Why Pokemon Pros were WRONG About Iron Crown.
83,037
Published 2024-07-02
Iron Boulder was the original star of the new DLC with its high speed and explosive offensive power.
However, with metagame shifts Iron Boulder eventually fell below OU, not enjoying the rise of Landorus Therian and suffering from its defensively poor typing and limited tools.
Iron Crown on the other hand caught the eyes of great players thanks to its Double Hitting signature move Tachyon Cutter, which works very well against Sash-reliant aggressive leads.
With natural Bulk and high Special Attack along with Pivoting from Volt Switch, Iron Crown also functioned very well as an Assault Vest pivot on Bulky Offense teams.
Iron Crown has now risen to OU as of July, overtaking his brother.

Some will never figure out how to get Iron Crown in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Iron Crown Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Iron Crown Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on YouTube. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

that's iron brian

Beating the Iron Clown allegations
-
Iron Crown may not be able to learn the move High Horsepower, but the revelation that Spectrier, a Horse Elite, is also unable to do so leads me to believe this Paradox Pokemon should be allowed a place in the Horse Council.
-
In a world of increasing horse creep, Rhydon has risen to the horse council in a very honest way
-
Iron Boulder losing popularity in OU in the generation it was introduced? It really is the future Paradox form of Terrakion
-
Indeedee learns Expanding Horse
-
This actually sort of reminds me to the Infernape and Empoleon dynamic in Gen 4 Infernape at first was the more favorable option due to being a fast, explosive, immediate threat. But as the meta shifted, it went more into the favor of the slower, bulky attacker with defense/offense utility.
-
The Horse Chronicles have me on edge every time
-
Sure, the horse lore is heating up. But are we gonna ignore that a member of the chicken clan, Moltres, has just risen to OU?
-
Regigigas can also learn high horsepower, he’s just taking a REALLY long time to reach the council
-
What I love is Moltres constantly entering and leaving OU.
-
Iron crown? More like iron clown! screams, OHKO’d through my sash that has enabled my overconfident statement
-
Horse power is a unit of measurement based on the power of a single horse. To have high horse power you aren't a horse, you have the power of many.
-
We need to define the necessary and sufficient conditions for membership in the polyphyletic group of horses.
-
Spectrier can't be a horse as spectrier is dead. Horses are famously not dead, otherwise they couldn't do things such as gallop, pull carriages, or use high horsepower.
-
Funny. Isnt this exactly why Cobalion started seeing use later in the previous generations? It wasn't as fast as Virizion or as strong as Terrakion, but it could do more. So much more. Volt Switch was also one of the redeeming qualities it had. Very cool that Iron Crown really is like the 2.0 of Cobalion
-
all metagames eventually evolve and become more defensive slow and bulky as time goes on because Finch’s ou council on smogon only ever bans offensive pokemon
-
HORSE CRITERIA!: I can ride it off into the sunset and pet it and it goes "neigh"
-
Every crown’s rise means a boulder’s fall.
