Summary

  • Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is giving away a Paradox Pokemon as part of the 2024 Pokemon Europe International Championship.
  • The Paradox Pokemon can't be bred, so they must be caught manually, but giveaways in the game offer other chances to acquire them.
  • The Paradox in question is The Iron Hands, a competitive Pokemon with the same moves and stats as Marco Silva's winning Pokemon.

Gamers have a unique chance to receive a free Iron Hands, one of various Paradox in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but they must act fast, as it'll only be available for a couple of days. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced players to Paradox Pokemon, close relatives of contemporary Pokemon with different type combinations and a similar yet alternative appearance.

If a Pokemon is breedable, it'll be much easier to get it via trade, as many players will be trying to get rid of their breedjects (Pokemon with low competitive value). Unfortunately, that is not the case with Paradox Pokemon, as it is impossible to breed them. This means that each Paradox Pokemon needs to be manually caught. Thankfully, giveaways are relatively common in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and players oftentimes have the opportunity to acquire version-exclusive Pokemon that way.

On top of this, Iron Hands has the same moves and stats as Marco Silva's Iron Hands. With the help of this Pokemon, Silva managed to win in the Masters Division at the 2024 Pokemon Latin America International Championship. Everything about the giveaway's Iron Hands is based on Marco's, even its Tera Type, held item, and original trainer name. This is a Pokemon that's ready to hit the battlefield and take down the competition.
