There are a total of seven Steel-type moves in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and they all can be used to great effect in battle. With the change in how stat raising moves work, as well as many changes to the secondary effects of attacking moves, many recurring moves work even better in the game. The best moves depend on the Pokémon learning it, but generally, they areSteel Beam and Iron Head. There are many choices, however, so weighing your options is important.
Physical Steel Moves
An argument can be made for usingIron TailoverIron Headbut more often than not, Iron Head is the better choice. The move has more PP than Iron Tail and has 100 Accuracy. Secondary to both of these,Bullet Punchis a low damaging Steel-type move that will raise the user’s Action Speed. Combined with Agile Style, this move can make even the slowest Pokémon able to move multiple times in a row.
