Iron Thorns Tier 1 Stall Ability Lock Basic

Iron Thorns ex's Ability is extremely strong in Expanded, since many decks rely on Rule Box Pokémon, such as Dedenne GX, for their draw engines. While its damage output is limited, its Ability lock makes it a relevant force in the format. The deck has shown to be most effective as a Stall archetype (that still has the option to attack), but more agressive builds exist too, though they all, naturally, include a decent amount of disruption.
