Iron Boulder is an amazing Choice Scarf user on Rock teams due to its amazing Speed tier and part-Psychic typing, which gives it a key role in the Fighting matchup. Choice Scarf Iron Boulder outspeeds and OHKOes common Choice Scarf users like Sneasler, Meowscarada, and Enamorus; it also outspeeds Regieleki, which can be an issue for Rock teams. Mighty Cleave allows Iron Boulder to take out Choice Scarf Enamorus after Stealth Rock, Ogerpon-H, and non-Sucker Punch Chien-Pao. Zen Headbutt lets Iron Boulder deal with Fighting- and Poison-types like Iron Valiant and Sneasler. Earthquake deals with Heatran, Alolan Muk, and Gholdengo, while Close Combat OHKOes Greninja, Meowscarada, and Roaring Moon.

Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine can act as a wallbreaker for Iron Boulder, being able to take on physical walls such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and defensive Gholdengo with Head Smash and Flare Blitz. Hisuian Arcanine can also run a Heavy-Duty Boots set with Will-O-Wisp to annoy Kingambit. Swords Dance Ogerpon-C is an excellent partner, being able to handle Ground- and Water-types such as Mamoswine, Quagsire, and Keldeo. Glimmora is a nice special attacker that deals with walls Iron Boulder can't break through, like Quagsire and Sableye, with its colorful coverage. Glimmora's Toxic Debris comes in handy in the Fairy matchup as well, and it even removes entry hazards with Mortal Spin. Shell Smash Minior can act as a setup sweeper, being able to dent holes in Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Iron Hands so that Iron Boulder can pick them off late-game; providing a Ground immunity for the team is also much appreciated. Kleavor can set up Stealth Rock with Stone Axe, breaking Focus Sashes on common users like Ceruledge and Cloyster. Terrakion can take out Ursaluna-B, Kingambit, Archaludon, and Hisuian Goodra for Iron Boulder. Ghost-types like Dragapult, Spectrier, and Choice Scarf Flutter Mane hurt Iron Boulder's chances of sweeping, so Tyranitar serves as a great partner by checking them and providing sand to boost the team's Special Defense. Coalossal is a good partner, being able to check threats like Scizor, Corviknight, and Kingambit, which would threaten Iron Boulder. Coalossal also removes hazards and can set up its own hazards to ease Iron Boulder's sweeping. In return, Iron Boulder takes out Sneasler, Greninja, and Meowscarada for Tyranitar and Coalossal. IronPress Garganacl can act as a stallbreaker for the team, wearing down defensive Water- and Steel-types such as Gastrodon and Corviknight.

Iron Boulder is an amazing Choice Scarfer on Rock teams due to its amazing speed tier and part Psychic typing. With a speed of 381, Iron Boulder outspeeds and OHKO common Choice Scarf users Scarfers like Sneasler, Meowscarada, and Greninja (Gren isnt bad a mention but maybe Enamorus could be better? Superpower is a threat to rock too. It also notably outspeeds Regieleki, which can be an issue for Rock teams). Mighty Cleave allows Iron Boulder to take out Ogerpon-Hearthflame, Non-Sucker Punch Chien-Pao, and Non-Scarf Flutter Mane (you can connect the enam here, you can revenge kill +1 Enam after rocks too). STAB Zen Headbutt combine with Choice Scarf (Scarf already mentioned earlier) lets Iron Boulder deal with Fighting-, and Poison-types like Sneasler, Iron Valiant, and Clodsire (clod isnt really a problem, you can cut this to just 2 mons, or mention that it could clean fighting if needed). Earthquake checks (its not really a check, rather it deals with it. You can mention this move being kinda cool as it lets you hit Alolan Muk if needed. Mention Megahorn for Ogerpon-W if you want.) Heatran while Close Combat OHKOes Greninja, Meowscarada, and Excadrill out of Sand (Exca is a bit odd due to the out of sand mention, there's other Dark-types like Roaring moon).

Ghost types like Dragapult, Ceruledge, and Choice Scarf Flutter Mane hurts Iron Boulder chances of sweeping so Tyranitar serves as a great partner by checking them and providing Sand to boost the team's Special Defense. This lets Iron Boulder survive a Choice Specs Shadow Ball from Dragapult (This sentence is a bit odd since it shouldnt take one, since its faster anyway. Also, move tyranitar down, prioritize offensive team mates first). In return Iron Boulder takes out Sneasler, and Meowscarada for Tyranitar. Coalossal is a good partner being able to check threats like Scizor, Corviknight, and Kingambit which would hurt Iron Boulder. Coalossal also remove hazards and can set up its own hazards to ease Iron Boulder sweeping. Iron Boulder returns the favor by taking out Iron Valiant.(just to avoid repetition, merge the returns the favor for Ttar and Coal in one sentence instead) Choice Band Hisuian-Arcanine can act as a wallbreaker being able to take on Physical Walls such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Defensive Gholdengo with Head Smash and Flare Blitz.(it can also run a boots set with Will-o-Wisp to screw Steel over + have some protection against Kingambit too) Swords Dance Ogerpon-C is an excellent partner being able to handle Ground-, and Water-types such as Mamomswine, Quagsire, and Keldeo. Glimmora with its colorful moveset coverage is a nice Special Attacker that deals with walls Iron Boulder can't break through for Iron Boulder that cant break through Physical Walls like Toxapex, Sableye, and Mandibuzz (Also Toxic Debris is really nice in the fairy matchup too). Shell Smash Minior can act as a set up sweeper (Boulder isnt a setup sweeper, maybe something more general could be better?) along side Iron boulder and being a ground immune for the team is much appreciated. Being able to dent holes in Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Iron Hands so that Iron Boulder could picked them off in the late game. In exchange Iron boulder takes out Chien-Pao, and Baxcalibur. Kleavor can set up hazards with Stone Axe, breaking Focus Sash users like Ceruledge, and Cloyster. Terrakion takes out Ursaluna-Bloodmoon, Kingambit, Archaludon, and Goodra-Hisui for Iron Boulder.
*Add Garganacl, its still a decent team mate considering you have included defensive pivots in TTar/Coal

Glimmora is a nice special attacker that deals with walls Iron Boulder can't break through, like Quagsire and Sableye, with its colorful coverage. Glimmora's Toxic Debris comes in handy in the Fairy matchup as well, and it even removes entry hazards with Mortal Spin. Shell Smash Minior can act as a setup sweeper, being able to dent holes in Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Iron Hands so that Iron Boulder can pick them off late-game; being providing a Ground immunity for the team is also much appreciated. Kleavor can set up Stealth Rock with Stone Axe, breaking Focus Sashes on common users like Ceruledge and Cloyster. Terrakion can take out Ursaluna-B, Kingambit, Archaludon, and Hisuian Goodra for Iron Boulder. Ghost-types like Dragapult, Spectrier, and Choice Scarf Flutter Mane hurt Iron Boulder's chances of sweeping, so Tyranitar serves as a great partner by checking them and providing sand to boost the team's Special Defense. Coalossal is a good partner, being able to check threats like Scizor, Corviknight, and Kingambit, (AC) which would threaten Iron Boulder. Coalossal also removes hazards and can set up its own hazards to ease Iron Boulder's sweeping. In return, Iron Boulder takes out Sneasler, Greninja, and Meowscarada for Tyranitar and Coalossal. IronPress Garganacl can act as a stallbreaker for the team, wearing down defensive Water- and Steel-types such as Gastrodon (RC) and Corviknight.

[SET COMMENTS]
Iron Boulder is an amazing Choice Scarf user on Rock teams due to its amazing Speed tier and partial Psychic part-Psychic typing, which gives it a key role in the Fighting matchup. With a speed of 381, (dex info) Choice Scarf Iron Boulder outspeeds and OHKOes common Choice Scarf users like Sneasler, Meowscarada, and Enamorus; it also outspeeds Regieleki, which can be an issue for Rock teams. Mighty Cleave allows Iron Boulder to take out Choice Scarf Enamorus after Stealth Rock, Ogerpon-Hearthflame, and non-Sucker Punch Chien-Pao. Zen Headbutt lets Iron Boulder deal with Fighting- and Poison-types like Iron Valiant and Sneasler. Earthquake deals with Heatran, Alolan Muk, and Gholdengo, while Close Combat OHKOes Greninja, Meowscarada, and Roaring Moon.
(should this not be 1 paragraph?)
Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine can act as a wallbreaker for Iron Boulder, being able to take on physical walls such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and defensive Gholdengo with Head Smash and Flare Blitz. Hisuian Arcanine can also run a Heavy-Duty Boots set with Will-O-Wisp to annoy Kingambit. Swords Dance Ogerpon-C is an excellent partner, being able to handle Ground- and Water-types such as Mamoswine, Quagsire, and Keldeo.
