As those who have made it late into the story of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet by now, Paradox Pokemon are essentially prehistoric or futuristic versions of present-day Pokemon - trapped out of time in Scarlet or Violet respectively. 

Iron Hands is one of them, its location is the area of Research Stations 1, 2, and 3 within The Great Crater of Paldea - known as Area Zero. Specifically, Iron Hands can be found around the cliffs of that area. Once you have completed all three major story paths in the game; the gym path, the Titan Pokemon path, and the Team Star path; and beat the game overall, Area Zero will become accessible to you. 

Keep in mind, though, that Iron Hands is exclusive to Pokemon Violet. While this makes sense, given it's essentially a sci-fi cyborg, this means Pokemon Scarlet players can only get Iron Hands through trading. 

That is everything you need to know about Iron Hands Pokemon Scarlet and Violet location. If you're still filling your Pokedex, be sure to learn how to evolve Pawmo into Pawmot.
