Iron Moth (Japanese: テツノドクガ Tetsunodokuga) is a dual-type Fire/Poison Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be a futuristic relative of Volcarona.
Biology[]
Iron Moth is very similar if not outright identical to Volcarona in appearance, resembling a robotic moth. It has four small "feet", red compound eyes, red horns on the sides of its head, and white armor plating covering its thorax. Its abdomen is black and light blue with two black diamond spots on the outside. It has six diamond-shaped wings that are mostly orange with white speckles and a single black triangle marking, which levitate a short distance away from its body.
According to the paranormal magazine "Occulture", it sporadically descends from the skies to attack random people for no clear reason. The magazine claims that Iron Moth may have been sent by aliens to spy on humanity.
Trivia[]
- Currently, out of all Paradox Pokémon, Iron Moth is tied with Slither Wing for having the smallest increase in base stat total from its apparent relative, with an increase of 20 points.
