Iron-Tail Move Detail
Iron Tail is a Steel-type move with 100 power and 75% accuracy. It has a 30% chance of lowering the target's Defense by one stage. Iron Tail is a physical attack, meaning it relies on the user's Attack stat and the target's Defense stat. While its relatively low accuracy can be a drawback, its high power and the potential defensive debuff make it a valuable move for certain Pokémon, particularly those with strong physical stats and access to Steel-type moves. Iron Tail is notably associated with Pokémon like Pikachu and Steelix and can be used strategically to weaken the opponent's defenses for subsequent attacks.
