Set Details
========
- Iron Jugulis serves as a strong utility attacker on rain teams with its solid typing and great support options in Snarl and Tailwind. Iron Jugulis has good matchups into common Flying-weak Pokemon like Rillaboom, Ogerpon, and Urshifu.
- With the plethora of powerful special attackers in the format like Calyrex-S, Kyogre, Terapagos, and Lunala, Snarl acts as a consistent way to slow down these would be sweepers and give opportunities for your team. Tailwind paired with Iron Jugulis's high speed allows it to easily give your team the speed advantage in front of much faster threats.
- The defensive investment allows Iron Jugulis to live a Flare Blitz from Koraidon, Moonblast from Focus Sash Flutter Mane, and Volt Switch from Miraidon after a Snarl. The speed investment paired with Booster Energy allows Iron Jugulis to outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R.
- Tera Steel provides Iron Jugulis a strong defensive typing in rain while also giving key resistances to Ice and Fairy. Tera Fire acts as a solid alternative, having a weaker defensive typing in exchange for losing its Fighting weakness.
Teambuilding
=========
- Iron Jugulis typically struggles against strong Electric- and Ice-types like Miraidon and Calyrex-I who threaten to OHKO Iron Jugulis. More defensive Pokemon that Iron Jugulis struggles to damage like Zamazenta-C and Grimmsnarl can also be a struggle for it because they can ignore it without many repercussions .
- Kyogre is Iron Jugulis's best partner, providing rain for Iron Jugulis's Hurricanes while also benefiting greatly from Tailwind and Snarl, being able to get 4HKO'd by Astral Barrage from Calyrex-Shadow and live Volt Switch from Miraidon after a Snarl. Zacian-C also functions as a great partner, covering for most of the aforementioned checks to Iron Jugulis as well as having the ability outspeed Choice Scarf Miraidon with Tailwind. These Legendary Pokemon also covers well for the Calyrex-I matchup, resisting Glacial Lance and firing off strong and consistent damage into it.
- Grass-types such as Amoonguss and Rillaboom work well with Iron Jugulis, providing Fake Out and Rage Powder to give Iron Jugulis the opportunity to set up Tailwind, as well as covering the problematic Miraidon matchup. Urshifu-R is also a great partner for Iron Jugulis on rain teams, benefitting off the speed boost to fire off powerful rain-boosted Surging Strikes that can bulldoze through said bulky threats that Iron Jugulis typically struggles against..
