Iron Head Effect

Has the user charge in the designated direction, dealing damage and shoving opposing Pokemon with its steel-hard head. If this move is used again, the user leaps toward opposing Pokemon in front of itself, leaving them unable to act and dealing damage multiple times while restoring the user’s HP.

How to Use Iron Head

Control Movement With Iron Head

Apart from dealing damage, Iron Head also shoves opponents backwards. Utilize the shoving effect to control the opponents' movement and set up a clean knockout for your team during fights.

Since Solgaleo needs to be at melee range to successfully hit targets with Iron Head, always use Psyshock or Shining Meteor Crush first to quickly get close to opponents before hitting them with the move. Iron Head is best used as a follow‑up rather than on its own, since it’s far more effective when chained into a combo.

Utilize the Follow-Up Attack

Iron Head can be re‑cast to leap toward opponents, stunning them and striking multiple times while simultaneously restoring Solgaleo’s HP. Always use the follow‑up attack to maximize damage output and sustain during fights.

Iron Head Patch History

1.24.2.6 Cooldown decreased from 6.5s to 6s. Duration the second stage of the move can be used after hitting with the first stage increased from 2s to 3s.
