What is Iron Crown’s signature move?

Iron Crown has a signature move that no other Pokemon can learn, called Tachyon Cutter. It’s a Steel-type special attack that does 50 damage, but it never misses, and it always hits twice.

This makes it a fantastic counter for Pokemon using Substitute, or Substitute-like abilities, very characteristic of Mimikyu. In addition, Iron Crown learns Tachyon Cutter at Level 56.
