Few Pokemon outrun Iron Bundle without a Choice Scarf. Ice/Water typing gives it solid coverage options. Only weak to Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Rock. Introduced in Gen 9. Known as the Paradox Pokemon.
Speed leads and HP gets almost nothing. That's Iron Bundle's stat line in a nutshell. 4 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Tough to catch and yields 3 Speed EVs.
Iron Bundle Weakness
VulnerableIron Bundle's Ice/Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Rock moves. Iron Bundle's physical bulk (base 114 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
You won't breed Iron Bundle or evolve it further. This Ice/Water type brings 570 total stats right out of the encounter.
How to Evolve
Quarkdrive isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Booster Energy for a one-time stat boost from its ability and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs, Iron Bundle fills the special attacker slot reliably. Timid nature finishes the spread.
