Iron Ball lowers the user's speed stat and allows others to hit them with Ground-type moves if the user is a Flying-type or has Levitate.
The effect seems like a disadvantage but is has its use for weather setters. This is due to the fact that if two weather setters were sent out on the field at the same time, the slower Pokemon will get his ability up over the faster Pokemon.

We recommend bringing a Pokemon such as Absol, with the Super Luck Ability which increases the chance for Wild Pokemon to have a held item. Absol can also learn the move Thief to take the item from the opponent without the need of catching it. Just make sure Absol isn't holding any items beforehand.
Iron Ball is obtainable by digging in the Grand Underground. Use your pickaxe first to confirm the item before completely digging it out with your sledgehammer. The chances of getting them is relatively low, so be patient when it comes to digging!
