Iron Bundle: Delibird’s Ghost of Christmas Future

[@aliastheabnormal]

Iron Bundle is Robot Santa's Pokemon. Created to make sure nobody escapes his naughty list.

[@asterlofts1565]

Or that no one lacks gifts if they behaved well.

[@christianlorre]

It went from Santa to the Robot Santa from Futurama.

[@Unit102ALPHA]

"You've all been very naughty this year! Very naughty indeed! Especially you, Dragonite!"

[@alexj8095]

It seems like delibird turned from the present deliver, into the Christmas present itself!

[@isaiahleach4078]

Gives a whole new meaning to "all I want for Christmas is you"

[@Nor-tc8vz]

"Batteries sold separately."

[@pokedigi1237]

Iron Bundle feels like it was made to deliver presents on the same scale as Santa. The fact that its so fast and that in game you can just naturally find so many of them kind of points to that conclusion.

[@shytendeakatamanoir9740]

The Paradox entries you find in the opposite Dex can actually be in some books found in the Academy Hall (well, at least a few of them).

[@ShayTheValiant]

The book for Roaring Moon/Iron Valiant can be found on the bookshelf behind the whiteboard in the Professor's lighthouse lab.

[@thetankwargunner]

Wow that is awesome. I never knew.

[@quaggotoak]

delibird is such a neat lil pokemon full of personality, and its great that they managed to make iron bundle similar yet distinct

[@GatorEX]

Yeah, I was really happy with how it turn out!

[@FreedomDaveX]

Iron Bundle also resembles a metallic glass ornament. I recently drove past a giant ornament ball that reminded me a lot of Iron Bundle. I really want an Iron Bundle ornament now.

[@foolbait1139]

I just like how delibird confirms the existence of Mount Everest in the Pokémon world

[@omarpride3021]

Iron Bundle is just X Santa from Futurama. He saw everyone as “naughty” to Delibird, and took it out on competitive.

[@RoundPi]

You can say Iron Bundle came to the present with presents.

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

Missed opportunity to refer to Iron Bundle as Delibird's Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. _(Iron Bundle uses Powder Snow as makeshift fog,)_ *_"THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO...!"_*

[@WasteMH]

Very underrated comment

[@shadowsta9]

After the Poképocalypse this Pokémon began bringing gifts of clean freshwater to the good boys and girls.

[@toondrake5964]

A grim possibility is that the future paradox delibird could represent someone making an invention that outcompetes the original delibird in its own niche and tasks, it’s far quicker on its ski-like feet and bound to make its deliveries and saving people, it is more bulkier so it can withstand greater hits from foes who would possibly consume the natural santa-bird, and it can dish out more harder attacks in case of dire situations. It’s also likely it has many other technological upgrades to its system to give it better reflexes and stamina than the normal delibird, possibly putting the original out of any use in the future completely. Alternatively, delibird could have gone extinct in the future and the iron bundle is the next best thing humans could create, but we don’t know much considering these paradoxical Pokémon are shrouded in deep mystery.

[@jolitero]

Something I need to point out is that the supernatural dex entry can still be found in violet. if you explore the school library you can find articles from the tabloid mentioned, which is the opposite version's dex entry

[@Prima_Media]

iron bundles tail resembling a snow globe is so much fun i love its design and lore

[@alaszrar6202]

Theory: all paradox pokemon are created by the will of people who venture in the area zero. The ones that are in the game are different from what we see in the books because they look just how Olim/Turum imagine them from the description given by callugaris. Callugaris unconsciously created them for the first time and Olim/Turum did it again later after reading his story.

[@dreamfirefight9456]

Olim/Turum? This is a typo for Sada/Turo right?

[@tysondennis1016]

Iron Bundle was created by Eggman to enter Sonic’s chimney and flood his house.

[@Tails.ExeInnerTailsTailsDollRe]

I kinda want to see you do more of these with the other paradox mons

[@GatorEX]

I likely will, especially for Pokémon I liked the original forms of. Just doing Delibird bird for Christmas week. 🎄

[@smoldoritochild4136]

I like how every future paradox pokemon is all tough, mean looking and could kill you no problem Then Iron bundle is just 'baby'

[@tysondennis1016]

Iron Thorns is chill and intelligent tho

[@terrysyvertson9205]

it could be possible that the future paradox pokemon are robots because the original species went extinct and people in the future wanted to bring those species back but brought them back as robots

[@spitfire7170]

yeah except Iron Jugulis that one happened when a Hydreigon boned a non-specified robot

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

@@NomadNobi Theory nothing! it's a bullcrap story made up by a hack sci-fi writer and their barely disguised fetish. In truth, nothing in Occulture Magazine should be taken as fact when it comes to these Pokémon.

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

That's pure speculation. In truth, we don't know anything about the Future Pokemon, or any Paradox Mon for that matter. It's also up in the air on whether or not these things even came from the Past or Future in the first place, since some of them were already living in Area Zero decades before the Professor made their Time Machine. That said, Miraidon is stated to have similar DNA to Cyclizar, suggesting it does possess real flesh in spite of it's robotic appearance. and Future Pokemon still possess the biological needs to eat and sleep. So it could at the very least be said that these seemingly fully mechanical Pokemon are a lot more alive than we give them credit for.

I think iron bundle might be a fire department robot, it's already red and it's iron bundle is filled with water, not gifts, it also has the water type, its head being able to stretch maybe could allow it to reach heights and spray water from there.

Iron Bundle is exactly the boosted and strengthened form of Delibird it always desired.

[@Pilachio]

Good ol' Robot Santa. I've always loved Delibird. It has a very fun and non-treathening design, wich is reflected in its bad stats, and not learning any moves by Lvl up. (until gen7, where it starts learning Drill Peck) It ranks fairly high in "Pokémon I'd love to have if they were real" So it's cool that it got some love and has now a version that packs a punch.

[@timotheninja]

Iron Bundle's probably my favorite Paradox Pokemon. I like Delibird's design, but I've never used it due to the fact that it's always such a late game Pokemon. I appreciate that some older, less popular Pokemon got some attention in this generation like Primeape (It's probably decently popular because of the anime, but I never hear anybody talk about it), Girafirig, and Delibird. I think it's funny that Delibird is one of the Pokemon that they decided to make into a paradox Pokemon. This Santa bird with a 330 BST and a grand total of 2 level up moves is now almost as strong as a legendary with an actual move pool and also a robot for some reason. I kind of want to add both Delibird and Iron Bundle to my team, but there are so many Pokemon I want to use I can't decide lol. Also Wasteman's shiny Breloom is awesome.

The Paradox pokémon aren’t from prehistory, nor the future. They were created by a mysterious “disk pokémon”, which is supposedly the third hidden legendary pokémon. This information is available in the academy library, but it is very vague information.

[@Malicious_Spectrum]

Daily reminder that Delibird is a pun on Deliver & Bird. De-lih-bird sounds waaay better than deli-bird tbh.

[@Nmobspawner]

The problem with this is that even if Delibird is known for carrying food and presents in its tail, Iron Bundle actually doesn't have any built-in way (that we know of) of carrying things. It's tail, the "bundle" functions more like an snow machine or a propeller, but there's no signs of it being able to carry anything but cold water. So it doesn't seem like Iron Bundle would be any good at delivering things... I mean, it it was artificially made specifically to deliver stuff, wouldn't it be weird to get rid of the original's ability to have storage space ?

[@alessandrosimonguerreroseg8651]

I saw a video that theorized about future paradox pokemon and it mentioned that Iron Bundle could be designed to deliver drinking water or even be able to purify water in a future where it's pretty scarce, I like to think that's why it's so Op since gonna need being fast to deliver and also a combat protocol to defend the precious cargo.

[@diegotimon4570]

Quick theory that I believe (not my original): The paradox Pokémon are not real, and the time machine is not a time machine, but something else. All the paradox are based on steriotipical tropes of the past and the future, not like the creative desing that Game Freak can do. So what if they are creations of the profesors (somehow)? At last, the name. Paradox. If you know how a time paradox works, you know they are not that. They could be an existencial paradox: They are not real, but... they are, you can touch them, catch them, befriend them. Edit: Forgot something. You know the gimmik of the game, rigth? Terastalization? The thing that makes you change your Pokémon's type? The thing that can... bend reality?

[@MagicalBread]

“Ancient civilization”. The future paradox Pokémon are probably from so far in the future, so any time period over 2000 years would be “ancient”.

[@FatMarioHeads]

Thousands of years ago *fog*

[@flaregamer64]

I feel like Iron Bundle represents how jobs like parcel delivery are being replaced by robots in the real world. The Pokemon Universe equivalent of Amazon would probably replace all its real Delibirds with Iron Bundles as they would be fast. Also similar to how there are some automated fast-food robots or packaging robots which are making some jobs redundant irl.

[@PJNyte]

Wow, I didn't know iron bundle had those stats. I assumed it had delibird lv stats

[@WasteMH]

It got banned pretty quickly from OU. Thing was a monster

[@dewott3754]

All the Paradox Pokemon have high bsts

[@WasteMH]

Even with that in mind, Iron Bundle was very strong. Compared to the other paradoxes, only Flutter Mane was close to as unrealistically strong (and in Flutter Mane's case it was because it was even better)

[@NG-gy6iv]

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal

I think the Pokedex entry of all Paradox pokemon make just no sense. All of there descriptions are wrong, because in the present we don't have any data for the Paradox Form so the Pokedex took the occult journal for reference the ONLY thing in Paldea who try to describe them. When I think aboug it it's like the Pokedex description of the Fossil Pokemon of Galar. There description are wrong to in those games and the Pokedex try to improvise description but it's not making any sense to.
