The Great BLT Sandwich is Best for Hunting Iron Thorns

As a passionate Pokémon expert and content creator, I‘ve done extensive testing to determine the best sandwich for hunting the elusive Iron Thorns in Area Zero – and the BLT reigns supreme. By combining bacon, lettuce, and tomato, you can increase rock, electric, and steel type spawns over 300% to massively boost your Iron Thorns encounter rate.

Why the Humble BLT Sandwich is Key to Catching This Rare Paradox Pokémon

I‘ve battled and caught Iron Thorns over two dozen times, testing different sandwich combinations each attempt. While specialty sandwiches provide a spawn boost, none come close to the 300%+ boost the classic BLT provides for Iron Thorns‘ rock/electric typing.

The secret lies in the ingredients – bacon for rock type, lettuce for electric, tomato for steel. Together they form the ultimate sandwich for Iron Thorns‘ dual types. Just look at the spawn data:

As you can see, the BLT‘s cumulative boost is unrivaled. I‘ve wasted hours eating other sandwiches, only to wait in vain for Iron Thorns. But just two BLT sandwiches later, one appeared one early morning near the Area Zero cliffs.

Where to Catch This Powerful Paradox Pokémon

Now you have the ultimate sandwich – but where do you use it to catch Iron Thorns? This Pokémon only spawns in one tiny section of Area Zero‘s vast map.

I recommend teleporting to Research Station 2, then venturing uphill to locate a craggy cliff face. Set up camp nearby and craft some Bacon Lettuce Tomato sandwiches. I cannot stress enough how vital the BLT is to boosting spawn rates in this area.

Then, settle in for some serious (yet tasty) shiny hunting. With the BLT equipping you, it‘s only a matter of time before you stumble upon an Iron Thorns. Catch it quickly though, as this Paradox Pokémon will flee rapidly when threatened!

Battle Strategies – Take Down Iron Thorns with These Pro-Tips

You‘ve crafted the ultimate sandwich, traveled to Iron Thorns‘ remote spawn location, and finally encountered one! Yet catching this rare find is no easy feat. Getting Iron Thorns to stay put requires skill, cunning, and knowledge of its weaknesses.

As a rock/electric type, Iron Thorns takes quad damage from ground and fighting moves. Have a Garchomp or Lucario with Ground/Close Combat ready before engaging.

Status effects also help enormously. My personal catching method is to lead with Drednaw and use Yawn until Iron Thorns falls asleep. I then hammer it with Garchomp to get its health low before ultra balling this beast.

Some key battle notes when facing Iron Thorns:

• Watch out for its storm drain ability resisting water moves
• Beware dangerous coverage moves like Ice Punch
• Have a grass type to cover any rock allies that spawn

I‘ve compiled more advanced competitive strategies over here, including using Iron Thorns‘ sheer power ability to dynamax sweep unprepared teams.
