Iron Valiant, a Future Paradox Pokemon, is one of the most sought-after in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. A futuristic version of Gardevoir and Gallade, this dual Fairy-and-Fighting Type features not only a sleek-yet-powerful sci-fi design but also very high Attack and Speed stats. However, Iron Valiant can be hard to find. Let's get into the Iron Valiant location in Scarlet and Violet

Where is Iron Valiant in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

The only location where Iron Valiant can be found is in Area Zero in Pokemon Violet. Since it's a version exclusive, you will need to trade from Violet if you want to get Roaring Moon in Pokemon Scarlet. Specifically, in Area Zero, you need to follow a few certain steps. 

The exact Iron Valiant Location in Area Zero

Firstly, you need to teleport to Research Station 2, go outside, and turn right. Go down the slope, go past the waterfall, and straight ahead over the river. 

Once you're over the river, look for a tree on the left, and the rocks behind it. Look around until you see the subtly hidden entrance pictured above. This will take you to the cave that is the only Iron Valiant location in all of Paldea.

Amongst the various Pokemon in the hidden cave, Iron Valiant is the rarest spawn. There is no need to worry, though.

If you cannot spot an Iron Valiant after exploring the cave, simply leave the cave, go back into the nearby Research Station, come back out, re-enter the cave, and look amongst the respawns. After one or two attempts, an Iron Valiant should eventually appear. 

Iron Valiant's catch rate is higher than normal Pokemon. Still, if you have plenty of Ultra-Balls, Dusk Balls, perhaps use Paralysis-inflicting moves like Thunder Wave, and use False Swipe to get its health down to one HP, catching Iron Valiant should be pretty easy. 

That's all you need to know about the Iron Valiant location in Scarlet and Violet. For even more Pokemon Scarlet and Violet guides, you can be sure to find them right here at GGRecon.
