Iron-Defense Move Detail

Summary

Iron Defense is a Steel-type status move that sharply raises the user's Defense stat by two stages. It has no power or accuracy because it does not deal damage but instead fortifies the user's ability to withstand physical attacks. Iron Defense is commonly employed in both casual and competitive play to bolster the resilience of physically defensive Pokémon, making it harder for opponents to break through their defenses. This move is particularly useful in stall tactics and can be a game-changer when combined with recovery moves.
