Iron Moth is a powerful special attacker that also provides good defensive utility thanks to Desolate Land and Morning Sun. Its near-unique offensive typing lets it threaten common walls like Ice Scales Corviknight and Scream Tail, especially when boosted by sun. U-turn can be used to maintain momentum against predicted switch-ins like Garchomp and Garganacl, while Toxic Spikes punishes switch-ins with status. Iron Moth complements Ice Scales Corviknight and Clodsire, as it covers their vulnerability to Iron Bundle. Pokemon like Dragapult, Flutter Mane, and Dragonite appreciate Iron Moth taking advantage of their Steel-type checks like Corviknight.
