Iron Thorns deals damage to an opponent equal to 1/8 of the user's maximum HP when hit with a move that makes [[contact]], after all turn-base damage is dealt.
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move that makes [[contact]], the attacking Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/8 of its own maximum {{stat|HP}}. If Iron Barbs causes both the Pokémon with this Ability and the attacking Pokémon to faint, then the attacking Pokémon will faint first.
 
If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a [[multi-strike move]] that makes contact (such as {{m|Fury Swipes}}), each hit will activate this Ability.
