To unlock Iron Boulder in Indigo Disk, you must first find Perrin at the Gangway at Blueberry Academy's entrance, where you will spot her with a Hisuian Growlithe. She will task you with recording 200 Pocket Monsters on the Blueberry Pokedex. Once you have completed this feat, revisit her to unlock access to Iron Boulder and Iron Crown.

Catching Iron Boulder is just like any other Legendary Pokemon. Throw a couple of Quick Balls to try your luck. If these are unsuccessful, use a status effect like Paralysis or Sleep to make the critter increase your catch chances. You can also draw out the battle using False Swipe. This will lay the groundwork for you to use a Timer Ball on Iron Boulder.

Iron Boulder in The Indigo Disk of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is a Rock and Psychic-type Pocket Monster with the following base stats:

• HP: 90
• Attack: 120
• Defense: 80
• Special Attack: 68
• Special Defense: 108
• Speed: 124

Iron Boulder, like other futuristic Paradox forms, has the ability Quark Drive, which boosts its highest stat when Electric Terrain is active or when the critter is holding a Booster Energy.

Iron Boulder's signature move is Mighty Cleave. This is a 95-base power Rock-type Physical attack. Its specialty is that it bypasses the effects of Protect, Detect, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, Baneful Bunker, Silk Trap, and Burning Bulwark. However, it does not lift the effects of these moves.
