Iron Crown @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive

Iron Crown cuts through Doubles OU! Thanks to 92 HP EVs, Booster Energy will boost Iron Crown's Speed, making it faster than many Pokemon such as the Ogerpon formes, Chien-Pao, and Landorus, which also helps it set up with Calm Mind safely. Expanding Force is an incredibly scary move under Psychic Terrain, which Iron Crown will find itself under many times during a battle thanks to its mandatory partner Indeedee-F. Tachyon Cutter slices through Chien-Pao, a common Psychic-immune foe, as well as Alolan Ninetales and Diancie. Tera Psychic boosts Expanding Force to absurd levels, getting huge OHKOs under Psychic Terrain such as on Assault Vest Iron Hands and offensive Ogerpon-W. In addition to providing Psychic Terrain, Indeedee-F can support Iron Crown with Follow Me and Helping Hand. Whimsicott and Tornadus are nice partners, as the opponent might have a Tailwind setter of their own, and they also help in case Iron Crown needs to switch out and can't use its Speed boost anymore. Iron Crown can struggle to get past foes like Incineroar and Chi-Yu, as they resist or are immune to its STAB moves, so Pokemon like Landorus, Ogerpon-W, and Iron Defense Kommo-o make for good partners.

Iron Crown cuts through Doubles OU! Thanks to its 92 HP EVs, Booster Energy will boost Iron Crown's Speed, making it a fearsome wallbreaker once it begins boosting with Calm Mind. Expanding Force is an incredibly scary move, as it can deal tons of damage under Psychic Terrain, which it will find itself under many times during a battle go ahead and mention indeedee being mandatory here imo "thanks to support from its mandatory partner Indeedee-F". and for switch-ins to Expanding Force such as Focus Sash Chien-Pao or Diancie, you can use Tachyon Cutter, as it can also slice through Alolan Ninetales. tdiancie isn't really an expanding force switchin, i'd rather this point just be that it bonks pao through sash and also blows up diancie/tales Tera Psychic boosts Expanding Force to absurd levels, getting huge OHKOs under Psychic Terrain such as Assault Vest Iron Hands and offensive Ogerpon-W. Indeedee-F is an essential partner for Iron Crown, as not only does it set up Psychic Terrain with its ability, but it also helps with its support in Follow Me and Helping Hand, which helps in redirecting attacks that might go to Iron Crown and boost up its attacks respectively. since I said indeedee should be mentioned earlier in the writing just remember to cut this back a bit "In addition to providing Psychic Terrain, Indeedee can..." Whimsicott yeah whimsi is on the sample team but tornadus works too, really just having any prankster tailwind to contest opposing tailwind is good. is also a nice partner, as the opponent might have a Tailwind setter of their own, and it also helps in case Iron Crown needs to switch out and can't use its Speed boost anymore. Iron Crown can also struggle to get past opponents like Incineroar and Archaludon, as they resist or are immune to its STABs, so Pokemon like Landorus also make for good partners. other good mentions: ogerponw for anti incin/chiyu + follow me support, iron defense kommo-o for threatening steels/darks

Iron Crown cuts through Doubles OU! Thanks to its 92 HP EVs, Booster Energy will boost Iron Crown's Speed, making it a fearsome wallbreaker once it begins boosting with Calm Mind. being faster doesn't really make it a wallbreaker, and this term doesn't apply much to dou anyways. speed boost allows it to outspeed chienpao/lando-i/ogerpon forms which is what should be emphasized Expanding Force is an incredibly scary move, as it can deal tons of damage under Psychic Terrain, which it will find itself under many times during a battle thanks to support from its mandatory partner Indeedee-F. and for switch-ins to Expanding Force such as Focus Sash Chien-Pao, you can use Tachyon Cutter, as it can also slice through Alolan Ninetales and Diancie. this is phrased a bit weirdly, maybe GP will have a better idea to rewrite but my idea would be "Tachyon Clutter slices through Chien-Pao, a common Psychic immunity, as well as Alolan Ninetales and Diancie." Tera Psychic boosts Expanding Force to absurd levels, getting huge OHKOs under Psychic Terrain such as Assault Vest Iron Hands and offensive Ogerpon-W. In addition to providing Psychic Terrain, Indeedee can support with Follow Me and Helping Hand, which helps in redirecting attacks that might go to Iron Crown and boost up its attacks respectively.
