 It is pretty obvious that it's English name could have been based on Iron. Should be added to the trivia. ♢ [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] <sup>[[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]]</sup> ♢ 16:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

+== Sturdy Sandstorm combo? ==
+Over on the TV Tropes wiki, a user proposed that in Generation V, because the "Sturdy" ability now functions similarly to the Focus Sash, there is a potentially deadly combo:
+* Breed an Aron with Sturdy, Endeavor, and equip the Shell Bell on it.
+* Create a Sandstorm in battle, then have Aron use Endeavor.
+** If the opponent strikes first, Aron survives because it's Sturdy and has full HP.
+** Endeavor then reduces the opponent to 1 HP; this counts as damage, causing the shell bell to restore Aron's on HP, potentially back to full.
+** The sandstorm finishes the opponent off at end of turn.
+** Possible to rinse and repeat for the remainder of battle.
+Can anyone verify this?  The obvious counter-tactics appear to be:
+* Pokemon immune to Sandstorm
+* Swipe moves
+* Nullifying either Aron's ability or item prior to attack
+* Whether or not Sturdy works multiple times per battle
