Iron Boulder (Japanese: テツノイワオ Tetsunoiwao) is a Rock/Psychic Paradox Pokémon introduced during Generation IX, in The Indigo Disk.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it is said to be a relative or parallel version of Terrakion.
Biology
Iron Boulder is a spherical, bull-like Pokémon coated in a reflective metal. It has a black, rounded forehead adorned with two brown, rotatable, axe-like horns that curve forward. The edge of the horns and the top of the head are colored bright orange blaze. The horns can transform into cleaves when attacking. Its face is grey with digital orange eyes and a short, metal snout. On top of its head are several short spikes. Down its back are two black, spine ridges that join just past its shoulders. It has a black circle surrounding its head. There are two orange metal protrusions on its shoulders. The orange blaze bands around its legs are the same color as its horns and forehead. It has grey metal hooves underneath these bands. Its striped underside is also beige. The grey parts of its body have several dark grey lines connecting to different parts. It has a short, stubby metal tail.
Iron Boulder stores laser energy within its sharp horns and was said to have once been an ordinary Terrakion modified by a villainous organization. Iron Boulder uses the charged energy within its axe horns to plow through anything within Iron Boulder's path[1]. The name Iron Boulder originated from the mysterious object recorded in Violet Book as it was first discovered in Area Zero.
According to AI Turo, Iron Boulder is a future Pokémon and a relative of Terrakion, However, according to a Turo that did not bring out any Paradox Pokémon yet, Iron Boulder is a parellel version of Terrakion from an alternate timeline. Which of these is its true origin, is currently unknown. It was brought to this era/timeline in the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by the actual Professor Turo ten years ago.
Iron Boulder is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Mighty Cleave.
