I have mentioned that The Iron King was the last confirmed human. However rumours of new, unconfirmed humans circle gossip groups and idle chatter. At the time of writing, the buzz is around The Grove’s Princess Ivy. After conquering the Sands so soundly and so quickly. And bringing never before seen tactics to the battlefield.
In years past, we’ve thought Guild leaders were humans when they managed to push through Slavery reform. We’ve thought local heroes might continue and show their humanity to the world. We’ve even thought the Iron Prince may be one, after becoming the first Mon to ever kill a human.
Our gossip, much like our history. Runs itself in circles. The collective consciousness believes that humans change the world with their actions. And because of that, we believe that anyone that changes the world has to be human.
And thus, the world continues on it’s dysfunctional cycle. I’d like to suggest a new line of thought. Humans don’t change the world, BELIEF does. It is because we force humanity onto great Mons, that we can continue to believe Mons are truly helpless. And it is that helplessness that is exploited by our society, it is what keeps our caste locked in place. Legends of humans aren’t just stories, they are weapons wielded by powers to snuff out resistance. If only one extraordinary human Hero can change the world, the only thing an insignificant individual like you can do is obey.
But if belief can work this way, it can work in the other. That’s why I’m writing this book. If enough people believe they can change the world, then maybe they might start to.
One of the previous comics explained that pokemon moves don't have lethal force behind them. They can only make the opponent faint. Iron weapons, however, can inflict lethal damage on their victims, which is why they're so valued as weapons.
This also takes place in a time period where humans are long gone, and the secrets of metallurgy vanished with them. Nobody remembers how to properly forge iron anymore, so the weapons can't be mass produced.

That does seem to be the case, although it kind of contradicts the pokedex entries. For example, Blastoise's cannons are supposed to be able to puncture steel, while Heatmor's tongue can melt through a Durant's metallic shell.
I suppose we could call it an oversight on the writer's part. Or maybe a creative nerf for the sake of the setting?

Hi, Thank you for being polite talking about this, I'm just gonna leave my two cents. It’s impossible to be compliant with all the lore of pokemon. There is a lot of it, and several different canons. Pokedex entries seem to contradict mechanics, which seems to contradict anime which seems to contradict manga. Not to mention trying to mash in sword fantasy, eventually choices need to be made. IRON is a much lower power world, in the same way the same comic book superhero might fight gods in one series, or deal with street criminals in another. And much like all pokemon games, not all the pokemon are present in the setting. Not just certain types have been omitted, but no object pokemon of any type have ever shown up in IRON. And will never show up, considering how important blood is to the setting. IRON instead sets up it’s own canon apart from the established pokemon canons. There are established facts in this world, like how pokemon fire can’t melt metals. And I try to keep consistent within it’s own canon, but not following the rules of another world. This is on top of mentioning the obvious changes, all pokemon walk on two legs, and rape the shit out of each other.

Yeah, pokemon moves in the manga are far, far more deadly than they are in the anime or games. Just three examples that I personally know of include the following:
1 - Oak's Charmeleon decapitating an Arbok with Slash.
2 - A zombified Psyduck having all its flesh dissolved with Acid.
3 - Brock's Onix being exploded into rubble by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.
In the case of that last example, I think the battle made the sprinkler system go off, so Onix was soaked with water with Pikachu used an electric move on it.
