Violet Paradox Pokémon Iron Treads

Discover how to find and catch the Violet exclusive Paradox Pokémon, Iron Treads, in Area Zero. Get tips for locating this futuristic Pokémon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Alright, so you're looking to snag yourself an Iron Treads in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Awesome choice! This is one of those cool, futuristic Paradox Pokémon that you can only find in the game. Think of it as a souped-up, robotic version of an old favorite, but with a unique twist. You'll actually see Iron Treads before you can catch it, as it was one of the Pokémon you battled during the Path of Legends questline when you took on The Quaking Earth Titan. Pretty neat, huh?

Before you can even think about catching any Paradox Pokémon, you'll need to have access to Area Zero. This is the big crater smack-dab in the middle of the Paldea region. To get there, you gotta finish up the main story quests first: Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends. Once all that's done, you can head back to Area Zero anytime you want by using the fast travel option from the Zero Gate. Easy peasy.

Now, for the good stuff: finding and catching Iron Treads! Your best bet is to head into the cave system within Area Zero. Look for the entrance near Research Station No. 3 – it's pretty hard to miss. Once you're inside, you'll find Iron Treads hanging around all over the place. Keep an eye out, because you'll also spot a bunch of Iron Bundles and a few Iron Jugulis chilling on the ground floor too. Just wander around the paths in the cave, and you'll be bumping into Iron Treads in no time!
