Choice Specs Iron Valiant is a threatening wallbreaker, punching holes in teams with its good offensive stats and wide special movepool. Iron Valiant can't fit all its desired options, but its versatility means opponents must scout it. Thunderbolt helps deal with Pokemon like Toxapex and Corviknight. Psyshock dents Clodsire,which usually hard counters Iron Valiant otherwise, while Shadow Ball helps against Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Trick can cripple Iron Valiant's switch-ins such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Corviknight. Fairy is the premier Tera type to boost its Moonblast to extreme levels, with it even denting resistant foes like Gholdengo and Victini. Electric is also a good choice, as it helps against Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and Hurricane from Tornadus-T and Zapdos, and Thunderbolt becomes an extra STAB move. Steel works in the same vein, but it doesn't have any offensive utility, although it provides Iron Valiant a Toxic immunity and more resistances. This set appreciates pivots like Landorus-T, Tapu Koko, and Slowbro to pressure the opponent's team and bring it in. In particular, Tapu Koko also boosts Iron Valiant's Speed thanks to Electric Terrain activating Quark Drive, while Slowbro provides Future Sight support, helping Iron Valiant to push through Toxapex and Clodsire. Entry hazards from Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Garchomp, and Gastrodon help wear down Iron Valiant's checks, such as Gholdengo, Clodsire, and Toxapex. They also can switch into faster Pokemon that threaten Iron Valiant, such as Tapu Koko, Choice Scarf Rotom-W, and Choice Scarf Victini. Pursuit Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar can trap and remove Pokemon that Iron Valiant struggles to break through, like Gholdengo and Victini.

Iron Valiant has the stats to be a good mixed attacker. The given EV spread allows it to OHKO Blissey with Close Combat. Psyshock helps deal with Clodsire, and Thunderbolt hits Corviknight and Toxapex. Knock Off is a good option, as it helps beat Gholdengo while usefully removing items from the likes of Skeledirge, Volcarona, and Corviknight. Fairy is the best Tera type for this set, as it lets Moonblast's damage skyrocket. Steel can make up for Iron Valiant's atrocious bulk, which is even worsened by the Naive nature, and Electric also brings some defensive use while giving Thunderbolt STAB. Both also help Iron Valiant against Tornadus-T and Mega Scizor, as it can resist Hurricane and Bullet Punch. Iron Valiant appreciates slow pivots like Landorus-T, Slowbro, and Corviknight bringing it in safely. Entry hazard control is required to ensure Iron Valiant's survivability. Therefore, Defoggers like Corviknight and Tornadus-T, Rapid Spin users like Great Tusk and Cyclizar, and even Magic Bounce users such as Mega Diancie are good partners.

[SET COMMENTS]

Calm Mind Iron Valiant is a strong wallbreaker and a potent wincon due to its offensive pressure and Speed boost from Booster Energy. It already possesses a high base Speed, meaning it outpaces every relevant Choice Scarf user besides itself. Calm Mind helps it pressure supposed checks such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Mega Scizor, although you'll need to Terastallize Iron Valiant to beat the latter. Thunderbolt helps it hit these threats, while Psyshock allows Iron Valiant to properly beat Clodsire and the aforementioned Toxapex. Steel is the best Tera type, as it lets Iron Valiant block poison and resist strong priority moves, such as Fake Out from Mega Lopunny and Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor. Electric is also a very strong option, as it still helps against Bullet Punch and allows Iron Valiant to bash through Skeledirge and the aforementioned Mega Scizor. Since Booster Energy only activates once, this set requires a lot of support before coming in and setting up. Therefore, it's limited to very offensive playstyles. Entry hazards from Garchomp, Ting-Lu, and Landorus-T are needed to weaken Iron Valiant's checks such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Mega Scizor, helping it punch through them. Pokemon that share checks with Iron Valiant are also valuable teammates, like Dragon Dance Dragonite, Weavile, and Volcarona, as together they can overwhelm common checks like Corviknight and Toxapex. Iron Valiant also appreciates dual screens from Grimmsnarl or Tapu Koko. The latter brings Electric Terrain, which can be useful for Quark Drive and Thunderbolt in extended endgame scenarios. Finally, Swords Dance Kingambit and Sword Swords Dance Garchomp can deal with its checks like Toxapex and Clodsire.

Thanks to its high Speed and capable offensive stats, Iron Valiant is a very potent Choice Scarf user, revenge killing Dragonite and Zamazenta and cleaning up weakened teams. Close Combat and Moonblast hit a large variety of Pokemon, and Knock Off cripples foes while hitting Gholdengo and Skeledirge hard. Trick can be worth it over Thunderbolt's coverage, as it cripples checks like Toxapex and Clodsire. Tera Fairy helps Iron Valiant clean through weakened teams, and Steel allows it to reliably beat Dragonite while resisting priority moves from the likes of Mega Lopunny and Mega Scizor. Entry hazards from setters like Garchomp and Ting-Lu are heavily recommended to weaken Iron Valiant's checks such as Mega Scizor, Toxapex, and Clodsire. Trappers can remove Pokemon it tends to struggle against, such as Toxapex and Gholdengo. Therefore, Heatran, Kingambit, and Weavile are good teammates. Mega Charizard Y, Heatran, and the aforementioned Kingambit can break through Iron Valiant's aforementioned checks. Finally, defensive Pokemon, such as Mega Scizor, Gholdengo, and Heatran can cover for Iron Valiant once it gets forced out after revenge killing.

Choice Specs Iron Valiant is a threatening wallbreaker, being able to punch holes into a team thanks to is punching holes in teams with its good offensive stats and wide special movepool, meaning the opposition must scout for it. However, having such a huge movepool fatally means you're subject to 4 MSS, and Iron Valiant isn't an exception. movepool. Iron Valiant can't fit all its desired options, but its versatility means opponents must scout it. (I imagine this makes sense?) Thunderbolt helps deal with Pokemon like Toxapex and Corviknight. Psyshock dents Clodsire, who which usually hard counters Iron Valiant otherwise, while Shadow Ball helps against Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Trick can cripple Iron Valiant's switch in switch-ins such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Corviknight. Fairy is the premier Tera type for Iron Valiant, as it boosts to boost its Moonblast to extreme levels, with it even denting resists resistant foes like Gholdengo and Victini. Electric is also a good choice, as it helps it against Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and Hurricane from Tornadus-T, while giving Iron Valiant an extra Electric STAB. Tornadus-T and Zapdos, and Thunderbolt becomes an extra STAB move. (I imagine bringing Zapdos here from below makes sense?) Steel stays works in the same vein, but it doesn't have any offensive utility, although it provides Iron Valiant a Toxic immunity and also lets it resist Flying-type moves from Zapdos and Tornadus-T. more resistances. (you could also just end the sentence at "Toxic immunity." and ignore the addition if you wanted) This set appreciates pivots like Landorus-T, Tapu Koko, and Slowbro to pressure the opponent's team and bring it in. (I imagine?) In particular, Tapu Koko also boosts Iron Valiant Valiant's Speed thanks to Electric Terrain activating Quark Drive, while Slowbro provides Future Sight support, helping Iron Valiant to brute-force push through Toxapex and Clodsire. Entry hazards are appreciated from Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Garchomp, and Gastrodon, as they help wear down Iron Valiant's checks, such as Gholdengo, Clodsire, and Toxapex. They also can switch into faster Pokemon that threaten Iron Valiant, such as Tapu Koko, Choice Scarf Rotom-W, and Choice Scarf Victini. Pursuit support from Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar is appreciated, as they can trap and remove Pokemon that Iron Valiant struggle to break struggles to break through, like Gholdengo and Victini.

Iron Valiant possesses great offense prowess in both physical and special aspects, making it has the stats to be a good mixed attacker. The given EVs spread, paired with the Expert Belt, EV spread allows it to OHKO Blissey with Close Combat, while maximizing its damage output on the special side. Psyshock helps deal with Clodsire, and Thunderbolt round the coverage up by hitting hits Corviknight and Toxapex. Knock Off is a good option, as it helps beat Gholdengo while providing good utility by usefully removing items from the likes of Skeledirge, Volcarona, and the aforementioned Corviknight. Fairy is the best Tera type for this set, as it helps Moonblast damages lets Moonblast's damage skyrocket. Steel can make up for the Iron Valiant's atrocious bulk even reduced by a negative bulk, which is even worsened by the Naive nature, while Electric, although only recommended when Thunderbolt is used gives Valiant another STAB. They and Electric also brings some defensive use while giving Thunderbolt STAB. Both also help Iron Valiant against Tornadus-T and Mega Scizor, as it now resists can resist Hurricane and Bullet Punch respectively. Iron Valiant appreciates slow pivot support from Pokemon pivots like Landorus-T, Slowbro, and Corviknight, as they can bring it safely on the field. Hazard Control is required, Corviknight bringing it in safely. Entry hazard control is required to ensure Iron Valiant's survivability. As such, defoggers Therefore, Defoggers like Corviknight and Tornadus-T, Rapid Spin users like Great Tusk or and Cyclizar, and even Magic Bounce users such as Mega Diancie are good partners. Entry hazards support is also recommended, as it helps were down Iron Valiant's checks, such as Clodsire and Toxapex, so Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Ferrothorn, and Heatran are good teammates. (this is pretty universally true for all wallbreakers, and this set isn't like a cleaner or setup sweeper that extra needs hazards, so idt hazards need specific mention here, unless they play a unique or more detailed role that you wanna talk about)

Calm Mind Iron Valiant is a strong wallbreaker and a potent wincon due to the offensive pressure it exerts and having a its offensive pressure and Speed boost from Booster Energy. It already possesses a high base Speed, meaning it outpaces every relevant Choice Scarf user in the metagame, bar besides itself. Calm Mind helps you pressure what would be otherwise capable of checking you, it pressure supposed checks such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Mega Scizor, although you'll need to Terastallize Iron Valiant in order to beat the latter. Thunderbolt helps it hit these threats, while Psyshock allows Iron Valiant to properly beat Clodsire and the aforementioned Toxapex. Steel is the best Tera option, type, as it prevents Iron Valiant from being poisoned while resisting lets Iron Valiant block poison and resist strong priority moves, (AC) such as Fake Out from Mega Lopunny (RC) and Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor. Electric is also a very strong option, even if it doesn't prevent the poison as it still helps Iron Valiant against Mega Scizor Bullet Punch and allows it to brute-force Iron Valiant to bash through Skeledirge and the aforementioned Mega Scizor. Since Booster Energy only activates once, this set requires a lot of preparation support before coming in and setting up. Therefore, it's limited to very offensive playstyles. Entry hazards support from Garchomp, Ting-Lu, and Landorus-T is are needed to weaken Iron Valiant's checks such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Mega Scizor, enabling Iron Valiant to brute force through them easier. helping it punch through them. Pokemon that share checks with Iron Valiant are also valuable teammates, like Dragon Dance Dragonite, Weavile, and Volcarona, as together they can overwhelm their common checks. Therefore, Dragon Dance Dragonite, Weavile, and Volcarona make good partners. common checks like (give an example or two). Iron Valiant also appreciates Screens support, so setters such as Grimmsnarl and Tapu Koko are good teammates. dual screens from Grimmsnarl or Tapu Koko. The latter brings Electric Terrain, which can be useful for Quark Drive and/or Thunderbolt (I imagine? change if desired) in extended endgame scenarios. Finally, it synergizes well with Pokemon that can deal with its checks, such as Sword Swords Dance Kingambit and Sword Swords Dance Garchomp can deal with its checks like (give an example or two).
