Trivia

• Along with its pre-evolution and its evolution, Lairon does not learn any Rock-type moves by leveling up, despite being part Rock.
• Its weight is tied with Rhydon, another evolved Template:Type2.
• Lairon can learn the signature moves of both Cranidos and Shieldon's evolutionary families: Head Smash and Metal Burst, the former by breeding in HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, and the latter by leveling up.

Origin

Lairon has an appearance similar to that of Placerias, a mammal-like reptile that lived in the Triassic period. It could also have been based on a metallic Rhyhorn.

Name origin

Lairon's name may be a combination of lairy, slang for aggressive, or lair, and iron. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 巨 ko, large, and dragon.

In other languages

• German: Stollrak
• French: Galegon - From gallet (pebble) and dragon.
