There are many different moves to learn and teach your Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet. Many can be learned naturally, but you can speed this process up with TMs. One defensive move that is great for stalling teams and wall Pokémon is Iron Defense. This may leave you wondering how to find the Iron Defense TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Where to find the Iron Defense TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

The Iron Defense TM can be found in four locations in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. After you have gathered this item, you will be able to craft Iron Defense TMs at the TM Machines at Paldea Pokémon Centers. Here is where you can find the Iron Defense TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and maps showing the locations.

East Province (Area One)
East Province (Area Three)
South Province (Area Five)
Glaseado Mountain

Iron Defense will raise a Pokémon's Defense by two stages, making them harder to defeat with physical moves. After finding one TM, you can then craft as many as you want. It will cost 1,500 League Points, 3 Pineco Husk, and 3 Bronzor Fragments.
