[OVERVIEW]
Flying
========
Iron Jugulis separates itself from Flying's other special attacking threats thanks to an extremely diverse movepool and superior Speed, allowing it to reliably deal with Steel- and Ghost-types. However, it can often come up short of KOs, and Flying has several other fast and strong special attackers like Enamorus and Landorus that offer more vital immunities and superior power at the cost of Speed, while Tornadus-T, while weaker, packs a far more valuable Speed stat and longevity with Regenerator.

[SET COMMENTS]
Iron Jugulis finds a niche on Flying teams as a capable Choice Specs user thanks to is solid Speed and Special Attack enabling it to outpace and remove targets such as Gholdengo and Urshifu-R. Dark Pulse nails problematic Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Iron Crown, Ceruledge, and Gholdengo. Hurricane takes out Fighting- and Fairy-types like Okidogi and Primarina that could take on Dark Pulse. Fire Blast provides great coverage, enabling Iron Jugulis to beat Steel-types such as Corviknight and Iron Treads. Alternatively, Focus Blast allows Iron Jugulis to OHKO Kyurem and 2HKO Hisuian Goodra. Finally, Earth Power deals with Rock- and Fire-types like Glimmora, Hisuian Arcanine, and Heatran.
Corviknight serves a crucial teammate, being able to safely pivot in Iron Jugulis with U-turn along with using Defog to remove Stealth Rock. Corviknight's Steel typing also lets it take on Fairy- and Ice-types that threaten Iron Jugulis such as Enamorus, Alolan Ninetales, and Articuno. Skarmory can take on physical Ice- and Rock-types like Weavile and Iron Boulder with its high Defense and Body Press. Gliscor easily takes on problematic Electric-types like Regieleki and Sandy Shocks while reliably beating down special walls such as Hisuian Goodra. Gliscor can also provide Stealth Rock to wear down checks like Assault Vest Tornadus-T and Assault Vest Iron Hands. Choice Scarf Landorus-T can similarly handle Electric-types like Raging Bolt along with dealing with Fire-types like Gouging Fire and Cinderace. Choice Scarf Enamrous provides a fast special attacker capable of removing faster threats like Choice Specs Greninja, Darkrai, and Choice Specs Dragapult while appreciating Iron Jugulis majorly hindering special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Clodsire. Enamorus can also use Healing Wish to heal Iron Jugulis back up in important matchups such as Ghost and Psychic if takes too much damage. Dragonite appreciates Iron Jugulis removing physical walls like Galarian Weezing, Sableye, and Forretress while being able to use Extreme Speed to pick of faster targets like Meowscarada and Latios that would otherwise beat Iron Jugulis. Assault Vest Tornadus-T can take on special attackers like Iron Moth and opposing Iron Jugulis while providing Knock Off to cripple bulky targets like opposing Assault Vest Tornadus-T and Alolan Muk. Moltres provides support through burn to chip down foes like specially defensive Corviknight and Articuno along with dealing with physical attackers like IronPress Zamazenta and Sneasler.
