'''Iron Valiant''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テツノブジン''' ''Tetsunobujin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Fighting}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be a futuristic relative of {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}.

==Biology==
Iron Valiant is a mechanical, bipedal Pokémon whose appearance retains numerous visual traits from both Gardevoir and Gallade. Its arms consists of gauntlets with large magenta blades protruding from the sides, which it can detach and combine to serve as a deadly double-edged weapon. Its head spikes outward twice from both sides and is covered by a green curved piece resembling hair with two cone-shaped structures at the back of its head, and a teal head crest, somewhat akin to a gladiator's helmet. A magenta core serves as a centerpiece on its chest. Five petal-shaped white and green guards tinged with magenta at the ends adorn its torso, resembling a dress.

According to an article from an April issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, Iron Valiant's name is borrowed from that of an object described in the [[Violet Book]]. An unproven theory claims that it is a robot built as the product of a mad scientist's efforts to create the most powerful psychic Pokémon. According to eyewitnesses, Iron Valiant is similar in appearance to both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}. It is also said to be a cruel Pokémon, willing to take its shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Iron Valiant.
** Its types are the secondary types of the Pokémon it is based on.
* Iron Valiant is the only [[Paradox Pokémon]] to be based on more than one Pokémon.
** It is also the only one to be based on a [[Generation IV]] Pokémon.
* Iron Valiant and {{p|Roaring Moon}} can be considered counterparts of one another.
** They are both based on [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.
** They share a base stat total of 590 instead of the 570 found in most other non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} Paradox Pokémon.
** Both are separated from the other non-Legendary Paradox Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] numbering.
** Both are not covered in any editions of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} entrance hall, with the editions covering them being found in the lab on [[Poco Path]] instead.
** They are both the final and highest-[[level]]ed Pokémon used by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} in their first {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as the only Pokémon on their team with the held item [[Booster Energy]].
* Although Iron Valiant can learn {{m|Skill Swap}} via [[TM]], it will always fail as {{a|Quark Drive}} cannot be swapped.

===Origin===
Iron Valiant is based on a fusion of {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, including traits from the [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms of both Pokémon. It also seems to be based on a {{wp|paladin}}.
