[SET COMMENTS]
  • The combination of Hydro Pump and Freeze-Dry gives Iron Bundle an unresisted STAB combination, making it extremely threatening with Choice Specs.
  • Flip Turn allows Iron Bundle to pivot in order to gain momentum, while Ice Beam OHKOes Koraidon and uninvested Miraidon.
  • Tera Ice allows Iron Bundle to further boost its Ice-type moves and resist Freeze-Dry from opposing Iron Bundle and Ditto. Tera Water is a good option on teams with rain support in order to let it 2HKO Heavy-Duty Boots Blissey in rain after slight chip.
  • Choice Specs allows Iron Bundle to 2HKO walls such as Ting-Lu, Corviknight, and Scream Tail with Hydro Pump as well as Toxapex with Freeze-Dry.
  • Miraidon is a great teammate, as it can lure in Pokemon weak to Hydro Pump such as Ting-Lu and Iron Treads and pivot into Iron Bundle using U-turn. It also sets Electric Terrain, giving Iron Bundle a Speed boost upon entry.
  • Entry hazard removal options such as Corviknight, Iron Treads, and defensive Great Tusk are great teammates, as Iron Bundle can get worn down pretty quickly from repeatedly switching into Stealth Rock.

AMQC:
I'd mention Tera Water as a secondary option, as it allows Hydro Pump to potentially 2HKO Heavy-Duty Boots Blissey with rain support and 2hkoes it with actually minimal prior chip damage ie flip turn 252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Water Iron Bundle Hydro Pump vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Rain: 306-360 (46.9 - 55.2%) -- 69.5% chance to 2HKO.
Also Tera Water reduces the Stealth Rock weakness, which is especially good for Bundle to keep pressuring the opposing team.

I'd also mention Miraidon as a great teammate that activates Quark Drive and makes Iron Bundle immensely difficult to outspeed, as well as the great pivot core they form (Bundle pressures heavily the Grounds, which is exactly what Miraidon look for).

Add tera water as an option as Eledyr said

Physical attackers such as Chien-Pao and Great Tusk appreciate its ability to pressure Physically Defensive Pokemon such as Skeledirge and Scream Tail. In return, they pressure Iron Bundle's premier counters in Blissey and Chansey.
This whole paragraph feels a bit weird to me, you're usually not pairing Bundle with stuff like Chien-Pao and you really don't want to be hard switching in Bundle much at all if you can avoid it.

I would just keep the teammate mentions simple, Miraidon explicitly with U-Turn is a great one to add, since he obviously sets up terrain but also he brings in Ting/Treads which is an easy opportunity to spam Specs Pump.

Add Treads in the hazard control section

Will stamp when implemented

EDIT: Looks good boss QC 1/2

  • A combination of Hydro Pump and Freeze Dry gives it Iron Bundle an unresisted STAB combination, coverage making it extremely threatening with Choice Specs.
  • Flip Turn allows it to pivot in order to gain momentum against Blissey and Chansey (not necessarily)while Ice Beam provides a stronger Ice-type(AH) option in order to OHKO Koraidon and uninvested Miraidon with no investment.
  • Tera Ice allows it to further boost its Ice-type(AH) moves and resist Freeze-Dry(AH) from opposing Iron Bundle and Ditto. Tera Water is a good option on teams with rain support in order to 2HKO Heavy-Duty Boots Blissey in rain after a slight chip in rain.
  • Choice Specs boost allows it to 2HKO walls such as Ting-Lu, Corviknight, and Scream Tail with Hydro Pump as well as Toxapex with Freeze-Dry(AH).
  • Miraidon is a great teammate as it can lure in Pokemon weak to Hydro Pump such as Ting-Lu and Iron Treads and pivot into Iron Bundle using U-turn(lowercase). It also sets up Electric Terrain giving Iron Bundle a Speed(capitalized) boost upon entry.
  • Hazard Control Pokemon removal options such as Corviknight, Iron Treads, and defensive(lowercase) Great Tusk are great teammates,(AC) as Iron Bundle can get worn out pretty quickly from repeatedly switching into Stealth Rock due to the lack of Heavy-Duty Boots.
