[SET COMMENTS]
Steelbreaker with interesting speedtier, notably outspeeds Iron Treads and it isnt weak to mamoswine. Also has good stabs in general
Scald is ok because burns are cool, Hydro Steam is great in the niche Volcarona matchup vs Fire teams.
Flamethrower completes coverage as it targets corv and gholdengo
Knock for Cuno and annoying for Hisuian Goodra, Toxapex, Alolan Muk / AV users like Iron Hands / Prim / Gallade. Flip is great as it lures hard walls like Slowking-G, Empo, and Primarina, but be aware of Flip Turning into water absorb Clod which is the evil.
Protospeed helps with dealing with Volcarona and Cinderace which are annoying to the type

Dragapult for patching lacking speedtier, benefits with Articuno / AV Torn being knocked
Archaludon for Hazards and ideally, use Tbolt to ensure rocks stays up. Also deals with outrage Wake tends to lure in
On the same note, H.Goo eats up Draco meteors and deals with Prim which gets free setup on this guy
Latios and or Kyurem deals with mortal enemy number 1 Clodsire. Scarf Latios is viable as it can lure in steels and loves cleaning Flying late game esp after the bait, Kyurem too because no more boots on cuno means its gonna get 2hkoed by ice moves
Scarf RM deals with Flutter mane and can lure in skarm and position Wake
Spikes Garchomp great knock off synergy, noms walls like Slowking G and Empo too. Likes Gliscor being killed too.
Dragonite is ok, it has setup and would like Skarm getting deleted to sweep later on. Priority good.
Raging Bolt is a niche partner but it likes grounds getting deleted and might be able to overwhelm clod, but its not that great here. Also priority good.
