Generation 5

For food, it digs up iron ore. It smashes its steely body against others to fight over territory.

Black 2, White 2

Lairon fight over territory, and when their steel bodies collide, sparks fly.

Generation 6
X

It loves iron ore. Groups of them fight for territory by bashing one another with their steel bodies.

Y

It habitually shows off its strength with the size of sparks it creates by ramming its steel body into boulders.

Omega Ruby

Lairon tempers its steel body by drinking highly nutritious mineral springwater until it is bloated. This Pokémon makes its nest close to springs of delicious water.

Alpha Sapphire

Lairon feeds on iron contained in rocks and water. It makes its nest on mountains where iron ore is buried. As a result, the Pokémon often clashes with humans mining the iron ore.
