Iron Treads is an excellent spinner that is able to switch into common entry hazard setters such as Garchomp and Landorus-T with its own Levitate while also being able to use Knock Off on common switch-ins such as Corviknight. Iron Treads can opt to be a hazard setter itself with Stealth Rock, keep up momentum with Volt Switch on targets like Corviknight, or use Heavy Slam as a strong STAB option for Scream Tail and Chien-Pao. Levitate allows Iron Treads to be immune to Spikes while also being able to spin them away, whereas Earth Eater can be used as an alternative for better longevity against hazard setters like Garchomp and Smack Down Landorus-T. Offensive Pokemon that are weak to hazards such as Chien-Pao and Thundurus-T appreciate Iron Treads's ability to keep hazards off the field, as well as being able to pivot them in safely with Volt Switch. Strong physical attackers like Galarian Zapdos and Kingambit also are good teammates for Iron Treads, as they can more easily break through Corviknight with Knock Off support from Iron Treads. Iron Treads can be overwhelmed by coverage options from hazard setters such as Liquidation Garchomp, so running Wish Scream Tail, which can increase Iron Treads's longevity, or a secondary hazard remover like Corviknight and Quaquaval, which can also stave off hits, is recommended. Iron Treads is also vulnerable to strong Fighting-type attackers such as Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing, so it is advised to pair it with a Fighting-resistant teammate such as Scream Tail or Fluffy Zapdos.

Iron Treads is an excellent spinner that is able to switch-in to common entry hazard setters such as Garchomp and Ting-Lu with Levitate while also being able to use Knock Off on common switch-ins such as Corviknight.

Offensive Pokemon that are weak to hazards such as Chien-Pao and Thundurus-T appreciate Iron Treads's ability to keep hazards off and being able to pivot them in safely with Volt Switch. Strong physical attackers like Roaring Moon and Kingambit also are good teammates with Iron Treads as they can more easily break through physically defensive Corviknight not sure if "physically" need to be used here since corv is exclusively physdef with Knock Off support from Iron Treads. Iron Treads can be overwhelmed by coverage options from hazard setters such as Liquidation Garchomp, so running a secondary hazard remover like Corviknight and Quaquaval that can also stave off hits and increase Iron Treads's longevity is recommended. I'd also mention Scream Tail as a partner for wishpassing. Iron Treads is also vulnerable to strong Fighting-type attackers such as Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing, so it is advised to pair it with a fighting resist such as Zapdos or Galarian Slowking.

Iron Treads is an excellent spinner that is able to switch-in to common entry hazard setters such as Garchomp and Ting-Lu Ting-Lu is kinda irrelevant so it might be better to say Lando or Iron Treads itself! (The Iron Treads MU is actually really common... but probably too in-depth for this analysis) with Levitate while also being able to use Knock Off on common switch-ins such as Corviknight.

Zapdos and Galarian Slowking both need to be Fluffy in order to properly check them, so I'd advise adding Fluffy mention (or replace them with even sturdier physical Fighting checks like STail or Skeledirge).

Iron Treads is an excellent spinner that is able to switch into common entry hazard setters such as Garchomp and Landorus-T with its own Levitate while also being able to use Knock Off on common switch-ins such as Corviknight. Iron Treads can opt to be a hazard setter itself with Stealth Rock, keep up momentum with Volt Switch on targets like Corviknight, or use Heavy Slam as a strong STAB option for Scream Tail and Chien-Pao. Levitate allows Iron Treads to be immune to ignore subjective change; you can keep the original if you prefer Spikes while also being able to spin them away, while whereas also subjective, since you used while in the other sense a few words prior Earth Eater can be used as an alternative for better longevity against hazard setters like Garchomp and Smack Down Landorus-T. Offensive Pokemon that are weak to hazards such as Chien-Pao and Thundurus-T appreciate Iron Treads's ability to keep hazards off the field, as well as being able to pivot them in safely with Volt Switch. Strong physical attackers like Galarian Zapdos and Kingambit also are good teammates for Iron Treads, (ac) as they can more easily break through Corviknight with Knock Off support from Iron Treads. Iron Treads can be overwhelmed by coverage options from hazard setters such as Liquidation Garchomp, so running Wish Scream Tail, (ac) which that can increase Iron Treads's longevity, (ac) or a secondary hazard remover like Corviknight and Quaquaval, (ac) which that can also stave off hits, (ac) both that->which are subjective, but clausing out the reasons flows better when i read it; you can keep the original or swap, very much your choice. if you keep the original, ignore the commas i added in this sentence is recommended. Iron Treads is also vulnerable to strong Fighting-type attackers such as Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing, so it is advised to pair it with a Fighting-resistant teammate such as Scream Tail or Fluffy Zapdos.
