrain, which changes the area and grants Iron Hands an increase in attack power or defense. To counter this, ensure you have an item that clears the terrain or at least a move that can change the terrain to something in your favor.

• Electric
• Bug
• Rock
• Dark
• Steel
