Iron Leaves is a dangerous wallbreaker and setup sweeper thanks to Booster Energy, Swords Dance, and its ability to threaten common defensive Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Tyranitar, and Gastrodon. With Booster Energy, Iron Leaves is able to outspeed and threaten common Speed control options such as Zeraora, Iron Boulder, and Greninja. However, Iron Leaves's relative frailty combined with its terrible defensive typing renders it prone to being revenge killed by threats such as Shadow Sneak Aegislash and Bullet Punch Scizor as well as common Choice Scarf users such as Mienshao and Greninja. Wild Charge allows Iron Leaves to threaten Celesteela and Skarmory after a Swords Dance. Close Combat is an option to deal with Magnezone and Hydreigon while dealing as much damage to Scizor as possible. Lastly, Throat Chop can be used to hit Aegislash and Latias. The given EV spread ensures that Booster Energy provides Iron Leaves with a Speed boost. Iron Leaves fits on hyper offense teams as an early-game wallbreaker, though it can also fit as a sweeper once checks such as Skarmory and Aegislash are removed. One of the best qualities of Iron Leaves is its ability to threaten Water- and Ground-types, such as Rotom-W, Slowking, and Hippowdon, that check hyper offense staples such as Iron Moth, Victini, and Celesteela. Depending on its coverage, Iron Leaves can severely chip threats such as Celesteela and Mega Latias and thus pave the way for these teammates to sweep late-game. In return, Iron Moth and Victini threaten the Steel types that check Iron Leaves such as Celesteela, Skarmory, and Scizor while Celesteela easily sets up on them. Greninja and Keldeo appreciate Iron Leaves dealing with Rotom-W and Mega Venusaur, and they, in return, deal with threats such as Bisharp and Skeledirge. Alakazam can be considered due to its ability to threaten Mega Latias and Skarmory for Iron Leaves; however, Alakazam tends to make teams more vulnerable to Celesteela due to relying on Focus Blast to break past it. Aegislash greatly benefits from Iron Leaves's wallbreaking abilities and fits well on hyper offense teams as a spinblocker and wincon, making it an excellent teammate. Aegislash also provides useful secondary Speed control with Shadow Sneak, allowing it to revenge kill snowballing threats such as Iron Moth and Blacephalon. In return, Iron Leaves threatens Rotom-W, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon. Iron Boulder and Azumarill can pair well with Iron Leaves to overwhelm physical walls. Iron Boulder threatens Skeledirge and can overwhelm Hydrapple, Celesteela, and Skarmory with Iron Leaves, while Azumarill can help weaken Skarmory and Scizor. Suicide leads such as Excadrill, Kleavor, and Mew make excellent teammates, as their entry hazard support allows Iron Leaves to reach important damage thresholds such as OHKOing defensive Celesteela at +2 with Wild Charge. Sticky Web Ribombee is another lead that fits well as a teammate, as Sticky Web support allows Iron Leaves to outspeed and threaten Choice Scarf users such as Mienshao and Greninja and Excadrill under sand.

Iron Leaves is a dangerous wallbreaker and setup sweeper thanks to Booster Energy, Swords Dance, and its ability to threaten common defensive Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Tyranitar, and Gastrodon. Mention how it's also effective as a BE mon that helps deter speed control like Zera/Boulder/Gren, this is crucial However, Iron Leaves' relative frailty combined with its terrible defensive typing prevents it from setting up without quickly getting revenge killed by threats such as Aeglislash Shadow Sneak specify Aegislash and Scizor. In addition, Iron Leaves is outsped by as well as merge together common Choice Scarf users such as Mienshao and Greninja. Wild Charge allows Iron Leaves to threaten Celesteela and Skarmory after a Swords Dance. Close Combat is an option to deal with Magnezone and Hydregion Hydreigon. Mention doing as much to Scizor as possible too Lastly, Throat Chop can be used to hit Aeglislash and Latias. The given EV spread ensures that Booster Energy provides Iron Moth Iron Leaves with a Speed boost. Iron Leaves fits on hyper offense teams typically as an early-game wallbreaker, although it can also fit as a sweeper once checks such as Skarmory and Aeglislash Aegislash are removed. One of the best qualities of Iron Leaves is its ability to threaten nearly every Water- and Ground-type, such as Rotom-W, Slowking, and Hippowden, that checks Iron Moth I don't like this being the only mention ngl, Victini/Celesteela/Boulder all benefit from this too and there's little emphasis on their roles as teammates otherwise. Depending on its coverage, Iron Leaves can severely chip threats such as Celesteela and Hydregion and thus pave the way for Iron Moth to sweep late-game. In return, Iron Moth threatens the Steel types that check Iron Leaves such as Celesteela, Aeglislash Aegislash, and Scizor. Greninja and Keldeo appreciate Iron Leaves dealing with Rotom-W and Mega Venusaur and in return deal with threats such as Hydregion and Skeledirge. Alakazam can be considered due to its ability to threaten Mega Latias for Iron Leaves; however, Alakazam tends to make teams more vulnerable to Celesteela due to relying on Focus Blast to break past it. Iron Leaves has a massive weakness to U-turn from?. Luckily, Aeglislash Aegislash serves as an excellent abuser that threatens ? switch-in not an interaction worth specifying in particular, given Ho teams don't enjoy switching into hits, especially if Aegi is holding air balloon and fits well on hyper offense teams, making it an excellent teammate. Aeglislash Aegislash provides useful secondary BC this mon is often the speed control for these teams Speed control with Shadow Sneak, allowing it to revenge kill snowballing threats such as Iron Moth and Blacephalon Azumarill doesn't threaten. In return, Iron Leaves threatens Tyranitar and Ting-Lu. Iron Boulder and Azumarill can pair well with Iron Leaves to overwhelm physical walls. Iron Boulder threatens Skeledirge and can overwhelm Celesteela and Skarmory with Rockium Z No need to specify here for Iron Leaves. As Azumarill shares many checks with Iron Leaves such as Skarmory, Celesteela, and Aeglislash, the two work together to weaken each other’s checks. Suicide lead Excadrill would also include lead kleavor/mew makes an excellent teammate, as its Stealth Rock support allows Iron Leaves to reach important damage thresholds such as OHKOing defensive Celesteela at +2 with Wild Charge. Sticky Web Ribombee is another lead that fits well as a teammate, as Sticky Web support allows Iron Leaves to outspeed and threaten Choice Scarf users such as Mienshao and Greninja and Excadrill under sand.

Not ready for a QC: 1/1 yet due to content issues, and the writing could certainly be better. Tag again when this is implemented and I'll recheck.
 
Iride . Sorry this took longer than expected. Removed part about U-turn because most U-turn users that threaten Iron Leaves (Scarfer Mien and Gren / Lokix) have coverage for Aeglislash.

Depending on its coverage, Iron Leaves can severely chip threats such as Celesteela and Hydregion Mega Latias Hydrei isn't stopping any of the above mons 1v1 and thus pave the way for these teammates to sweep late-game. In return, Iron Moth and Victini threaten the Steel-types that check Iron Leaves such as Celesteela, Skarmory, and Scizor while Celesteela easily sets up on them. Greninja and Keldeo appreciate Iron Leaves dealing with Rotom-W and Mega Venusaur and in return, deal with threats such as Hydregion Bisharp feels more reasonable than Drei since Bish can threaten it with prio regardless and Skeledirge. Alakazam can be considered due to its ability to threaten Mega Latias and Skarmory for Iron Leaves; however, Alakazam tends to make teams more vulnerable to Celesteela due to relying on Focus Blast to break past it. Aegislash greatly benefits from Iron Leaves's wallbreaking abilities and fits well on hyper offense teams as what? (spinblocker, check to fightings .etc), making it an excellent teammate. Aegislash also provides useful secondary Speed control with Shadow Sneak, allowing it to revenge kill snowballing threats such as Iron Moth and Blacephalon. In return, Iron Leaves threatens Rotom-W, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon Ting-Lu. much better examples bc ting dies to +2 cc most of the time Iron Boulder and Azumarill can pair well with Iron Leaves to overwhelm physical walls. Iron Boulder threatens Skeledirge and can overwhelm Hydrapple, very surprised this wasn't included once Celesteela and Skarmory for Iron Leaves. As , while Azumarill shares many checks with Iron Leaves such as already implied with the above sentence about overwhelming physical walls, also better to merge with the Boulder paragraph can help weaken Skarmory and Scizor. Celesteela, and Aeglislash, these two aren't stopping Azu in the slightest the two work together to weaken each other’s checks. Suicide leads such as Excadrill, Kleavor, and Mew make excellent teammates, as their Stealth Rock support entry hazards rewritten to include Spikes Mew allows Iron Leaves to reach important damage thresholds such as OHKOing defensive Celesteela at +2 with Wild Charge. Sticky Web Ribombee is another lead that fits well as a teammate, as Sticky Web support allows Iron Leaves to outspeed and threaten Choice Scarf users such as Mienshao and Greninja and Excadrill under sand.

QC: 1/1 when implemented. Do make sure to look over the grammar and spelling mistakes again though, noticed quite a few of them and GP would certainly think otherwise.
