Iron Treads

Iron Treads arrived with Temporal Forces on 22 March 2024. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.

What to make of it

Every line below comes from a number. Either it is printed on the card, or we counted it on tournament lists. You will not find a score here — you will find what matters when you decide whether to run it.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • It has an Ability, Dual Core. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
  • It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • None of the 1,351 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
  • Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 1,351 tournament lists we have read, 377 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
  • Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.

What it costs

We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Temporal Forces landed here on 22 March 2024.

In Japan these cards were already in shops on 26 January 2024, under the code SV5K + SV5M. That is 56 days ahead of us.

You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.

Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.

It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
