Adamant Nature
- Supercell Slam
- Close Combat
- Heavy Slam
- Fake Out / Swords Dance
[SET COMMENTS]
* Booster Energy lets Iron Hands hit as hard as possible without getting locked into one move by Choice Band.
* The given EV spread allows Iron Hands to live Choice Band Meowscarada's Play Rough and unboosted Modest Porygon-Z's Hyper Beam.
* Supercell Slam and Close Combat do heavy damage to obvious targets such as Galarian Moltres and Volcanion as well as neutrally affected Pokemon such as Haxorus, Ogerpon-W and Assault Vest Hoopa-U.
* Heavy Slam is vital coverage against Encore + Disable users like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales. It also hits Protean Meowscarada using Play Rough and niche Fairy-types such as Diancie and Whimsicott.
* Fake Out gives Iron Hands strong odds to KO non-bulky variants of Regidrago and Walking Wake.
* Swords Dance is useful against Chople Berry Counter Hisuian Goodra and stall Pokemon like Corviknight and Manaphy.
* Iron Hands has clear issues against Ground-types and also loses to setup Pokemon that can comfortably take its attacks such as Cresselia, Iron Crown, and defensive variants of Volcarona. Its Primarina matchup is also uneasy without Assault Vest. Therefore, Ogerpon-W makes for an exceptional partner thanks to its strong STAB moves and access to Encore.
