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.

The 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.

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.
