Iron Valiant is a special attacker with an unmatched Speed tier in a sea of physical attackers, making it a solid pick for Fighting teams. It also has a spammable Fairy STAB movr in Moonblast, which allows it to ease the Dark match up by threatening Sableye while also neutering opposing Fighting-types such as Great Tusk and Breloom. Thunderbolt hits Water- and Flying-types such as Dondozo and Corviknight. Psyshock hits Poison-types such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Clodsire, whereas Future Sight can apply pressure to opponents like Toxapex for teammates such as Breloom and Gallade. Shadow Ball hits Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Aura Sphere can be used instead as a hard-hitting STAB move, while Trick is a neat option that cripples potential switch-ins such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, Clodsire, and Skuntank.

Wallbreakers such as Breloom and Gallade appreciate Iron Valiant's ability to take out physical walls as well as its ability to pressure the opponent with Future Sight. Assault Vest Iron Hands is a fantastic partner as well thanks to its ginormous HP stat that lets it deal with Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene that can outspeed or wall Iron Valiant. Choice Scarf users such as Flamigo, Quaquaval, and Slither Wing pressure Pokemon faster than Iron Valiant such as Greninja, Dragapult, and Cinderace. Tauros-F is another fantastic partner thanks to its ability to shatter dual screens with Raging Bull, making Iron Valiant more effective in matchups against Dark, Fairy, and Ice, all while avoiding burns thanks to its part Fire typing, which helps against Ghost and Dark teams.

(its best to add a sentence on why Valiant is so good to fighting teams and mesh that with the moonblast line [as one of the reason is that it eases the matchup w/ Sable, another is that its a spattacker in a sea of phys attackers, and third is its speedtier thats quite good])
Moonblast allows it to neuter threats like opposing Fighting-types such as Great Tusk and Breloom or ease the Dark-type match up thanks to threatening Sableye. Thunderbolt allows Iron Valiant to hit Water-types such as Pelipper and Dondozo hard (it also deals with Pex/Corv, which switches in since it handles all its other moves). The choice between Psychic and Psyshock is tough, but both allow Valiant to take on Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Toxapex. Psychic is better for more overall power while Psyshock can hit on the Defense side if need be to hit things like Clodsire harder(can summarize that "A Psychic move is used to deal with Poison-types which resist its STABs, with Psychic dealing with Amoonguss and Toxapex while Psyshock nails Clodsire", or something similar to that sentence). Shadow Ball hits Ghost-types such as Gholdengo, which is unphazed by any of the other moves Iron Valiant may have, as well as nailing Skeledirge and Brambleghast. (Imo you can drop bramble since it gets vaporized by Moonblast, and move Dirge up since that thing can unironically solo Fighting w/o quack) Aura Sphere can be used instead as a hard hitting STAB move, while but the coverage is generally not worth losing to run it. Trick is a neat option as well as it can allow Iron Valiant to cripple potential switch-ins such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, Clodsire, and Skuntank, and more.
(added space because its the second paragraph)
Breloom can complement Iron Valiant's ability to take on Water-types by taking said Water-types that can take Thunderbolt such as Gastrodon and Quagsire while also appreciating its ability to cripple or wear down Poison-types. Gallade is another fantastic partner that can help Valiant take on Poison-types fairly easily thanks to its Psychic STAB while also threatening opposing Fighting-types that may be neutral to Valiant's STAB such as Tauros-Paldea-Blaze.
(Cat thinks that Breloom doesnt need a whole sentence, can you merge general wallbreakers like Gallade + Breloom in one sentence, then add a sentence about Iron Hands [is thick and checks Fairies like Flutt and Hatt which can deal with Valiant readily], then another for Choice scarf users since Valiant isnt fast enough to deal with Gren, Pult, and Cindy [and Meow, but we know most meows are scarfed anyway]. If sentence count still permits, also add in a mention to Blaze Pald Tauros as a team mate, due to its op screenbreaking + anti-burn tech.)

Iron Valiant is a special attacker in a sea of physical attackers which makes it a solid pick for Fighting teams. Its Speed tier is also unmatched when it comes to other Fighting-types. Furthermore, having Fairy STAB in Moonblast allows it to ease the Dark match up for the type by threatening Sableye while also neutering threats like opposing Fighting-types such as Great Tusk and Breloom. (compress these to 1-2 sentences) Thunderbolt allows Iron Valiant to hits Water and Flying-types such as Pelipper and Dondozo and hard as well as nailing Corviknight. Psyshock is used to deal with Poison-types which resist its STABs such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Clodsire. Psychic can be used for more overall power, but Psyshock is a bit more consistent at dealing with hitting Clodsire as well as special walls. Shadow Ball hits Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Skeledirge, which are unphazed by any of the other moves Iron Valiant may have. Aura Sphere can be used instead as a hard hitting STAB move, while Trick is a neat option as well as it can allow Iron Valiant to cripples potential switch-ins such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, Clodsire, and Skuntank. Iron Hands is a fantastic partner as well thanks to its fantastic HP stat and an Assault Vest to help check Fairies such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene that can outspeed or wall Iron Valiant. (moved)
*as much as I hate adding a new move in the middle of a check, Future sight deserves a mention, notably because it helps Gallade and Breloom lots as you pressure Poison/Water teams a lot harder with it. I just removed the Psychic line, add Fsight instead ;w;


General wWallbreakers such as Breloom and Gallade appreciate Iron Valiant's ability to take out physical walls while the former can complement Iron Valiant's ability to take on Water-types by taking said Water-types that can take Thunderbolt such as Gastrodon and Quagsire (dont these just get nuked by Moonblast? I think Breloom and Gallade could focus in dealing with those instead. Add the FSight supporting these two here, too, I guess.) and the latter can help with Poison-types. Assault Vest Iron Hands is a fantastic partner as well thanks to its fantastic HP stat and an Assault Vest to help check Fairies such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene that can outspeed or wall Iron Valiant. Choice Scarf users such as Flamigo, Quaquaval, and Slither Wing as they can pressure those Pokémon faster than it Iron Valiant such as Greninja, Dragapult, and Cinderace. Tauros-Paldea-Blaze is another fantastic partner thanks to it breaking screens with Raging Bull and also avoiding burns thanks to its part Fire typing.

Assault Vest Iron Hands is a fantastic partner as well thanks to its ginormous HP stat and an Assault Vest that lets it to help check (check is honestly a loaded word, esp for flutter mane. Maybe deals is better?) Fairy-typesies such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene that can outspeed or wall Iron Valiant. Choice Scarf users such as Flamigo, Quaquaval, and Slither Wing pressure Pokémon faster than Iron Valiant such as Greninja, Dragapult, and Cinderace. Tauros-Paldea-Blaze is another fantastic partner thanks to its ability to shatter dual screens breaking screens with Raging Bull (because it makes Valiant more effective vs types that use screens, too) and also avoiding burns thanks to its part Fire typing. (which helps in the dark and ghost mu too)
