Best Counter Pokemon Candidates
For Solo: Unaware Skeledirge Is Recommended
| Tera Type | Nature | Ability | Item | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Modest | Unaware | Metronome | ||||
| HP | ATK | DEF | SP ATK | SP DEF | SPD | ||
| Base Stats | 104 | 75 | 100 | 110 | 75 | 66 | |

Recommended Moveset
Skeledirge’s ability Unaware can nullify the effect of the Iron Leaves’s Sword Dance, making it less likely to be knocked out. After raising its special attack with Torch Song, it should exploit Iron Leaves’s weakness with Shadow Ball. If its HP gets low, you should use Slack Off to recover.
▶︎ Skeledirge Build For Tera RaidThe Fire Terastal is more versatile
If you are looking for a countermeasure against Iron Leaves, Ghost Terastal is recommended. However, changing Tera Type to Ghost requires 50 Tera Shard, and Fire Terastal is enough to complete 5 Star Iron Leaves raid, there is no need to change to Ghost Terastal.

Iron Leaves's Moveset
Iron Leaves's moveset is as shown above. Note in particular that the signature move "Psyblade" is a powerful whose power is increased by 1.5 times on Electric Terrain.
Beware Of The First Move "Electric Terrain"
Iron Leaves uses Electric Terrain in its first move and activates its Ability "Quark Drive". Furthermore, the opponent's signature move "Psyblade" is 1.5 times more powerful on Electric Terrain, so you need to take countermeasures such as rewriting to other Terrain moves.
Challenge With Level 100 Pokemon
Iron Leaves is so powerful that you should raise your Pokemon's level to 100 before you challenge the raid. If you want to join other players' raids, make sure to raise your Pokemon's level.
