Catching Iron Thorns in Cobblemon
Iron Thorns has a catch rate of 30, which is very hard by Cobblemon standards. Bring its HP as low as you can without knocking it out, ideally with False Swipe, then apply sleep or paralysis before throwing. Those two things matter far more than which ball you use.
Iron Thorns does not spawn naturally in Cobblemon. No amount of hunting will find one in the wild, so do not burn hours looking. Servers can still route it in through events, missions or monuments, so check the server's own rules and Discord. On TalonMC, legendaries arrive through Legendary Monuments and mission chains rather than random spawns.
Shiny odds are the same for every species, roughly 1 in 8,192 per spawn, so hunting a shiny Iron Thorns is purely a volume game. See shiny hunting.
