How to Get Walking Wake & Iron Leaves (April 25 - May 5th 2024) in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

[@AustinJohnPlays]

For the newest raids April 25 - May 5th 2024 there is a 3% chance to get Salty Herba Mystica upon defeating either of them. As always, only one catch per profile regardless if you did this raid before.

[@Nekomon42]

I am so thankful for this video. I didn't know how to get the event raids to show up. Had no idea you needed to go to the Mystery Gift area of Poke Portal to check news. I missed out of the first 2 events for my game's Pokemon since I had been focused on other things and needed to do this. Sadly I don't have Violet or Nintendo Online, so no Iron Leaves for me, but my brother has Violet so I can see about doing some version exclusive temporary trades later. I also got the 3% Salty Herba drop!

[@lucywentz4840]

The dedication to accurate information on this channel is genuinely amazing

[@jakneez]

But can I PLEASE have one of the Walking Wake? Free egg. You can have a free egg. Or something else. No Skydios though. I like my Skydios.

[@cr_chain]

1:00 why does it look like that

[@AustinJohnPlays]

Woopsie, I just realized that I was looking at 2 pokemon caught from the SAME raid, so OF COURSE it was the same! I just caught them on a 2nd switch from a different raid and the IVs and Nature are *NOT* Fixed. Sorry! It's a crazy day and a lot to cover! That has been trimmed out of the video

[@Shin3y]

@@kaijushaman0679 yes

[@Shin3y]

Hey Austin John, you’re probably not gonna see this, but everyone is NOT getting the exact same Pokémon, the reason the two you caught of each are, is because they came from the same den, this applies to all Pokémon that are found in raids, all members catch an identical mon.

[@Vidaluko]

Yes, mine is Impish in nature

[@rodnythe1]

Yeah it isnt always the same but we can still change the nature

[@TrainerNomed]

My Wake was adamant nature. Scizor helped immensely on Iron Leaves.

[@IANDURBECK]

Both my paradox pokemon shared the same nature but it was sheer luck. No pokemon I have has the same as you

[@ftwalbertor88]

Mine came out timid from Tagtree Thicket den

[@arianaalfonso1380]

For those teaming up for Iron Leaves, the daushbun that was built for the Charizard is a great support. Instantly use misty terrain to remove not only the quark drive ability boost but also the 50% boost Psyblade gets. Then use Charm to lower it's attack. From there you can charm or use helping hand to help offensive members like sizor or kingambit

[@calaverx11]

Late to the party but in case anyone sorts by "new", Scizor is a beast against Iron Leaves. Sword Dance, Iron Defense and X-Scissor and it'll go down in no time.

[@leaferikson4244]

Nevermind I figured it out. Beat it on 2nd try with scizor :)

[@ScottE-2]

Leaving a tip for those wanting to SOLO Iron Leaves: Use Scizor! Iron Defense, Swords Dance, maybe Focus Energy if you really need it and either X-Scissor or Fury Cutter while holding a Shell Bell. Trust me you'll need it. A defensive nature preferably Impish or Lax use a mint if necessary you are going to need all of the defense you got. You can invest or choose not to invest and setup until you are ready to begin attacking. It won't wash away your stats and ability until after 8 turns have passed. Good luck out there!

[@Zolrain]

Gholdengo does the job too. I just nasty plotted to max and slapped it till it went down. I even got unlucky with a leafblade crit.

[@egotrips4810]

This is a nasty Scizor build. Iron Leaves has a 4x weakness to bug + STAB X Scissor + Swords Dance?? I went with max HP/Att for mine

[@FireDNicer]

[@Straitlace]

A note on the stats of the caught raid pokemon, they're only the same for all the users who participated in the same raid, but 2 different raids will produce 2 pokemon with different natures and IVs. Wake and Leaves have 4 perfect IVs as 5 star raids grant, but which ones as well as their natures will vary per player, unless multiple players do a raid together. All players who catch the pokemon from the same raid will receive identical copies.

For anyone struggling with Iron Leaves. Getting rid of terrain asap is gonna be super helpful! I used my dragonite with ice spinner. Getting rid of elec terrain deactivates quark drive and 50% psyblade boost allowing you a better chance to rack up damage!

[@dumdumer892]

The very first thing I did was throw on misty terrain, taunt (if swords dance wasn’t used yet), and reflect. Made staying alive so easy when it was all set up. Even with just the terrain change and reflect since I usually didn’t catch swords dance in time.

I didn't figure this out on my own (thank you people in this comment section), but for Wake all I had to do was use Miraidon. Metal Sound, Charge, then Electro Drift. Miraidon was holding the Clear Amulet. Wake has a dragon type move, but it either never used the move, or the move only does half health. Unsure how consistent it is tho!

[@nevenpatrk9661]

In my completed Walking Wake, I used Max Spdef Max Spa Assault Vest Miraidon with Charge Beam and Electro Drift. Miraidon did a stupid amount of damage, including nearly one-shotting Walking Wake's entire shield and was never even close to fainting.

Wouldn’t it get a STAB buff too for it being a water move? 80 base, + 50% sunny day buff 120 + 50% STAB would be 160?

@@leonlersch close! Percentages all stack. Start with 80 BP. +50% move efffect on 80 adds 40 to make it 120. +50% STAB on 120 is 60, making it 180. Of course, this situation means that Walking Wake is also benefitting from protosynthesis, making an additional 30%. +30% of 180 adds 60 to be 240. Multiply that by two for a Pokémon weak to water!

I just used Miraidon to get Walking Wake (which I had a friend trade over) and then Lokix for Iron Leaves. They honestly did well, but considering they are 5 stars going against level 100s, it wasn't a surprise.

[@nickdejager8873]

Recommendation for Iron Leaf is to get rid of it's Terrain immediately. That stops its Quark Drive and weakens Psyblade, so it does a lot less damage. If you are playing with others, a Flutter Mame with Misty Terrain, Taunt, and Charm can shut it down pretty well. The only issue being the Flutter Mane's Def is pretty poor.

Out of curiosity, why metronome? I ran into someone else using a metronome Lucario and I was trying to figure out what made it better than other moves there.

[@blorgus7521]

Kingambit with 2 sword dance with high attack *chef's kiss*

[@chrayez]

@@kiomoriI believe there is confusion between the move Metronome, which is in no way viable in raids, and the held item Metronome, which boosts a move that’s used multiple times in a row and is quite viable on one-move-spam strategies. If the Lucario user was actually using the move Metronome, I’m guessing he heard “metronome lucario in raids” and went in blindly with the move instead of the item.

[@aloisiosenra]

And yes, I used Gholdengo from the start against Iron Leaves solo. Nasty Plot + Shadow Ball did the job just fine. It took me three tries because of unlucky crits, but when I was paired up with a Intimidate Staraptor, it was over.

[@GEARscience]

I had some struggles getting Iron Leaves, even with Gholdengo and a full team of Kingambit. I finally managed to get it on a full team of random Pokemon by giving my Klefki Misty Terrain. As soon as Electric Terrain was down, the raid went from difficult to super easy. I didn't do much damage, but other people weren't going down in the first few turns, and that made all the difference. Hope this helps someone!

[@FullOedipus]

I love the irony of using charizard for the water dragon, and using fluttermane for the grass psychic. That really made my day 🤣

[@alphastring3619]

Finally, a raid event that Iron Hands can actually handle. EDIT: Also in case anyone is curious, a good choice for the Iron Leaves raid is Kingambit. Since the only move that Iron Leaves has that can even hurt Kingambit is "Mega Horn", and even then it's only does neutral damage. Also, Kingambit can use the move taunt. Which is important in stopping Iron Leaves from setting up with Swords Dance. Here's the build I used, you can change it around If you want: Important IV's: Atk, HP, and Def EV's: 252 in Atk, 252 in HP, and 4 in Def Moves: Swords Dance, Kotow Cleave (or Night slash), Iron Defence, and Taunt. Ability: Either works Item: Covert Cloak, but you can probably get away with running most items on Kingambit. Strategy: Lead with taunt or Iron Defence (depends on if another player has a taunt user). This will weaken the damage that Megahorn does to you. After that you need to use one or two Swords Dances. Generally it didn't seem worth it to me go for three, but depending on your HP and the bosses HP. It may be worth going for. After your done setting up, start spamming Kotow Cleave (or Night Slash) until it dies. (When Iron Leaves resets stat boosts, I recommend going for only one Swords Dance. As it's not worth it to go for more In my experience.) Good luck!

I found Skeledirge (best with Unaware ability) and Meowscarada to be valid options to handle these new pokemon if you are tight on exp candy: Meowscarada's Flower Trick bypasses Walking Wake's Noble Roars with each hit beina a crit. Skeledirge can tank leaf blade and psyblade, stat sp. att. per torch song, and unaware ability helps with the swords dances it does as well

Saw someone on reddit say you can solo Walking Wake with a choice band Meowscarada and Flower trick. Just tested it and it worked first try, it died once towards the end but still managed to beat it. My Meowscarada isn't properly EV trained (most EVs are in attack tho) and didn't have the optimal nature (hasty instead of adamant) so I think it should be a pretty good counter, especially if you have a better one than mine.

I've said this before, but thanks for always making such in-depth, informative, yet somehow straight-to-the-point videos. That's a talent, man. lol You are mine and my friends' go-to for new Pokemon news/events.

[@HijackTheJackal]

Walking Wake makes buying Scarlet instead all the more amazing! What an awesome pokemon!

[@djsteamboat4544]

As usual with the informative and efficiently timed content from Austin. Real question is where is your hoodie from? Because I need that in my life...

[@ItsMikeRothe]

I as well would love to know where you grabbed that hoodie from? 🤔 Appreciate your videos. Cheers!

[@That_Deuce]

These look fun! Hoping for more convergent pokemon in the future DLC along with regional forms, too!

[@jeffdollaz]

This actually got me super excited thank god I got both Violet and scarlet

[@frankmanson3]

So pumped this is coming back! I bought the game about 3 weeks ago, missed all of this. Excited to be able to get both via online! Walking wake looks amazing, excited to see how the other parts of the trio look.

[@Diablocera]

What do you think of the other members of the trio now that they’re out?

[@gagerushing2364]

Fun prediction....the paradox mons in the Violet and Scarlet books are still yet to be out in the game. I do believe those are forms of Virizion and Suicune but I also believe that the rest of the Dogs and Swords will get Paradox forms and then an item to combine all three of each into one pokemon...which we see on the books and are somewhat identical to the new paradox mons but are not the same...I don't think those Pictures were out there by accident and not be out into the game.

[@Vorteri]

For Walking Wake, I used grimmsnarl online with spiritbreak and light screen. Makes Walking Wake hit like a wet noodle, its great. As for Iron Leaves I soloed with Chi Yu. These are pretty fun pokemon so pretty excited to see what the dlc is gonna be like

[@RodimusMinor1987]

That seems risky as it will also lower your allies defence

[@Vorteri]

@@RodimusMinor1987 Chi yu only lowers special defense, Iron Leaves only knows physical attacking moves

[@michaelsuarez3649]

I can confirm that iron leaves is amazing in raids. Swords dance leaf blade 1 shot walking wake.

[@chapablo]

What was your EV distribution?

[@gamester512]

Honestly, all you need for Walking Wake is a Miraidon (so doing the raid online is probably the best option, so that you can get people to join in from Violet and bring their Miaridon). All Miraidon needs to do is use Charge first turn and then immediately follow it with Electro Drift, and you've got an instant one-shot. That's how I got my own Walking Wake earlier, I immediately one-shot it with my Miraidon.

[@dougtheghoul2845]

I used Meowscarada against Walking Wake and Skeledirge against Iron Leaves. Both holding shell bell

[@Vktrdj]

Hey Austin, for Iron Leaves I used Annihilape with Taunt/Bulk Up/Rage Fist with Shell Bell worked like magic!

[@davideostudio2664]

Battling Walking Wake: “Huh, that was surprisingly easy.” Battling Iron Leaves: “Oh Arceus have mercy this was a lot harder!”

[@masterz3992]

That Suicune form better be available in the DLC because I want Walking Wake so bad! I dont have the new gen game yet and wont be able to get it for a while.

[@slackingminotaur8950]

Walking wake is the best of the two. It's just beautiful.

[@DanielGarcia-uz5sn]

Agreed, iron leaves doesn’t look too different to me, aesthetically from Virizion. I know it’s technically completely different but the silhouette is the same to me. I’ve always loved suicune, crystal was my second game growing up and I think walking wake is just awesome.

[@blvck1635]

@@DanielGarcia-uz5sn that’s how all the violet paradox mons are for me they’re practically the same just with a silver coating it’s underwhelming

[@CrimsonCatnep]

Once again, thank you SO MUCH John for your timely and informative videos. You are one of the few people I get my Nintendo news from! LOVE YOUR WORK! KEEP IT UP! :D

[@_Zixen_]

so, Ater looking at the moves of both of the pokemon: for Iron leaves, try using a dark-flying type mon. dark cancels out Physic, and Flying makes bug and grass-type moves weak. then get it to learn dark type moves and if possible, ghost type/bug type moves (since the terra type is Physic). for Walking wake, a water-fairy type is favored (the only one in the game is Azumarill though) since fire and water are both not very effective against water, and fairy cancels out the Dragon (dragon pulse). get it to learn electric and grass type moves, if you can (since the terra type is water). of course, you can use other pokemon- but these are generally the best types to use against them!

[@captainwolfos]

I managed to take out Iron Leaves with my Scizor. Double Team to start, pop a Swords Dance, and go to town with X-Scissor. After losing to it with four different other of my raid ready Pokemon, Scizor absolutely cleaned house. I took both of them on with my sister who has the other version, who doesn't really care that much about raids, so I asked her to take in her lowest level Pokemon so the timer doesn't go down much when it inevitably died. Her level 5 Pikachu with Static actually ended up being really useful lmao.

[@R_V_W24]

For anyone returning for this event, I highly suggest a single strike Urshifu. Do a sword stance into a wicked blow and it's an easy 1/3 health gone (and this was with bot team), do a second wicked blow (assuming it hasn't put a shield up but for me it didn't until after second WB) and then by this point it might have taken tera charge and cleared your sword stance so if you have a shell bell you should be fine for this, but if you use black glasses like I did, maybe have an intentional death; you should have plenty of time left anyway, and then do sword stance, wicked blow, see if you can terastralize to finish it off, if needed that is.

[@iobrestad]

Omg!! With just two hours to go, I DID IT SOLO! Thanks to this video! I’m so happy man🤩🥳🥳 Two days ago I saw this, and didnt even had a level 100 pokemon, beaten the elite four ++.. soooo INTENSE few days of hardcore gaming😂 I FREAKIN’ DID IT WOOP🎉🥳😍🙏🏻

Walking wake gave me trouble since I was in a raid with other people. I still managed to get both. Iron leaves is really easy just use a slither wing with lunge and Tera bug no need to boost stats just use lunge. I like both of these paradox legendaries but wish they had story relevance instead of being just delegated to raids.

[@THGMR-ox7sd]

I also with they had story relevance. I thought they would have a connection to the DLC.

[@BrandonJames2016]

@@THGMR-ox7sdmaybe they will get more elaboration in the third legendary part of the dlc. Cause the book made it seem like they were gonna be fusions but once again it was never confirmed that’s wha they were gonna look like so we might get paradox versions of the remaining trio members of the beasts and swords of justice.

[@the.poodle]

Austin, this Chanel and you has helped me incredibly much in different situations. So keep it upp!

[@absolutecooldown5673]

Pro tip: If you have access to Skeledirge, use Unaware choice specs max special/HP and just click torch song. Heal if necessary but 9 times out of 10 you won't even need to. Works well for most raids that don't clap the Skeledirge.

[@RodimusMinor1987]

Surely after 3 torch songs you should switch to shadow Ball

[@absolutecooldown5673]

@Rodimus Minor for things that resist fire sure, forgot to specify in my comment it was more so for Iron leaves, I don't recommend it for walking wake. However brute force Specs torch song just obliterates most raid mons that rely on set up moves as long as Skeledirge can take the hits, which isn't always the case of course.

[@neobirb8597]

It's crazy seeing the AI in your battle with Iron Leaves stay alive so long. Every Pokémon I, or anyone else had on the field, barring Kingambit would get Oh-KO'd and the match would be over in 4 or 5 turns. Even my level 100 Miraidon would be one-shot by Psy Blade.

[@ElementalHD7]

Walking Wake was super easy to solo with Iron Hands (252ATK). One belly drum, one drain punch to restore the lost health, one wild charge. Two hit KO if you include the drain punch. My Iron Hands fainted with the Wild Charge but it didn’t matter in the end.

[@thomasquirk8797]

Not sure if anyone is still looking for iron leaves answers, but I built a skuntank using screech, focus energy, foul play and taunt 252 into defense 252 into hp and dark tera, worked surprisingly well

[@hypershadicfusionofhope9342]

If anyone is having trouble with Iron Leaves, I heavily recommend Kingambit. It resists Leaf Blade, is immune to Psyblade, and takes neutral damage from Megahorn. I used one with Max HP and Attack investment and Adamant with a moveset of Swords Dance, Taunt, Sucker Punch, and Kowtow Cleave with Electric Seed as the item. Taunt is to shut down Leaves's own attempts to use Swords Dance while you use SD to boost up. Idk if this is consistent or not, but after 3 SDs, I have OHKOd Leaves with Kowtow Cleave.
