Iron Thorns
Stall
Iron Thorns ex
's Ability is extremely strong in Expanded, since many decks rely on Rule Box Pokémon, such as Dedenne GX
, for their draw engines. While its damage output is limited, its Ability lock makes it a relevant force in the format. Iron Thorns ex can either be played by itself as in
Quad Thorns, or in combination with partners, such as Archeops to power it up (![]()
Iron Thorns Archeops), or Garbodor to supplement its lock.
