Iron Crown @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Quark Drive
EVs: 216 HP / 24 Def / 16 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Iron Defense
- Tachyon Cutter
- Stored Power / Psyshock
Iron Crown slices and powers its way through SV 1v1! Using both Iron Defense and Calm Mind, Iron Crown is able to tank super effective hits from hard hitters like Choice Band Great Tusk, Ursaluna-B, and boosted Archaludon, allowing for its Weakness Policy to activate to supercharge its attacks. Tachyon Cutter not only slices through most Pokemon that don't resist it, but it also works as a way to break Sturdy on Pokemon such as Hisuian Avalugg and Donphan. Finally, with Stored Power, it can burst through foes that activate its Weakness Policy or allow it to set up, letting it take down Pokemon such as Pecharunt and Bellibolt. Alternatively, Psyshock helps in the Encore + Disable Iron Valiant matchup and beat opposing Calm Mind users like Primarina, though it can be slightly unreliable due to Torrent. Iron Crown can struggle to deal with Steel-types such as Metagross, Hisuian Goodra, and Kingambit, so having teammates like Ogerpon-H, Volcanion, and Iron Hands can help to deal with them. Iron Crown doesn't fare well versus faster Pokemon such as Ogerpon-H, Darkrai, and Iron Moth that threaten OHKOs against it, so having teammates like Regidrago, Gouging Fire, and Ursaluna can discourage their uses.
