PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure

Iron Tail is a move learnable by Pikachu in PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure. Pikachu does not know the move at the beginning of the game, it must be taught to him by Primeape for a cost of 350 Berries . Unlike Dash and Thunderbolt, this move cannot be used outside of battle. It can be used by shaking the Wii Remote during battle. The move's power is upgradeable by returning to Primeape and paying more Berries.

Trivia

  • Despite the narrative implying the need for a tail to perform this attack, Pokémon that lose their tails when they evolve (such as Primeape) or do not have a tail but gain one upon evolution (such as Rhyhorn) can still learn and use this attack.
  • Iron Tail's description in-Bag as a TM differs from the descriptions on its user's attack listing, saying "The foe is slammed with a sturdy tail of steel." instead of "The foe is slammed with a steel-hard tail."
  • Iron Tail is one of the most commonly known moves in the anime, known by at least 54 different Pokémon.
