Iron Leaves (Japanese: テツノイサハ Tetsunoisaha) is a dual-type Grass/Psychic Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be a futuristic relative of Virizion.

It was announced in the February 27, 2023 Pokémon Presents, along with Walking Wake.

Biology

Iron Leaves extending its blades

Iron Leaves is a mechanical Pokémon that resembles a futuristic stag or antelope-like, quadrupedal that is primarily green and grey. On the sides of its head are long metal horns that end in half circle points. It has a sliver snout with a bright red blaze running from its horn to the back of its head, with white spots inside of blaze. The eyes are bright digital red. Iron Leaves's face, neck, hind legs, and underside are grey. The grey parts of its body has several dark grey lines connecting to different parts. The neck is covered by three green, circle armor. The middle circle has green tipped leaf on each side of its neck connected to small green circle. The leaves have a bight red tip and white spots. The upper half of body has a green armor plating, connected to both three pointed tufts of fur forming a medium-long tail and two large spikes on each side of tail. The front legs connect to green armor with three leafy tufts shaped like wings and green cylinder armor with half-circle tip. The hind legs is connected to green leg armor. Its four legs resemble knee-high, green armor boots with bright red diamond highlights at the knees with white spots. The end of leg are black hooves.

Iron Leaves resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the Violet Book. It has a smooth, glossy body that has a metallic texture, and the glowing parts on its forehead and neck can transform into ethereal longswords.

The rest of Iron Leaves’s ecology and other details regarding it is unknown. Research on Iron Leaves is ongoing.

Iron Leaves is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Psyblade.

Trivia

Sketch resembling Iron Leaves in the Violet Book

• Before the official reveal of Iron Leaves, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the Violet Book in Pokémon Violet as an amalgam of the Swords of Justice (Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion).
• Although Iron Leaves is part Psychic-type, the only damaging Psychic-type move that it can learn is its signature move, Psyblade.
• Iron Leaves and Walking Wake can be considered counterparts of one another.
  • They are both based on Legendary Pokémon that is a member of a group.
    • Additionally, despite being based on Legendary Pokémon, neither is considered to be a Legendary Pokémon.
  • They are the first Paradox Pokémon that can be encountered in a Tera Raid.
  • Both were first teased in the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V.
  • They are the only non-Legendary Paradox Pokémon that can be caught only once.
  • Neither of them appear in any editions of "Occulture".
  • They are the only Paradox Pokémon to not have any Pokédex entries.
  • They are also the only Pokémon not to have any Pokédex entries in Pokémon HOME, with the words “Ecology under research” being used in place of proper Pokédex entries.
  • Both were added in the same update.
  • They are the only Paradox Pokémon whose apparent relatives are not available in Scarlet and Violet.
  • A part of each of their names could be considered a pun on their respective eras of existence: “Wake” can also refer to an emergence from sleep, or a beginning of time. “Leaves” can also refer to an action of departure, or an ending of time.

Origin

Iron Leaves is based on a robotic version of Virizion.

Name origin

Iron Leaves is literally iron leaves. “Leaves” can also refer to an action of departure, or an ending of time.
