Iron Thorns is a Rock/Electric-type Pokémon (National Dex #995) with a high stat total of 570. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Scarlet & Violet, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack at 134, which makes it a slow but heavy-hitting attacker. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Iron Thorns takes super-effective damage from Ground at 4×, and Water, Grass, Fighting at 2×. It resists Normal, Fire, Electric, Poison, Flying. Its ability options are Quark Drive.
In-game, Iron Thorns has 2 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (2) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Iron Thorns ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
