[SET COMMENTS]
  • A decent defensive typing allows Iron Treads to act as a check to Miraidon and Flutter Mane, and use the opportunity to remove or set entry hazards.
  • Knock Off cripples common switch-ins such as Ting-Lu and Corviknight, while Volt Switch keeps momentum for your team.
  • 16 IVs in Defense mean that Iron Treads will receive a Special Defense boost in Electric Terrain, helping with switching into Miraidon.
  • Iron Treads can use Tera Fairy to remove its weaknesses to Fighting and Fire, which can be helpful versus Koraidon and Chien-Pao, and with taking coverage from Miraidon and Flutter Mane. However, it loses its immunity to Electric and resistances to Dragon and Fairy. Iron Treads can alternatively use Tera Ground for an extra boost to Earthquake, but it suffers from similar demerits as Tera Fairy.
  • Since both Miraidon and Flutter Mane have Fire-type coverage options, Iron Treads appreciates being paired with Pokemon such as Ting-Lu that can handle those attacks. Choice Scarf Koraidon and Booster Energy Flutter Mane are also good teammates, as they can revenge kill Miraidon and Flutter Mane while benefitting from Iron Treads removing entry hazards.
  • Skeledirge's ability to check Koraidon and Iron Valiant also makes it a great partner for Iron Treads. Teammates that can switch into Great Tusk such as Dondozo and Alomomola also pair well, with Alomomola even providing Wish support to increase Iron Treads's longevity.

Would also mention fast teammates like scarf korai or booster flutter in case of mirai / flutter beating this w fire coverage, bc I think having at least 1 thing to revenge kill those is mandatory if you're relying on treads as the sp.def wall. Along with dirge I'd mention korai checks that can also beat Great Tusk, since Treads is one of the freest entries for Tusk. Things like alo, dondozo, or phys.def Great Tusk can be mentioned, but not all have to be.

Don't forget credits
