Stats and Stat Score
Lairon has 97 HP, 95 speed and a 1.20x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is below average, its speed is among the lowest on the roster and its attack is about average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 44.5, which puts it at rank 579 overall, rank 73 of 135 among Hoenn Pokemon and rank 38 of 61 Steel-types and 40 of 66 Rock-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Lairon moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Lairon starts every run with Metal Claw: a steel swipe in an arc.
The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Steel moves: Metal Claw, Flash Cannon, Meteor Mash
- Rock moves: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
Weaknesses and resistances
Lairon takes extra damage from Fighting (2.4x), Ground (2.4x), and Water (1.6x). It resists Poison (0.3x), Normal (0.36x), Flying (0.36x), Ice (0.6x), Psychic (0.6x), Bug (0.6x), Rock (0.6x), Dragon (0.6x), and Fairy (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Lairon are the ones whose first type is Fighting, Ground, or Water, which hit for up to 2.4x. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Steel or Rock moves do not hit harder just because Lairon shares the type.
How to get Lairon
Lairon is part of the Hoenn banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (17% for Rare) and then picks one of the 44 Rare Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Lairon a 0.39% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 259 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 60 coins, or 180 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
A rarity-3 Pokemon like Lairon can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.
Shiny Lairon exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Lairon as an enemy
Lairon can show up as a regular enemy from 2:40 into the run (enemy tier 3). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is charger: it stops to aim for about half a second and then dashes in a straight line at more than three times its walking speed.
