Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A is part of the Lumiose Pokédex at #200. Lairon brings Steel and Rock typing into Lumiose and its Defense stat is the strongest part of its base spread. Rather than treating Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A as another generic Pokédex entry, the useful part is seeing how those pieces work together inside Z-A’s much faster battle system.
This guide keeps the focus on how Lairon fits into Pokémon Legends: Z-A: its typing, matchup profile, base stats, Z-A move pool and any Mega Evolution that can be verified for the game. For Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A, those details matter together because Z-A uses real-time battles instead of the traditional turn structure, making movement, timing and the shape of a Pokémon’s stat line part of the same picture.
Is Lairon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Yes. Lairon is in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and is registered as #200 in the Lumiose Pokédex. That places Lairon directly in the main Lumiose collection rather than making it a Pokémon that only exists outside the game.
Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A Type and Weaknesses
Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A is Steel and Rock. That typing determines which attacks can punish it most heavily and which matchups naturally give it more breathing room.
Lairon is weak to Water, Fighting, and Ground. Those are the attack types that deal super-effective damage, so they are the clearest threats to account for when Lairon is on the field.
On the other side of the matchup, Lairon resists Ice, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Fairy, Normal, and Flying. It is also immune to Poison. That gives its typing some matchups where switching or positioning it well can be much safer than simply looking at raw stats.
Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A Stats
Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A has a base stat total of 430. Its standout base stat is Defense at 140, while Speed at 40 is the lowest part of its stat line. That spread gives a much better picture of the Pokémon than the total alone.

For Lairon, the shape of the stat line matters. Attack clearly outweighs Special Attack, so its natural offensive numbers lean physical. Speed is one of the lower numbers, so the rest of the kit has to do more of the work than raw pace.
How Lairon Fits the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle System
For Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A, the important part is how that stat shape translates into Z-A’s real-time battles. Z-A changes the context around Lairon because battles happen in real time. Its low base Speed is worth noticing, but real-time positioning means that number should not be read as a complete verdict on how mobile or useful it can feel.
Lairon Pokémon Legends Z-A Moves
The current structured Z-A record does not expose a reliable game-specific move list for Lairon, so this guide does not substitute a move list from another Pokémon game.
Can Lairon Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
No Z-A Mega form is currently verified for Lairon in the structured game data used by this guide. That does not stop Lairon from being useful in the real-time battle system, but there is no Mega form included here just because the species has unusual forms in another Pokémon title.
Is Lairon Worth Using in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
There are concrete reasons to consider Lairon: a standout Defense stat of 140 and dual typing that creates a distinctive matchup profile. None of those automatically makes it the best Pokémon for every battle, but they give you real reasons to build around the species rather than judging it by name recognition alone.
The useful question is less whether Lairon has the biggest number on a spreadsheet and more whether its typing, stat shape and available moves suit the way you want to play. Z-A rewards timing and positioning in a way the traditional turn-based games do not, so two Pokémon with similar totals can still feel very different once their real battle tools are taken into account.
