[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Band Iron Boulder is one of the best single-button clickers imaginable; honestly, the other moves are mostly decorative. Sharpness- and Choice Band-boosted Mighty Cleave has excellent power and coverage, notably 2HKOing Unaware Deoxys-D and OHKOing most slower offensive Pokemon like Galarian Zapdos and Roaring Moon. Psycho Cut covers important targets like Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Swampert, while Throat Chop reliably beats Gholdengo, and Sacred Sword beats Iron Treads and Hisuian Goodra. Iron Boulder has an awful defensive typing and greatly appreciates being brought in by slow pivots like Manaphy and Corviknight; thanks to its great Speed tier, it can usually force out the wallbreakers that come in on them in return. Iron Boulder also pairs well with other physically offensive threats like Barraskewda and Garchomp that can wear down opposing walls like Intimidate Corviknight with it. Fluffy walls such as Corviknight and Deoxys-D are extremely difficult for Iron Boulder to break past, so a strong Fire-type like Gouging Fire or Ceruledge makes an excellent teammate.

Choice Band Iron Boulder is one of the best single-button clickers imaginable; honestly the other moves are mostly decorative. Sharpness- and Choice Band-boosted Mighty Cleave has excellent power and coverage, notably 2HKOing Unaware Deoxys-Defense and OHKOing most slower offensive Pokemon like Galarian Zapdos and Roaring Moon. Psycho Cut technically isn't decorative, as it covers important targets like Great Tusk and Swampert, while Throat Chop reliably beats Gholdengo and Sacred Sword beats all variants of Iron Treads. No reasoning for EQ? Iron Boulder has an awful defensive typing and greatly appreciate being brought in by slow pivots like Manaphy and Corviknight; thanks to its great Speed tier, it can usually force out the wallbreakers that come in on them. Iron Boulder also pairs well with offensive cleaners like Barraskewda that can take advantage of their walls being cleaved in half by Iron Boulder Arguably the wording is a bit off here, CB Iron Boulder is definitely not the strongest wallbreaker (and doesn't directly break the walls) we have and appreciates other physically offensive teammates to exert pressure onto the walls to get them into 2HKO range, hazards also help a ton for this so might be worth mentioning. Fluffy walls are extremely difficult for Iron Builder to break past, so a strong Fire-type like Gouging Fire or Ceruledge makes an excellent teammate.
