Lairon questions

Is Lairon a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Lairon joins the collection from the Hoenn gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Lairon in PokéSurvivor?

Lairon is Steel / Rock. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Lairon be shiny?

Yes. A wild Lairon is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Lairon a rift legendary?

No. Lairon can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
