If you use the move set Drain Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, and Belly Drum, Iron Hands is able to hit any Pokemon in the game for neutral damage. That way, you can output massive amounts of damage on any physically frail mons! I’d love to see a counterpart for more specially frail ones!
I went with Ice punch too but opted for Earthquake instead of thunder punch. This gives better coverage. All you loose over Thunder is SE to water but you gain more with EQ. But if its a water type ill just use Mori or valiant.
With that set you might as well use the new glove item. It gives 50 percent more damage and prevents contact. I just wonder how it effects vs quark drive

Though, Metronome is a fairly decent item too, however the 40 base damage (which can be boosted up to 80 using said item) on Acid Spray isn't quite that good. Hence, I'd instead run Poison Barb - Modest (252 HP & Sp.A). Basically, open the raid with Mortal Spin, lower the Sp. Def, then spam Venoshock once its defence is completely lowered. Sludge Wave is a great alternative if the mon has already been afflicted by another status ailment ^^
I saw someone use this tech in a raid I was in and immediately knew I needed to do it as well, although they used wild charge to kamikaze themselve, which worked
A major strat you can add on to this if you are missing ohko's is focus energy + scope lens. This leads to guaranteed crits, meaning 1.5x damage that ignores defence boosts and burns. Additionally focus energy does not get deleted by the raid mon when it resets your stats. A teammate can easily trigger quark drive by just bringing a miraidon, but it's only a 1.3x boost- it's not as beneficial as 100% crits.
but then you're using 2 turns for set up, belly drum plus focus energy into drain punch or close combat, the odds of you surviving to turn 3 without attacking are insanely low. base crit doesn't outdamage x4 atk from belly drum so if you're saying it should be replaced you're wrong.

And of course you can always do a heal cheer if you think you will get 2hko post belly drum, as the cheer goes through before the tera mon attacks. tldr: Crit Iron Hands is great but can't overpower a losing MU as easily
For a slow pokemon like Iron Hands, I think the EVs you should focus are HP and Attack. And IMO you can ignore hyper training SpAtk. Great video though, I am looking forward to building an Iron Hands for 5/6* raids :)
Underrated comment. please folks, don't forget to look at the serebii Pokedex before ev training your Pokemon. You're wallet will thank you and so will you're Pokemon.
Another alternative I've seen making its rounds is pure power Azumarill using the same strat. With the doubled attack, azumarill is on par with iron hands but covers a different niche of types

Iron hands doesn't need to hold a booster energy if you're using belly drum cause it maxes your attack stat anyway, your better to hold a sitrus berry.
Here's what happens with maxed Iron Hands in some raids i got: Iron Hands is slower than the boss and i receive alwais 2 attacks before mine, especially from mid fight or when they buff speed. In some cases (this online only), i get even 3 in a row before my action. Each attack on him that isn't guarded by his type will bring him to half hp, which means you are either dead after 1 belly drum or avoided hit atk and bet the next turn. Also the drain punch will heal something nice only if the boss with his shield is weak against fighting moves AND you teracrystalized yourself in time (or he will steal your energy for tera and then it's gg). Every move you do that isn't a Drain Punch with a bit of dmg to heal properly won't make u use other super effective moves either, since you can't afford to waste 1 healing turn to survive the next one. This is why having a support mon with you who will cheer def and will heal/put on additionally light screen or reflect will be massive in those cases. Also i STILL have to win a 6 raid vs Annhilape, he deletes everything i use and it's hard to counter since he's both ghost and fighting type with ghost move to delete his counters.
@@ElikChan Got helped by four guys, with one of them having Taunt to block the damned ape buffs. To this day, i use supports when i don't have the perfect mon as attacker and got good wins, especially when i help Azumarill guys
my iron hands has maxed out HP and attack, fully hyper trained (except for speed and sp attack), has the electric terra type (planning on changing it to fighting at some point), and has; Drain Punch Electric Punch Ice punch Belly Drum (in that order) and i make him hold the boxing glove. the only reason i have him hold that instead of the battery like item is because, although the difference in damage boost is about 20% (the boxing glove only giving you 10%) it also prevents you from getting inflicted with statues from pokemon that you inflict physical contact with (both the damage buff and extra affect only work for punching moves) so abilities like static and flame body don't work on him at all which really helps especially if the raid boss has flame body.

So this is one of the places pushing this "use Iron Hands Belly Drum in all Raids and it'll be ez". Newsflash, it really isn't in most fights - especially when people aren't bothering to do effective type matchups whatsoever. Sacrificng your HP makes you more liable to by knocked out and thus lose time for the raid over and over if you keep knocking yourself out just for a small buff in the long run. Longevity and type matchups should always come before anything risky like willingly scraping your own health pool.
That's why there is drain punch and with 400 attack stack that is boosted it will heal most of it back even on effective it will struggle on resisted attacks though.
Yo! This could be good against the 7 star charizard coming up. He can learn play rough which will be super effective against the charizards dragon typing
My freinds as I found out that the raid pokemon only tend to clear buffs and debuffs once in the raid, so after it clears your stats if your HP is still high enough you should be able to belly drum again and start using drain punch to heal up all over again.
1 year and outdated? I can't kill shit with this Pokemon. He just gets outsped and 1 shot. 🤣 I've cycled through days trying each one and just get fucked cause my team keeps dying and my boosted hits take off like a spec of the HP. And yes I understand counters and everything else. But I see people join my raids and smack the shit out of the mon we're against regardless if its weak to it or not. Not sure what's going on.
Another option for scarlet players to solo the greninja raids is kinggambit, max hp and attack evs and give it snarl, sword dance, iron defense and kowtow cleave
wasn't aware iron hands could learn belly drum. that's broken in all the best ways. I've been using Iron Valiant with drain punch. Moves that drain health seem just about essential for the high tier raids. You can't afford to spend much time knocked out under normal circumstances.
Any tips on solo 6* gyarados? Moxie plus killing all the npcs made him buff up too fast to brute force meanwhile anything that had gastro acid, skill swap etc was too slow to kill him. I know I could skip him but it was a ground type and that seemed like great type for him
Most useful sandwich recipes, I often find myself looking around to find a specific one and I’ve favorited a bunch already but I think a lot of people could profit from a video like that
This is seriously inconsistent in 6 star. Had full teams of iron hand users get quadruple ko'd turn 1 several times today. This is a strat that sounds good on paper but falls apart in practice a lot of the time.
I’m going insane. Electric dragonite. I have followed every tutorial, all my Pokémon r 100 max IVs and even with the belly drum just gets killed by dragon rush every time. Can’t do it solo and can’t do it with team members. There’s nothing else I can do
except for the evs, which you can either train right away after catching, or, feeding vitamines and feathers, you don't have to worry about anything. Because all the other stats, such as IVs and personality can be changed with bottlecaps and mints.
I’d say black belt/muscle band or maybe one of those items that ignores bonus effects like weather/additional move effects. Could even go life orb :p I’d only recommend this if you’re in a party with someone that is using Miraidon, as the additional set up time of using a terrain move + belly drum isn’t ideal.
Question about Booster Energy: Does it get used up, or is it a permanent item? If it does get used up, where do you get more? I've seen wild Paradox pokemon holding it, but their ability activates as soon as I start battle with them...
Not sure about wild encounters/trainer battles. But raid battles behaves the same way online battles do in terms of consumeable items. Berries for instance don’t get consumed/used up permanently after a raid/online battle, same with booster energy. But for wild/npc encounters, I have no clue.
My attack iv is sparkling because it’s maxed but it only shows 309, what am I doing wrong, I have adamant nature level 100, the other stats match except Hp as I need a little more
@@dragonmk123, I understand GU is in the past, but I'm still playing the original game MGU for the 3DS. I injoy playing the games from the past which paved the way for the games we play Today.
I have only 1 Criteria about the Paradox Pokemon. While some look nice with the Tribal or Futuristic Look, some just don't, so far that they don't even reflect the Type they have which is sad
Does Booster Energy get used up after using it once, or does Iron Hands keep it as an Held item? I’m unsure because it always says “booster energy got used up” so I didn’t use it yet because I was scared of wasting it 😅
I’ve used many Pokémon in Tera raids and I can not find a Pokémon to take out gardevoir. I’ve done tera raids with 4 iron hands and gardevoir eats it for breakfast. I mean so far it eats everything for breakfast except blissey who can’t do any damage to it
Is there any reason or logic as to when I use belly drum and then drain punch it doesn't heal me all the way. Sometimes it only goes up a little, but I constantly see these build where people have health go all the way back up?
type matchups keep that in mind... he used drain punch a fighting type move on a normal type terra enemy which means his attack is super effective at +6 cause of belly drum, the more damage you deal the more hp you heal back up thats why, also make sure you still at +6 because often the enemy nullify all your stats back to 0 quite often especially in 6star raids, this build works for most things but dont ever take this against a psychic, fairy, ground maybe even flying type tera raid cause your drain punch will be not very effective so barely do any damage so you cant heal up, hope this helps a bit
You can possibly use one attacker (like iron hands) and one support (something that can lower defense + helping hand, like Lucario) to do even more damage.
Between Iron Hands and Gholdengo, 5 star raids are a joke now 😂 6 star raids of any type are way easier too but you still get the occasional bad roll from time to time
@@christiangill6344 you gotta get lucky with your npc support and hope they don't do much dmg you also have hope you get a support that gives status if you use the hex strat

You'll need fairy it most definitely will have a dragon move
He's not gonna have the stab bonus either
I got a shiny iron hands and I love using it in raids
Going to change Metal Fist to this, my recently caught shiny Iron Hands, first shiny of 2023!
Guess it’s a good thing I got a shiny Iron Hands after all.
Use slowbro for poison and fighting Tera raids.with the right moves and stats he can about 2-3 shot it
I allways saw at least 1 or 2 people use iron hands but I never knew why
My freinds as I found out that the raid pokemon only tend to clear buffs and debuffs once in the raid, so after it clears your stats if your HP is still high enough you should be able to belly drum again and start using drain punch to heal up all over again.
1 year and outdated? I can't kill shit with this Pokemon. He just gets outsped and 1 shot. 🤣 I've cycled through days trying each one and just get fucked cause my team keeps dying and my boosted hits take off like a spec of the HP. And yes I understand counters and everything else. But I see people join my raids and smack the shit out of the mon we're against regardless if its weak to it or not. Not sure what's going on.
For anyone interested:
Violet players offer an iron moth
Scarlet players offer a flutter mane
Code is 5000 6767
Setting your clock back by 1 or 2 minutes will instantly reset both raids and mass outbreaks.
I really wanna beat the Dialga tera raid and this vid helped. Thanks g.
Another option for scarlet players to solo the greninja raids is kinggambit, max hp and attack evs and give it snarl, sword dance, iron defense and kowtow cleave
wasn't aware iron hands could learn belly drum. that's broken in all the best ways.
I've been using Iron Valiant with drain punch. Moves that drain health seem just about essential for the high tier raids. You can't afford to spend much time knocked out under normal circumstances.
Tell that to the 6 star normal tera Umbrion, who just one shot me with foul play 👍
The only Tera raids you can’t solo is Iron Hand’s weakness due to either getting KOed before you belly drum or after before you could even heal
Any tips on solo 6* gyarados? Moxie plus killing all the npcs made him buff up too fast to brute force meanwhile anything that had gastro acid, skill swap etc was too slow to kill him. I know I could skip him but it was a ground type and that seemed like great type for him
Unaware Dondozo
If the raid pokemon is weak to fighting and you have scarlet im pretty sure you can just use your legendary to solo 6 star raids
I did all this and still lose every raid because of the sheilds :(
God damn, he adds the useful information at 3 minutes.
Speed EV is kinda troll but otherwise good vid. 🥶
Can still confirm. Also if you dont want gamble on the trading you can buy an 6*iv iron hands with an adamant nature on eBay for like $2
Before making thunder punch, check his old moves. Mine had t punch in there already
5:29 Please tell me you didn't train his Sp. Atk
Tried it in a ditto raid, i now understand how op that shit is
Most useful sandwich recipes, I often find myself looking around to find a specific one and I’ve favorited a bunch already but I think a lot of people could profit from a video like that
What's a good item to make it hold?
I just finished training up my iron hands and I'm getting absolutely smacked around. I don't get it. What am i doing wrong?
How’d you get his attack so high? I did what you did and mine maxed out at 358
31 IV and 252 EV with adamant nature
Do you get better rewards if you do a raid alone?
No
Thanx again guys, love the vids
I don’t think this would be good against a 6 star annihilape, any suggestions ?
6:45 "The Ally Gardevior has left the area"
This is seriously inconsistent in 6 star. Had full teams of iron hand users get quadruple ko'd turn 1 several times today. This is a strat that sounds good on paper but falls apart in practice a lot of the time.
its because they dont hyper train their hp stat and defense so they die before landing a drain punch to get their hp back
@@monkaW_ Or try it in terrible type matches.
If your pokemon dies in battle, does the belly drum effect will be gone? And have to use again the belly drum?
Yes
Do you have to battle only weak to you bc I’m not able to destroy 6 raids how I am with my Annihilape
I’m going insane. Electric dragonite. I have followed every tutorial, all my Pokémon r 100 max IVs and even with the belly drum just gets killed by dragon rush every time. Can’t do it solo and can’t do it with team members. There’s nothing else I can do
try it with ceruledge
I use that some days and its Not really that op mostly the oponent deleats your bellydrumm buff Just because It can and everything is over
do you have to catch one with ‘amazing stats’ first? or it doesn’t matter?
except for the evs, which you can either train right away after catching, or, feeding vitamines and feathers, you don't have to worry about anything. Because all the other stats, such as IVs and personality can be changed with bottlecaps and mints.
What held item should you use besides the booster energy if I wanna run electric terrain instead
I’d say black belt/muscle band or maybe one of those items that ignores bonus effects like weather/additional move effects. Could even go life orb :p I’d only recommend this if you’re in a party with someone that is using Miraidon, as the additional set up time of using a terrain move + belly drum isn’t ideal.
Iron Hands learns thunder punch normally, you just need to relearn the move if it doesnt have it.
FUNNY HOW ALL THE 6 STAR RAIDS I HAVE ARE SUPER EFFECTIVE TO FIGHTING!!!!
Iron Hands Belly Drum Does work in Most Raids but If the Raid Pokemon has Counter then it just KO's Yo mon But otherwise it Works XD
Question about Booster Energy: Does it get used up, or is it a permanent item? If it does get used up, where do you get more? I've seen wild Paradox pokemon holding it, but their ability activates as soon as I start battle with them...
Mold breaker mons maybe?
You keep the item after a battle
@@Zant582 cool, thanks for telling me
Not sure about wild encounters/trainer battles. But raid battles behaves the same way online battles do in terms of consumeable items. Berries for instance don’t get consumed/used up permanently after a raid/online battle, same with booster energy. But for wild/npc encounters, I have no clue.
@@kirinirlf Wild too, accidentlly used my electric seed when I bumped into something. It stayed.
My attack iv is sparkling because it’s maxed but it only shows 309, what am I doing wrong, I have adamant nature level 100, the other stats match except Hp as I need a little more
You guys haven't made a video about fighting Teostra or Kirin in mhgu. I injoy you monster hunter videos but that's mainly why I'm here.
I'm here for both. Pokemon just came out last week. And mh been out for awhile. And GU is way past you'd want to play rise.
@@dragonmk123, I understand GU is in the past, but I'm still playing the original game MGU for the 3DS. I injoy playing the games from the past which paved the way for the games we play Today.
I have only 1 Criteria about the Paradox Pokemon.
While some look nice with the Tribal or Futuristic Look, some just don't, so far that they don't even reflect the Type they have which is sad
Does Booster Energy get used up after using it once, or does Iron Hands keep it as an Held item? I’m unsure because it always says “booster energy got used up” so I didn’t use it yet because I was scared of wasting it 😅
it stays! single use items just get used once per battle now but stay in your inventory after
@@money2smooth okay thank you a lot!
@@money2smooth does this include berries?
I’ve used many Pokémon in Tera raids and I can not find a Pokémon to take out gardevoir. I’ve done tera raids with 4 iron hands and gardevoir eats it for breakfast. I mean so far it eats everything for breakfast except blissey who can’t do any damage to it
Is there any reason or logic as to when I use belly drum and then drain punch it doesn't heal me all the way. Sometimes it only goes up a little, but I constantly see these build where people have health go all the way back up?
type matchups keep that in mind... he used drain punch a fighting type move on a normal type terra enemy which means his attack is super effective at +6 cause of belly drum, the more damage you deal the more hp you heal back up thats why, also make sure you still at +6 because often the enemy nullify all your stats back to 0 quite often especially in 6star raids, this build works for most things but dont ever take this against a psychic, fairy, ground maybe even flying type tera raid cause your drain punch will be not very effective so barely do any damage so you cant heal up, hope this helps a bit
0:43 "pretty doable, scaled arround level 75ish pokemon" me after i get one shot with a level 100 not very effective move:
Life Orb or Booster Energy for better damage output?
Or team up with a Miraidon using friend and equip the life orb.
It’s both in one.
Would arm thrust be good with belly drum.
if i had 2 switches what would the Strat be. would i use 2 of the same pokemon or maybe get a pokemon that can lower its defence
Im guessing someone with taunt and got lots of hp and heals and other one is just damage
You can possibly use one attacker (like iron hands) and one support (something that can lower defense + helping hand, like Lucario) to do even more damage.
not any 6 star raid, because I tried on a few and it didn't work
Should do video for The Metal Sound, Miriadon Strat.
That's my Favorite 1
so.... not *any* TERA raid, just fighting weak. Got it.
Between Iron Hands and Gholdengo, 5 star raids are a joke now 😂
6 star raids of any type are way easier too but you still get the occasional bad roll from time to time
Foulplay was a problem...
until I equipped metronome ans used focus energy that is...
That’s why i gave all those moves to my shiny iron hands
Title says "ANY" pokemon, I've been lied to
I played scarlet and I found someone on HOME requesting a trade for Roaring Moon (scarlet area zeroi) for an Iron Hands that'd how I got mine.
All I know is killawattrel raids at 6 star with competitive are quite brutal...
How do you feel about the Gholdengo strat?
It's so luck based
@@mischievousfish can you elaborate on gholdengo being luck based?
@@christiangill6344 you gotta get lucky with your npc support and hope they don't do much dmg you also have hope you get a support that gives status if you use the hex strat
@@mischievousfish ahh ok 👍
Heavy slam is pretty nice. Iron Hands is a beefy boy and it hits like a fucking truck against everything not bigger than you.
I'm still a noob when it comes to iv training.
as soon as i used belly drum he nulified the stat changes
So the strategy isn't to beat "Any" raid as stated in the title, but to just reset until you find the ideal fight for Iron Hands using the timer reset method... click bait title.
what should i use for evs? like for example iron or hp up can someone tell me
Not beating ghost, fairy and barely flying. And def don't bring to a ditto fight unless you're not the host.
Yes, ditto raids are an absolute menace especially if you prioritise high damage builds
@@christiangill6344every time I see a ditto raid I just bring a ghimmighoul so it only has astonish and tackle
@@Divinity582 smart. I bring magikarp
