What it does

Holder is grounded, Speed halved. If Flying type, takes neutral Ground damage.

Who holds it

26 of the 282 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder hold Iron Ball. The one that matters most is Sneasler, which is on 20.9% of teams and holds it on 2.7% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Iron Ball accounts for an expected 0.01 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 25th most-brought of the 27 items this format runs. 48% of that comes from Sneasler alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its holders are mostly Psychic (6), Fighting (5) and Fairy (4).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.
