[SET COMMENTS]
All-out Attacker Iron Moth serves as an excellent wallbreaker, utilizing its high base Special Attack and good coverage to break down common defensive options in the tier. When using Sheer Force, Fire Blast threatens to OHKO Zamazenta, Pecharunt, and Volcarona. Flamethrower can be opted for instead, trading in the ability to threaten the aforementioned KOs for accuracy. Fiery Dance should exclusively be used on Hadron Engine variants, as it allows Iron Moth to potentially spiral out of control in a single turn. Energy Ball is necessary for would-be checks like RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy. Discharge smacks Well-Baked Body Skarmory and Gholdengo and, hits Manaphy harder than Energy Ball if using Hadron Engine, and dissuades Roaring Moon from switching in with its nasty chance of paralysis, while Dazzling Gleam invalidates Roaring Moon as an answer to Iron Moth. Lastly, U-turn allows Iron Moth to pivot out in the face of checks it cannot beat, like Blissey, RegenVest Hisuian Goodra, and Meloetta. Life Orb pairs perfectly with Sheer Force, granting Iron Moth extra power with no drawback on its Sheer Force-boosted moves. Heavy-Duty Boots can be considered on Hadron Engine sets, allowing Iron Moth to disregard entry hazards.

Iron Moth truly shines on balance and more offensive teams looking for a wallbreaker that is near-impossible to switch into safely. Thus, other special wallbreakers and pivots like Azelf, Zapdos, and Hisuian Electrode appreciate Iron Moth's ability to overload their checks like RegenVest Manaphy, Swampert, and Roaring Moon. Defensive pivots like Corviknight, RegenVest Swampert, and Manaphy grant Iron Moth a backbone it can rely on to stomach hits in its place and pivot out; these Pokemon also can thwart revenge killing attempts from faster threats like Roaring Moon, Deoxys-S, and Chien-Pao. Iron Moth appreciates entry hazard removal from options like Great Tusk and Corviknight when not utilizing Heavy-Duty Boots. Iron Moth suffers from four-moveslot syndrome and as a result cannot threaten targets like RegenVest Roaring Moon without Dazzling Gleam and Well-Baked Body Skarmory and Gholdengo without Discharge; hence, teammates that can deal with these targets like Latios, Chien-Pao, and Choice Specs Primarina pair well with it.

All-Out Attacker Iron Moth serves as an excellent wallbreaker, utilizing its high base Special Attack and good coverage to break down common defensive options in the tier. When using Sheer Force, Fire Blast is Iron Moth's Fire-type STAB move of choice, although Flamethrower can be opted for instead, trading in damage for accuracy. give an example or two of a calc Fire Blast hits that flamethrower misses However. Hadron Engine variants prefer Fiery Dance, allowing it to potentially snowball out of control with a single turn. Energy Ball is necessary for would-be checks like RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy, Discharge smacks Well-Baked Body Corviknight and, if using Hadron Engine, Manaphy harder, I would also add that the para chance is valuable, espeically for deterring moon and Dazzling Gleam invalidates Roaring Moon as an answer to the Moth. Lastly, U-Turn allows it to pivot out in the face of checks it cannot beat, like Blissey, RegenVest Hisuian Goodra, and Meloetta. Life Orb pairs perfectly with Sheer Force, granting it extra power with no drawback on most of its moves. Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item can be considered on Hadron Engine sets, allowing it to come in freely without fearing entry hazards.

Iron Moth truly shines on balance or more offensive teams looking for a wallbreaker that is near-impossible to switch into safely. Thus, offensive pivots like Roaring Moon, Barraskewda, and Meowscarada love pairing with Iron Moth as it can brute force its way through their checks like Great Tusk, Fluffy Corviknight, and Skarmory. instead of physical attackers and physical checks, I would give examples of fast special attackers that can take over a game if Mana / Pert / Moon are broken Defensive pivots like Corviknight, RegenVest Swampert, and Manaphy also make for good partners, allowing Iron Moth to have a backbone it can rely on to stomach hits in its place and pivot out; these Pokemon also can thwart revenge killing attempts from faster threats like Roaring Moon, Deoxys-S, and Chien-Pao. Iron Moth also appreciates hazard removal from options like Great Tusk and the aforementioned Corviknight when not utilizing Heavy-Duty Boots. give some mention to how it will always have a few checks based on coverage moves not picked, so be sure to pack appropriate team answers

Flamethrower can be opted for instead, trading in the ability to threaten the aforementioned OHKOes for accuracy. However, Hadron Engine variants prefer Fiery Dance, allowing it to potentially snowball out of control with a single turn. id reword this to say "Fiery Dance should only be used on Hadron Engine variants, since Sheer Force nullifies the Special Attack boost, and it allows Iron Moth to..." cause plenty of Hadron variants use Fire Blast and Flamethrower Energy Ball is necessary for would-be checks like RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy, Discharge smacks Well-Baked Body Corviknight Skarmory and Gholdengo wbb corv fake and, if using Hadron Engine, hits Manaphy harder while dissuading Roaring Moon from switching in with its nasty chance of paralysis, and Dazzling Gleam invalidates Roaring Moon as an answer to the Moth. Lastly, U-turn allows it to pivot out in the face of checks it cannot beat, like Blissey, RegenVest Hisuian Goodra, and Meloetta. maybe also mention that uturn lets moth not have to decide on the right move to click Life Orb pairs perfectly with Sheer Force, granting it extra power with no drawback on most of its moves. Heavy-Duty Boots can be considered on Hadron Engine sets, allowing it to come in freely without fearing entry hazards.
