Iron Head or Iron Tail for Garchomp in BDSP?

Jan. 18, 2022

I’ve recently gained access to the two locations to catch Gible and I was wondering which move is more viable when it evolves: Iron Head or Iron Tail? Both are good Fairy- and Ice-type coverage so I want to know which move is more suitable for my future Garchomp. :)

First let’s take a look at both moves.

Iron Head-Base 80 power100% accuracyHas 30%chance to flinch

Iron TailBase 100 power75% accuracyHas 30% chance to lower Defense

It may seem like Iron Tail is better but Iron head is ‘superior’ to Iron Tail for one main reason:Accuracy.Accuracy is important because if you are In a close match against an Ice-/Fairy-type, Iron Head can get you the win because it is accurate. Iron Tail is not accurate hence you may lose.
