Iron Crown (Japanese: テツノカシラ Tetsunokashira) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Paradox Pokémon introduced during Generation IX, in The Indigo Disk.

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

Biology

Iron Crown's blades extending.

Iron Crown is an armored turquoise Pokémon resembling a robotic goat. The eyes are bright digital blue. The top of its luminous head has two yellow metal horns similar in shape to drills, with luminous patches that extend from the upper half of the horn. The horns can create two long bright blue blades that can extend before bending at the end. The metal snout is gray, and there is a luminous blaze running from its nose to the back of its head. The back of the head has a headpiece with a circle connected by two rectangle pieces. On its long neck and hind legs, there are small luminous spots. It has several other luminous patches on its body, emitting a faint blue aura. Iron Crown's face, parts of its neck, and underside are grey. The grey parts of its body have several dark grey lines connecting to different parts. On its shoulder blades are yellow metal protrusions that resemble fins. Iron Crown's legs are connected by four-leg armor parts. The lower legs have a luminous v-shape brand connecting to light armor and metal hooves.

It’s said that this Pokémon once mowed down everything around it by launching shining blades from its distinctive horns, but little else is known about it. It’s unknown what kind of Pokémon Iron Crown is. Iron Crown resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the Violet Book. Said object was a cutting-edge weapon shaped like a futuristic descendent of Cobalion. Apparently, there was an incident where Iron Crown used its shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces. Iron Crown was first discovered in Area Zero.

According to AI Turo, Iron Crown is a future Pokémon and apparent relative of Cobalion that was brought to the present in the depths of Area Zero through the Time Machine created by the real Professor Turo ten years ago.

Iron Crown is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Tachyon Cutter.
