Summary
Iron is a type of vitamin item in the Pokémon series. When used, it permanently increases the Defense EV (Effort Value) of a selected Pokémon by 10 points, up to the maximum of 252 EVs in a single stat. This makes Iron particularly valuable for trainers looking to enhance the defensive capabilities of their Pokémon, making them more resilient to physical attacks.
Iron can be purchased at various shops, including department stores and Poké Marts in different regions, often for a relatively high price compared to more common items. It can also be found in specific locations throughout the game world or rewarded through certain events and battles, making it somewhat accessible but still valuable enough to encourage its strategic use.
