[SET COMMENTS]
Iron Hands is the premier specially defensive pivot on Fighting teams thanks to its massive HP stat in conjunction with Assault Vest. It is bulky enough to respond to the strongest special attackers in the tier, such as Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, Greninja, and Iron Moth. Drain Punch provides much needed recovery while using Assault Vest while Thunder Punch is used instead of Wild Charge to avoid chip damage. Heavy Slam hits Fairy-types like Hatterene and allows it to revenge kill Flutter Mane. Despite these strengths, Iron Hands is unable to freely switch in on Flutter Mane and Greninja, as they often run Choice Specs and heavily damage Iron Hands or 2HKO it altogether. Volt Switch allows Iron Hands to keep momentum when it forces switches, allowing it to pivot on physically bulky switch-ins like Skeledirge and Amoonguss. Earthquake is a strong coverage option that hits Poison-types like Clodsire and Iron Moth. Rock Slide is an alternative option to hit Kilowattrel and deal with Volcarona without risking a burn from Flame Body.

Great Tusk appreciates Iron Hands's ability to tank neutral special hits like Water-type attacks from Greninja and Pelipper and force them out. In return, Great Tusk takes Ground-type attacks from opposing Great Tusk and Ting-Lu. Furthermore, Great Tusk removes Ting-Lu's Spikes and Clodsire's Toxic Spikes, which cut into Iron Hands's longevity. Breloom and Gallade assist Iron Hands with the Ground and Psychic matchups, respectively, threatening foes like Quagsire and Gastrodon for the former, and Amoonguss and Clodsire for the latter. Breloom appreciates Iron Hands switching into Fire-type attacks from Volcarona and forcing Flying-types like Iron Jugulis to switch. Iron Valiant appreciates Iron Hands's slow Volt Switch, allowing Iron Valiant to switch in freely against opposing Fighting teams. Iron Valiant also threatens common physically defensive Pokemon like Dondozo, Skeledirge, Ting-Lu, and Great Tusk. Choice Scarf users such as Quaquaval and Paldean Tauros-F check threats to Iron Hands like Choice Specs Greninja and Flutter Mane, while Iron Hands handles defensive checks such as Calm Mind Hatterene with Heavy Slam in return.

Iron Hands is the premier specially defensive pivot on Fighting teams thanks to its massive HP stat in conjunction with Assault Vest, it. It is bulky enough to respond to the strongest special attackers in the tier, such as Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, Greninja and Iron Moth. Drain Punch is the preferred Fighting STAB move on Iron Hands, allowing it to recover its health back since it has no reliable recovery options and it cannot carry Leftovers., and Thunder Punch is Iron Hands' its secondary STAB move, which threatens Water- and Flying-type teams You don't really need to explain the usefulness of TPunch. Heavy Slam allows Iron Hands to hit Fairy-type pPokemon super-effectively and allows it to revenge kill pPokemon that it can switch in on This makes it sound like Iron Hands can freely switch in on these mons, which isn't the case since they often run a Specs set like non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Volt Switch allows Iron Hands to keep momentum when it forces switches, allowing it to get its teammates in freely like Iron Valiant This idea is repeated in your second paragraph - you could instead name a few of the matchups that Volt Switch allows Iron Hands to escape, like Skeledirge, Toxapex, or Amoonguss. Earthquake is a strong coverage option that lets Iron Hands hit Poison-types like Clodsire and Iron Moth. Rock Slide is also an alternative option to hit chip Kilowattrel and deal with Volcarona without risking a burn from Flame Body Bug- and Flying-types and not risk detrimental secondary effects like burn from Flame Body Volcarona and Talonflame.

Great Tusk is one teammate of Iron Hands that appreciates its Iron Hands' overall ability of taking to tank neutral special hits like Water-type attacks from Greninja and Pelipper and is able to force them out. In return, Great Tusk is physically bulky enough to take Ground-type attacks from opposing Great Tusk and Ting-Lu. Furthermore, Great Tusk is able to spin away Ting-Lu's Spikes and Clodsire's Toxic Spikes, which cut into Iron Hands' longevity. Breloom and Gallade assist Iron Hands with the Ground and Psychic matchup, respectively, being able to threaten foes like Quagsire and Gastrodon for the former, and Amoonguss and Clodsire for the latter. Breloom is also one teammate that assists Iron Hands with the Ground matchup, being able to threaten pPokemon like Quagsire, who is able to wall Iron Hands, and threaten it with either Earthquake or poisoning a switchin with Toxic. Breloom appreciates Iron Hands switching into Fire-type attacks from Volcarona and threatening out Flying-types like Corviknight and You don't really threaten Corv since it can heal and setup with Iron Defense Iron Jugulis. Iron Valiant appreciates Iron Hands' slow Volt Switch, which allows it to get in freely vs opposing Fighting teams and also lets it threaten common physically defensive pPokemon like Dondozo, Skeledirge, Ting-Lu and Great Tusk. You could maybe add a general sentence to say how useful Scarfers are as teammates, since they can deal with faster threats like Specs Gren/Flutt while Iron Hands handles bulkier mons such as CM Hatterene.
