This article will tell you all about the new Paradox Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Violet, Iron Leaves. We'll tell you how to get Iron Leaves in Pokemon Violet plus everything you could possibly want to know about this Pokemon.
How to Get Iron Leaves in Pokemon Violet
Iron Leaves is currently only obtainable if you participate in 5-Star Tera Raid Battle Event during certain dates.
The first time this event was run where you could obtain Iron Leaves in Pokemon Violet was February 27th until March 12th 2023. We do believe however that this special event will be run again more times in the future so you'll get more chances to get Iron Leaves in Pokemon Violet.
5-Star Tera Raid Battle Event
Here is everything you need to know about the 5-Star Tera Raid Battle Event so when the event appears again, you'll be all set and ready to play it.
First of all, you'll need to make sure that you have a valid Nintendo Switch Online account to take part in any 5-Star Tera Raid Battle Event. Also, you need to have completed the main story in Pokemon Violet.
That's all the prep done, so next time the event appears you should be good to go.
Now here are the details about what will happen in the event.
When the event is active, go to the Poke Portal Menu to get access to the Tera Raid Battle Search. You should now be able to find the Iron Leaves Raid and join it.
Cathcing Iron Leaves
Now you need to select your Pokemon to go up against Iron Leaves. Iron Leaves is a Grass/Psychic type Pokemon so pick one of your strong Fire or Ghost Type Pokemon. If you have a good Flareon, then that could be a good choice.
You can only catch on Iron Leaves per game, so if you already have him, then you won't be able to get another if you play the event again at a later gate.
It is possible that you can also get Iron Leaves if you have Pokemon Scarlet as long as you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. To try, during the dates you know the event is online, search for Tera Raid Battles online and it could be possible to find Iron Leaves.
