Iron Jugulis's Dark/Flying typing gives it an immunity to Ground and Psychic. The 4 weaknesses are the tradeoff, but that immunity creates real opportunities. Known as the Paradox Pokemon. The stat spread leans into special offense.
Iron Jugulis's built around special offense. Sp. Atk leads the charge, Attack pays for it. Tough to catch, worth 3 Sp. Atk EVs. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Iron Jugulis Weakness
GoodElectric, Ice, Rock, and Fairy-type moves hit Iron Jugulis for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Psychic-type moves can't touch it at all.
At 570 base stat total, Iron Jugulis hits hard for a Dark/Flying type. No evolution chain and no egg group, just a straight pickup.
How to Evolve
The recommended build leans into Iron Jugulis's strengths as a special attacker. Booster Energy provides a one-time stat boost from its ability, and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs back that up. Quarkdrive rounds out the package.
