Iron Jugulis's combination of good support tools in Snarl and Tailwind, great offensive typing, and powerful Hurricane make it a versatile utility attacker that works well in rain. Snarl provides Iron Jugulis with a damage reduction option that not only supports its team but also gives it a favorable matchup against the likes of Calyrex-S and Terapagos. Hurricane's pairing with rain gives Iron Jugulis the ability to consistently threaten Pokemon like the Urshifu formes and Rillaboom. Tailwind is a strong speed control option to help support both itself and its teammates. The Speed investment along with Booster Energy allows Iron Jugulis to outspeed Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. The defensive investment allows Iron Jugulis to survive Flare Blitz from Koraidon in sun, Moonblast from non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and Thunderbolt from Assault Vest Raging Bolt. Tera Water provides Iron Jugulis with a better defensive typing against matchups like Calyrex-I and Urshifu-R.

Iron Jugulis typically struggles versus powerful Electric-types like Miraidon and Booster Energy Raging Bolt, both of which threaten to OHKO it. Urshifu-R can also be a somewhat problematic matchup, threatening huge damage under rain with Surging Strikes and forcing Iron Jugulis to Terastallize. Assault Vest Kyogre is Iron Jugulis's best partner, providing rain for its Hurricane and benefitting greatly from Iron Jugulis's Tailwind. Kyogre's superb special bulk allows it to become untouchable on the special side when paired with Snarl, and, with Tera Grass, it can reliably deal with Electric-type threats. Urshifu-R is another great partner, as both it and Iron Jugulis are strong weather abusers that appreciate weather control, with Iron Jugulis covering for the Grass-types that Urshifu-R typically struggles against. Urshifu-R is a great beneficiary of Tailwind, which allows it to fire off fast Surging Strikes next to Iron Jugulis to exert offensive pressure. Iron Jugulis also pairs well with Incineroar thanks to Intimidate + Snarl being a particularly strong damage-reducing combination to cover a multitude of threats alongside Fake Out, which allows Iron Jugulis to set up Tailwind safely.

Iron Jugulis's combination of great offensive type for the formats common Grass and Ghost types (This reads weird and you already restate what Hurricane and Snarl threaten respectively. Think it's better removed or brought to the end of the sentence) and great support tools in Snarl and Tailwind make it a versatile rain attacker. Snarl provides Iron Jugulis with a damage control option that not only supports its team but gives it a favorable matchup into the likes of Calyrex-S and Terapagos. Hurricane gives Iron Jugulis a powerful STAB option, its pairing with rain gives it the ability to consistently threaten Pokemon like Urshifu and Rillaboom. Tailwind gives a strong speed control option to help support both itself and its teammates. The speed and special attack investment give Iron Jugulis the ability to get a speed boost through Quark Drive, allowing it to outspeed Choice Scarf Urshifu. The defensive investment allows Iron Jugulis to live Tera Water Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R Adamant Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash with Tablets of Ruin active (This calc doesn't sit right with me because of rain and how Urshifu is called a problem later on. You can do another calc if you find a better one) as well as living -1 Tera Fairy Choice Specs boosted Dazzling Gleam from Flutter Mane. Tera Water provides Iron Jugulis a better defensive typing into matchups like Calyrex-I and Urshifu-R when rain is up.

Iron Jugulis typically struggles versus powerful Electric types like Miraidon and Raging Bolt, both threatening major damage (Bolt does but Miraidon straight up deletes. Can say Booster Raging Bolt and say they both OHKO) onto Iron Jugulis regardless of if it Terastallizes or not. Urshifu-R can also be a somewhat problematic matchup, threatening huge damage under rain via Surging Strikes and forcing out Tera Water. Kyogre is Iron Jugulis's best partner, providing rain for its Hurricanes and being a great combo with Iron Jugulis's Tailwind (I think clarifying Assault Vest Tera Grass Kyogre gets the point across better, because it allows you to highlight the Electric Matchup too, maybe Grimmsnarl over Incineroar for Spirit Break and Screens but that's up to you.). Urshifu-R is another great partner, both being strong weather abusers that appreciate weather control paired with Iron Jugulis being able to cover for the Grass types that Urshifu-R would typically struggle against. Iron Jugulis also pairs well with Incineroar, Intimidate + Snarl being a particularly strong damage control combination to cover a multitude of threats, alongside Fake Out allowing Iron Jugulis to set up Tailwind safely.

Iron Jugulis's combination of great offensive type and great support tools in Snarl and Tailwind make it a versatile rain attacker (? how do snarl and tailwind make it a good rain attacker? change this to smth else). Snarl provides Iron Jugulis with a damage control option that not only supports its team but gives it a favorable matchup into the likes of Calyrex-S (I'm skeptical of this, caly-s outpaces snarl drops with plot or with cm having covert cloak, and boosted draining kiss deals massive damage to jugulis) and Terapagos. Hurricane gives Iron Jugulis a powerful STAB option, its pairing with rain gives it the ability to consistently threaten Pokemon like the Urshifu formes and Rillaboom. Tailwind gives a strong speed control option to help support both itself and its teammates. The speed and special attack investment give Iron Jugulis the ability to get a speed boost through Quark Drive, allowing it to outspeed Choice Scarf Urshifu. (you should straight up mention what Booster energy does tbh, maybe something like "The Speed investment paired with the item Booster Energy allow Iron Jugulis to outspeed Choice scarf Urshifu"; doesn't have to be that exactly but something like that where you still mention the item. Also, how does the special attack investment give a Quark Drive speed boost?)The defensive investment allows Iron Jugulis to live Adamant Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash with Tablets of Ruin active as well as living (you mention this calc but you never mention wo-chien) -1 Tera Fairy Choice Specs boosted Dazzling Gleam from Flutter Mane. (Change this to living neutral Moonblast from non cspecs flutter, it's more relevant) (100+ SpA Raging Bolt Thunderbolt vs. 244 HP / 100 SpD Iron Jugulis: 168-200 (84 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO I also saw this calc, it's an important mention, living av bolt tbolt is really nice) Tera Water provides Iron Jugulis a better defensive typing into matchups like Calyrex-I and Urshifu-R when rain is up. (it's not only a better mu when you're in rain)

Iron Jugulis typically struggles versus powerful Electric types like Miraidon and Booster Energy Raging Bolt, both threatening an OHKO onto Iron Jugulis regardless of if it Terastallizes or not (kinda implies that tera helps you in this mu when it doesn't). Urshifu-R can also be a somewhat problematic matchup, threatening huge damage under rain via Surging Strikes and forcing out Tera Water. (ehhh I'm really skeptical about this. Jugulis is still a pretty big threat to shifu, since it outspeeds with booster, and if you both tera you still kill with 2 hurricanes.) Assault Vest Kyogre is Iron Jugulis's best partner, providing rain for its Hurricanes and being a great combo with Iron Jugulis's Tailwind. Kyogre's superb special bulk allows it to become untouchable on the special side when paired with Snarl, and with Tera Grass, it can reliably deal with Electric-Type threats that Iron Jugulis can't stay in against. (I also disagree with this point. Like I agree that it deals with mirai and booster bolt, but it doesn't really prevent them from doing massive damage and ohkoing jugulis. It wins the 1v1 but it doesn't necescarily help jugulis with the problem) Urshifu-R is another great partner, both being strong weather abusers that appreciate weather control paired with Iron Jugulis being able to cover for the Grass types that Urshifu-R would typically struggle against. (what does shifu do for jugulis?)Iron Jugulis also pairs well with Incineroar, Intimidate + Snarl being a particularly strong damage control combination to cover a multitude of threats, alongside Fake Out allowing Iron Jugulis to set up Tailwind safely.
