This guide will help you find and catch Iron Valiant in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Where to Find Iron Valiant in Pokemon SV?
Iron Valiant’s location is in a Hidden Cave between Research Stations 2 and 3. Iron Valiant can also be found while roaming around Area 4. While a completely random spawn, it naturally occurs for some while. Some trainers have reported using a fairy encounter sandwich to spawn this Pokemon.
On top of that, Iron Valiant is only available in Pokemon Violet, so Scarlet owners will have to trade with someone. This Pokemon can only be caught after completing the main storyline.
Go to the research station building on the map below, enter it, and you will see a green pedestal inside that you can stand on. Once you do, the teleporter will activate and ask where you want to go. Select Research Station 3 from the options.
Exit the building after being teleported, and you will see a giant cave before you. To the left of the cave will be another pathway under an arch. Follow that path until you reach the giant tree and then look at the rocks to the left of the tree.
Behind those rocks is another hidden cave. Just follow that cave path till you reach the waterfall and Iron Valiant should spawn in front of the waterfall.
