Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Booster Energy ImageBooster Energy

Iron Thorns only comes with one ability, Quark Drive. This ability boosts a Pokemon's highest stat by a whopping 30% when holding a Booster Energy or when Electric Terrain is active. This makes an Attack focused Iron Thorns capable of dealing significant amounts of damage to opposing Pokemon.

We also recommend getting an Iron Thorns with a Rock Tera Type because of its innate resistance to Fire-type moves. As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature would compliment it best.

EV Spread Guide

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a bulky offense to help with survivability and dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Attack EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Sp.Def. The Booster Energy further pushes Iron Thorns' damage to the limits.

Start out a Tera Raid Battle by using Screech to lower Charizard's Defense stat and help your team deal more damage. Use a Swords Dance before attacking with either Stone Edge or Dragon Claw. This build focuses on dealing as much damage as possible, so ensure you're doing that by having both Screech and Swords Dance active as often as possible.
