The above move set will take you far in Tera Raids with Iron Thorns. Choose Thunder Punch for a stab Electric-type move or Dragon Claw for more coverage. Booster Energy is a must-have held item, as it will activate Iron Thorns Quark Drive ability. Lastly, we recommend the Adamant nature to increase its already great Attack.

At the start of the Tera Raid, use Screech to lower the opposing Pokémon's Defense, then follow up with Swords Dance. Stone Edge should be your primary attack, as it benefits from Iron Thorns Rock-type stab. Pick up Thunder Punch to take out Water and Flying Pokémon, or use Dragon Claw to take out any Dragon-type Pokémon you encounter. Whenever you get a chance, using an additional Screech or Swords Dance is always a good idea.
