Iron Leaves Movesets and Best Builds
Kingambit is able to face Iron Leaves as its typing allows it to match up against the raid boss. Being a Dark and Steel-type Pokemon, Kingambit is immune to Iron Leaves' Psyblade, resists Leaf Blade, and takes neutral damage from Megahorn.

Gholdengo is also able to stand against Iron Leaves during Tera Raids as its Steel and Ghost typing helps it resist all of Iron Leaves' attacks which are Psychic, Grass, and Bug-type moves. It is also able to use a STAB-boosted Shadow Ball, which is super-effective against the raid boss.

Iron Leaves, during the Tera Raid, had a Psychic Tera Type and not its regular Psychic and Grass typing.
Due to this, Iron Leaves' weaknesses during the raid were Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type moves. Dark-type attackers needed to proceed with caution however, as Iron Leaves had Megahorn during the raid which was super-effective against them.
For the Iron Leaves Raid event, Iron Leaves was Shiny Locked. There is currently no legitimate way to get a Shiny Iron Leaves, but may change in the future, most probably as part of the DLC.
Can You Get Shiny Iron Leaves?
Paradox Pokemon currently have no way to breed, and will not produce eggs, even when paired with a Ditto.
As with most special Tera Raid Pokemon, you can only catch one Walking Wake and Iron Leaves per game.
You could still participate in Tera Raids with these Pokemon and get rewards, but you could only catch one Walking Wake and one Iron Leaves on your game.

The Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid Battle Event was one of many surprises announced on Pokémon Day, and perhaps the most surprising thing was it kicked off right away. From Feb. 27 until Mar. 12, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players will be able to encounter them as many times as they like—earning plenty of high-tier rewards in the process.

But does that also mean you can catch more than one of them to store or even trade with friends?
Image via Game FreakLike other Tera Raid Battle Events, including Unrivaled Charizard and Unrivaled Pikachu, players can only catch one Walking Wake or Iron Leaves. Catching additional ones is not possible.
As mentioned above, players will still be able to take part in as many Walking Wake or Iron Leaves raids as they like whether it’s to help their friends catch Walking Wake or Iron Leaves or farm items, but they won’t be able to catch it themselves.
Those who miss out, however, might have a chance to catch Walking Wake or Iron Leaves down the road if the event happens again—but only if they haven’t caught it the first time around.
If Nintendo and Game Freak allow them to spawn in certain zones once the event is over, it might be possible to catch more, but that hasn’t been confirmed, so it seems unlikely.
