The Iron Ball (Japanese: くろいてっきゅう Black Iron Ball) is a type of held item introduced in Generation IV. It grounds the holder and lowers their Speed.
In the core series games
Price

Effect
The Iron Ball halves the holder's Speed and makes it grounded. Due to being grounded, it becomes susceptible to damaging Ground-type moves; Rototiller; Arena Trap; the entry hazards Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Sticky Web; and terrain, even if it is Flying-type, has the Ability Levitate, or is under the effect of Telekinesis or Magnet Rise. An Iron Ball does not prevent Magnet Rise or Telekinesis from being used successfully.
Generation IV
If held by a Flying-type Pokémon, its secondary type determines the effectiveness of Ground-type attacks that hit it.
Even if the holder has Klutz or is affected by Embargo, its Speed is still halved by the Iron Ball.
Generation V onward
If held by a Flying-type Pokémon, it takes 1× damage from Ground-type moves, regardless of its other types. This does not apply during Inverse Battles or if the holder is grounded by any other effect.
All of the effects of the Iron Ball are negated by Klutz, Embargo, and Magic Room.

Pokémon Adventures
Diamond & Pearl arc
Diamond and Pearl found an Iron Ball amongst the metal items drawn out of the ground in Celestic Town by the magnetic field from Cyrus's Magnezone. It later appeared as an item that was used in conjunction with Lax's Fling in Platinum's Gym battle against Fantina in Mirages of Mismagius II.
Trivia
- The Iron Ball enables Fling to reach its highest base power of 130. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, this status is matched by TR43 (Overheat) and TR71 (Leaf Storm), which contain moves with 130 base power. Starting from the same games, Big Nugget also shares this status.
- In Pokkén Tournament, if the chosen character is Machamp, sometimes it will throw two Iron Balls three times before the fight begins.
