Iron Head Effect
Has the user attack the designated area with its steel-hard heads, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokemon it hits, as well as granting itself a shield. When the user is in No Retreat formation, the move's range is shortened, but its area of attack is widened. The user's next 4 basic attacks can be used while it's moving. When the user is in Dispatch formation, dispatched troopers returnn to the column when the user attacks with this move. The returning troopers shove and deal damage to opposing Pokemon they hit on their way back to the column.
How to Use Iron Head
Utilize the Instant Boosted Attack Effect
Falinks' attack instantly becomes a Boosted Attack whenever it uses Iron Head. Since its Boosted Attack reduces the cooldown of Tackle, Megahorn or Iron Head, following up with a Boosted Attack immediately after using Iron Head allows Falinks to use the move more frequently.
Use as a Mobility Tool
Since Iron Head is a dash move, Falinks can use it as a general mobility tool for traveling faster. The move also allows Falinks to move through walls. However, it's best to only do this if Falinks is in Column and Dispatch formations.
Although it's still possible to move through walls if the move is used while Falinks is in No Retreat formation, Iron Head's range is drastically reduced, limiting the walls that it can actually go through.
Regroup with Troopers Using Iron Head While in Dispatch Formation
When Falinks uses Iron Head while in Dispatch formation, the brass and all troopers who are separated from it will leap to the designated location and Falinks will automatically return to the Column formation. In this case, using Iron Head is essentially a way for Falinks to regroup and reset things.
However, the damage dealt by Iron Head and its shoving effect while in Dispatch formation also makes it a great offensive tool in general.
| Note: Iron Head is objectively the better choice when using Beat Up to allow troopers to quickly regroup with the brass. |
Stun Opponents While in No Retreat Formation
While Falinks is in No Retreat formation, Iron Head's range is drastically reduced, but its area width increases and effects remains the same, turning the move into more of an area move rather than a dash. The move's wider area and stun effect makes it a great crowd control tool.
