Mixed Iron Valiant is a wallbreaker with wide-reaching coverage for the majority of defensive pokemon; it can also revenge kill faster offensive threats thanks to Quark Drive. Thunderbolt lets it break through Toxapex and Corviknight, notably OHKOing them in Electric Terrain after minimal chip. Thunderbolt is also Iron Valiant's best method of hitting Skeledirge, 2HKOing it under Electric Terrain. Psyshock lets Iron Valiant break through Clodsire. Alternatively, Knock Off removes items from switch-ins like Skeledirge and Corviknight, but its outclassed by Psyshock on most teams. Tera Fairy powers up Iron Valiant's Moonblast while maintaining its resistance to Chien-Pao and Kingambit's Sucker Punch and Breloom's Mach Punch, as well as maintaining its immunity to Dragon-type moves. Iron Valiant is best used on offensive teams, which appreciate it taking on common walls like Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Toxapex, and Corviknight, as well as it threatening offensive pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Miraidon and Koraidon, Kingambit, Chien-Pao, and Choice Scarf Chi-Yu and Great Tusk under Electric Terrain. Miraidon is a fantastic partner because it sets Electric Terrain for Iron Valiant. Additionally, Miraidon can pivot into Iron Valiant so it can threaten its checks. Cleaners such as Swords Dance Chien-Pao, Swords Dance Koraidon, Kingambit, Breloom, and Iron Bundle appreciate Iron Valiant softening up their checks early-game for them. Choice Scarf Miraidon and Koraidon, Flutter Mane under sun, and Iron Bundle outspeed and threaten out Iron Valiant, so checks to them such as Clodsire, specially defensive Corviknight, defensive Great Tusk, Skeledirge, and Toxapex are appreciated. Corviknight and Great Tusk in particular can also remove entry hazards, alllowing Iron Valiant to switch in more freely,increasing its longevity. Gothitelle also pairs well with Iron Valiant, as it traps defensive Pokemon such as Clodsire and Toxapex. This is especially important for Knock Off variants of Iron Valiant, as they cannot break through Clodsire.

Mixed Iron Valiant is a potent calling it potent is misleading, it is mediocre at best wallbreaker whose coverage threatens a majority of the defensive pokemon. in the metagame, including Clodsire, Toxapex, Ting-Lu, and Corviknight. these are mentioned later in the analysis. Thunderbolt is powered up under Electric Terrain and pressures lets it break through Toxapex and Corviknight, notably OHKOing them in Electric Terrain after minimal chip. Psyshock lets Iron Valiant break through Clodsire. for teammates such as Miraidon. also mentioned later in the analysis. Alternatively, Knock Off removes items from switch-ins like Skeledirge and Corviknight, but this option is outclassed by the utility of Psyshock on most teams. Tera Fairy powers up Iron Valiant's Moonblast while maintaining its resistance to Dark- and immunity to Dragon-type moves. Iron Valiant is best on aggressive teams that appreciate both its ability to take on common walls like Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Toxapex, and Corviknight, and its ability to threaten out offensive pokemon such as Kingambit, Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu and Great Tusk under Electric Terrain. Miraidon is a fantastic partner because it sets Electric Terrain for Iron Valiant. Additionally, Miraidon can pivot into Iron Valiant so it can threaten Miraidon's checks. and can utilize U-turn to bring Iron Valiant into the field. Iron Valiant can pressure Miraidon checks such as Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Iron Treads, while Miraidon can force out Iron Valiant pivots such as Toxapex and Corviknight. Cleaners such as Swords Dance Chien-Pao, Swords Dance Koraidon, Kingambit, Breloom, and Iron Bundle appreciate Iron Valiant softening up their checks early-game for them. Choice Scarf Koraidon, Flutter Mane under sun, and Iron Bundle outspeed and threaten out Iron Valiant, so checks to them such as Specially Defensive Corviknight, Great Tusk, Skeledirge, and Toxapex are appreciated. Corviknight and Great Tusk in particular can also remove entry hazards, allowing Iron Valiant to switch in more freely and increasing its longevity. Iron Valiant has issues with longevity thanks to Life Orb recoil and entry hazard damage, so hazard removal options are appreciated. Corviknight can clear hazards with Defog, soft check Iron Bundle and Flutter Mane, and pivot into Iron Valiant with U-turn. Great Tusk and Skeledirge are good partners for checking Koraidon, with Great Tusk also being able to clear hazards for Iron Valiant.

try to avoid repetitions as much as you can, keep it short by mentioning only relevant info, and don't explain in too much depth because it's just a mini
good work otherwise, 1/2

Mixed Iron Valiant is a wallbreaker whose coverage threatens a majority of the defensive pokemon. You could briefly touch on its role as a revenge killer thanks to Quark Drive here as well Thunderbolt lets it break through Toxapex and Corviknight, notably OHKOing them in Electric Terrain after minimal chip. Mention that Thunderbolt is also Iron Valiant's best way of hitting Skeledirge (it notably has a favorable roll to 2HKO it under Electric Terrain/2HKOes after minimal chip) Psyshock lets Iron Valiant break through Clodsire.

Corviknight and Great Tusk in particular can also remove entry hazards, alllowing Iron Valiant to switch in more freely and increasing its longevity. Mention how Gothitelle can trap defensive Pokemon for Iron Valiant, letting it clean up under terrain. Particularly it traps Clodsire, which Knock Off variants heavily appreciate.
