The Iron Ruins (Japanese: くろがねのいせきIron Ruins) is a special room in Iron Island in Pokémon Platinum. It is located in the cave system's exit room. It is called the Iron Ruins because it is the home of Registeel, the Iron Pokémon.
Normally, if the player enters the cave, it is empty. However, after entering the Hall of Fame, if the player has a fateful encounterRegigigas in their party, there will be a 7-dot pattern on the floor and a statue on the back wall.

A Registeel appears here after stepping on all 7 dots on the floor and interacting with the statue on the back wall. If defeated or run from, it respawns upon leaving the area.
The Iron Ruins appeared in Steeling Peace of Mind! and Saving the World From Ruins!. Unlike in the games, they have no connections to Registeel in the anime, but rather Dialga and Palkia. Team Galactic conducted experiments at the ruins in order to locate the Spear Pillar on Mount Coronet, which also caused all of the Steel-type Pokémon on the island to go berserk. When Mars placed the Spear Key into a stone pillar, a beam of energy shot out of the ruins and struck Mt. Coronet, allowing Team Galactic to start scanning it in order to locate the entrance to the Spear Pillar. However, due to the efforts of Ash and his friends, the machine used to run the experiment was destroyed when the scan was only 60 percent complete.
Afterward, Cyrus gave the order to blow up the ruins, as they served no purpose to Team Galactic anymore. As a result, Mars and the Team Galactic Grunts present were able to escape without getting caught. From a safe distance, Mars tried to detonate the bomb, but Riley and his Lucario used their Aura powers to contain the explosion and move it harmlessly into the sky. Later, Professor Carolina arrived at the site with her research team to conduct her own research on the site.
