What Nature Is Best for Iron Moth in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? Answered

The best nature for Iron Moth is Timid because its already excellent Special Attack gets boosted even more by Fiery Dance and Quark Drive. Unlike Volcarona, this Pokemon doesn’t learn Quiver Dance, but the extra Speed points from a Timid nature allow it to attack first in many situations.

Iron Moth has trouble with Earthquake and Headlong Charge, but you can Terastallize it into a Bug-type and turn your weakness into a strength, plus attack with Bug Buzz for STAB and maintain a blistering pace in battles.

Other good moves for Iron Moth include Morning Sun for healing, Sludge Wave for Poison STAB, and Air Slash. This Pokemon is great against Steel-types and even better against Fairy Pokemon with Fire and Poison resisting Fairy-type. If you control Iron Moth’s weaknesses well, it’ll cause serious problems for your opponents.
