Items

Iron Tail is a strong Steel-type move, but suffers from relatively low accuracy.

Item Location
Rare Bone Go up the slope that’s adjacent to the underground stream, on the Training Lowlands side. On the left, there’s a small area with a rocky pillar in the center and a roaming "Druddigon" IconDruddigon. Go behind the pillar and you’ll find it next to a rock in the far corner.
TR31 Iron Tail Continue to the top of the slope. Up ahead, there’s a Pokémon Den. Head for the den and you’ll find this item above it.
Iron After going up the slope, turn left and go across the natural bridge. You should spot this item on the right, in front of a row of boulders.
