Iron Valiant (Japanese: テツノブジン Tetsunobujin) is a dual-type Fairy/Fighting Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be a futuristic relative of Gardevoir and Gallade.

Biology

Iron Valiant is a mechanical, bipedal Pokémon whose appearance retains numerous visual traits from both Gardevoir and Gallade. Its arms consists of gauntlets with large magenta blades protruding from the sides, which it can detach and combine to serve as a deadly double-edged weapon. Its head spikes outward twice from both sides and is covered by a green curved piece resembling hair with two cone-shaped structures at the back of its head, and a teal head crest, somewhat akin to a gladiator's helmet. A magenta core serves as a centerpiece on its chest. Four petal-shaped white and green guards tinged with magenta at the ends adorn its torso, resembling a dress.

Iron Valiant is mentioned in what is presumably the paranormal magazine "Occulture", described as being similar to an invention created by a mad scientist.
