Ferrothorn acts as a defensive entry hazard setter that checks Pokemon such as Tapu Koko and Mega Swampert. Power Whip pressures Pokemon like Gastrodon and Ting-Lu, while Gyro Ball dents Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Zamazenta while also pressuring Tornadus-T. Knock Off removes Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots from switch-ins like Volcarona, Heatran, Zapdos, and opposing Ferrothorn. Leech Seed helps with Ferrothorn's longevity versus vs Pokemon like Dragonite, Weavile, and Mega Swampert while also chipping the opponent's Pokemon. Tera Ghost can be used to check Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Urshifu-R; however, due to its excellent defensive typing, Ferrothorn shouldn't be Terastallized outside of emergency situations. Ferrothorn's Spikes benefits wallbreakers like Weavile, Mega Lopunny, and Tapu Koko, since many of their checks such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, and opposing Ferrothorn are grounded. Ferrothorn's ability to check Water- and Electric-types like Mega Swampert, Floatzel, and Tapu Koko benefits pokemon like Tornadus-T and Heatran by covering their weaknesses; in return, they take advantage of the Spikes Ferrothorn lays and can help check Pokemon it struggles with such as Volcarona and Skeledirge. Rocky Helmet can be used over Leftovers to punish contact moves, though it comes at the cost of Ferrothorn's longevity. Ferrothorn struggles with Fire- and Fighting-types like Heatran, Mega Lopunny, and Zamazenta, meaning Ferrothorn pairs well with Pokemon like Toxapex and Gholdengo. Gholdengo also blocks Defog, allowing Ferrothorn's Spikes to stay up. Ferrothorn can be setup fodder for Pokemon like Gholdengo and Annihilape, so teammates with Unaware like Clodsire and Skeledirge can help alleviate that problem.
