Benefiting from a great defensive typing and good utility, Iron Treads can be a great addition to most teams. Its ground typing allows it to completely counter Pokemon such as Raging Bolt and Slowking-Galar. Its Steel-type makes it a great answer to a plethora of Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Zapdos and Clefable. Ice Spinner gives it more leeway against other Ground-types like Landorus-T and Gliscor, effectively being able to eliminate them in two hits. Icium Z allows Iron Treads to dispose of them in one hit. It can also cleanly KO a Garchomp from full health. Supercell Slam can be helpful against Pokemon that it would normally struggle to hit such as Alomomola, Slowbro, Corviknight and Charizard-Mega-Y. Electium Z can eliminate the first three after chip and one shot Charizard-Mega-Y. Stealth Rock offers huge support for Iron Tread's team throughout the course of a game. It is able to get them up consistently against Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Slowking-Galar and Raging Bolt. Rapid Spin is also an important support move, removing hazards and making Iron Treads faster than Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Koko and Latios-Mega.
Iron Treads can fit very well on offense, bulky offense and bulky balance teams. It can help rain teams by being a great Raging Bolt answer and an excellent pivot via Eject Button. Its stab Eartquake decimates Clodsire and Slowking Galar, making way for Volcarona and Raging Bolt to sweep. It takes advantage of Tapu Koko's terrain and gets a boost in speed, being able to completely counter it. Pokemon that would normally have trouble with Tapu Koko like Alomomola, Toxapex and Moltres all benefit from this. It also has a good matchup into Tapu Lele, being able to take both of its STAB moves with no issues while hitting Tapu Lele on its weaker side. Pokemon like Raging Bolt, Dragonite and Lopunny-Mega greatly appreciate this. Iron Treads can act as a good teammate for Charizard-Mega-Y by being able to check Raging Bolt and Tyranitar-Mega. Iron Treads struggles to hit Great Tusk for meaningful damage. Tapu Lele, Slowbro and Latios-Mega are all great teammates in this regard. It also has trouble against Pokemon such as Scizor-Mega and Ferrothorn, but Charizard-Mega-Y or Cinderace can help.
