[SET COMMENTS]
With high-Base Power moves and decent Special Attack and Speed, Iron Jugulis is a solid wallbreaker that can outspeed and threaten common specially defensive foes, like Garchomp and Garganacl. Iron Jugulis offers a notable niche, as Hurricane + Dark Pulse + Focus Blast can hit every viable Pokemon for neutral damage. Taunt disrupts attempts to heal, set up, or set entry hazards, allowing Iron Jugulis to better handle Pokemon such as Blissey and Clodsire. Iron Jugulis struggles against special walls like Florges and Scream Tail, so physically offensive teammates like Cinderace and Ceruledge are necessary to break through them. Due to its frailty, it enjoys teammates like Slither Wing and Corviknight that can pivot it in, the latter of which can also remove hazards with Defog. Iron Jugulis also appreciates entry hazard setters such as Ting-Lu, which can enable it to secure KOs that it would typically miss, such as Garganacl.
