Calm Mind Iron Crown is a potent setup sweeper in the tier. With decent bulk and useful resistance, it is able to set up on some offensive Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Tornadus-T as well as ignore Toxic from passive Pokemon like Alomomola. Maximum Speed investment with just 172 Special Attack EVs ensures Iron Crown gets a Speed boost from Quark Drive, allowing it to outspeed many popular threats in the tier such as Tapu Koko, Tornadus-T, and Zamazenta alongside common Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Urshifu-R, so it can set up first against the former foes and not be revenge killed by the latter. Focus Blast is a powerful coverage move that hits Dark-type Pokemon such as Tyranitar and Hisuian Samurott, which are immune to Stored Power, for super effective damage. Iron Defense complements Calm Mind to turn Iron Crown into a nigh-indestructible powerhouse and provides a boost to Stored Power, while Tachyon Cutter can be used for its immediate damage output against Fairy-types and Garganacl or to better deal with opposing Psychic-type Pokemon such as Iron Boulder and Mega Latias better. Tera Fighting makes Focus Blast a STAB move, allowing it to OHKO Heatran unboosted and Ferrothorn at +1, as well as giving Iron Crown a resistance to Dark-type moves from Darkrai and Tyranitar that it would be weak to otherwise. Tera Flying provides an immunity to Ground-type moves from Landorus-T and Garchomp and a resistance to Fighting-type moves from the likes of Zamazenta, and is a better defensive type overall due to it only having a few weaknesses. Calm Mind Iron Crown only becomes dangerous after a few boosts, therefore, dual screens setters like Grimmsnarl and Tapu Koko are exceptional partners, as their screens provide more opportunities for Iron Crown to start setting up. Iron Crown also has great synergy with Tapu Lele, which provides Psychic Terrain to prevent it from being revenge killed by priority moves like Thunder Clap from Raging Bolt and Sucker Punch from Hisuian Samurott and Mega Mawile, as well as increase the damage of Stored Power.

CM Iron Crown is a very potent setup sweeper in the tier. With a decent bulk and the resistance from its typing, it is able to set up in front of many common pokemon like Tapu Lele, Corvknight, and Alomomola. <- i think it would be good here to restructure to something like "set up on some offensive pokemon like lele torn as well as ignore toxic from passive pokemon like mola" Speed boosting spread allow it to outspeed many popular threats in the tier such as Tapu Koko, Tornadus-T, and Zamazenta, so it can set up first against the former ones and not be revenge killed by the latter. also its speed tier lets it outrun scarfers like lele shifu, mention this Iron Defense complements Calm Mind to turn Iron Crown into an nigh-indestructible never forget how crits can screw you over powerhouse and provides boost to Stored Power, while Tachoyon Cutter can be used as immediate damage output against foes like <fairy types + garg> or to help dealing with the opposing Psychic-type pokemon such as Latios boulder mtias etc more relevant better. Stored power is a must-have STAB move that utilizes the boosts Iron Crown stacks, making it unstoppable after several Calm Mind. already said enough on that Focus Blast is a powerful coverage that hits Dark-type pokemon like <ttar and stuffs>, who is immune to Stored Power, for super effective damage. Tera Fighting makes Focus Blast a STAB move, allowing it to OHKO Heatran unboosted and Ferrothorn at +1, as well as giving Iron Crown resistance to Dark-type moves from <darkrai and stuffs>, that it would be weak to otherwise. Tera Fairy also provides resistance to Dark-type moves, and is a better overall defensive type due to it having a few weakness. CM Iron Crown only becomes dangerous after a few boosts due to the mechanic of Stored Power dex info, therefore screen setters like Grimmsnarl and Tapu Koko are exceptional partners, for their screen provides more chance for Iron Crown to start setting up. It also forms a great synergy with Tapu Lele, who provides psychic terrain to prevent Iron Crown from being revenge killed by priority moves or like Sucker Punch from <hsam mmaw and stuffs> also add raging bolt thunderclap, as well as increasing the damage of Stored Power.
