[SET COMMENTS]
With its high Attack stat and variety of Sharpness-boosted moves, Iron Leaves is a decent wallbreaker that can OHKO common metagame threats like Garganacl and Quaquaval. Sacred Sword allows Iron Leaves to hit Grass- and Psychic-resistant foes like Kingambit and Hydreigon, while Wild Charge threatens Flying-types like Talonflame and Corviknight. Iron Leaves struggles with being prediction-reliant and having low physical bulk, especially with its 4x weakness to the extremely prevalent U-turn, which makes wrong predictions very punishing. Therefore, having defensive teammates like Ting-Lu and Corviknight that can repeatedly pivot it in safely are necessary. Due to its lack of recovery and need for repeated switching, Iron Leaves appreciates entry hazard removers like Iron Treads to keep it from getting worn down. Hadron Engine users like Sandy Shocks are also great teammates that power up both Psyblade and Wild Charge with Electric Terrain.

On the note of being prediction reliant, add a line here about how Iron Leaves struggles with the prevalence of U-Turn (literally anyone from Corv, Roaring Moon, Iron Moth and Meowscarada) which makes predicting wrongly very punishing. Due to its lack of recovery and the need for repeated switching, Iron Leaves appreciates entry hazard removers like Iron Treads to keep it from getting worn down.
