Benefiting from a great defensive typing and good utility like hazards and removal, Iron Treads can be a great addition to most teams. Its Ground and Steel typing allows it to completely counter Pokemon such as Raging Bolt and Slowking-Galar, Tapu Lele, Zapdos and Clefable. Ice Spinner helps it threathen other Ground-types like Landorus-T and Gliscor, effectively 2HKOes them. Icium Z KOes those two, as well as Garchomp.
Stealth Rock offers huge support for Iron Treads' team by chipping the opposing Pokemon.It is able to get them up consistently against Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Slowking-Galar. It can also threathen general hazard removers like Landorus-T. Gliscor and Corviknight with the right coverage move. Supercell Slam can be helpful against Pokemon that it would normally struggle to hit such as Alomomola, Slowbro, Corviknight and Charizard-Mega-Y. Electium Z can eliminate the first three after chip and one shot Charizard-Mega-Y. Stealth Rock offers huge support for Iron Tread's team throughout the course of a game. Rapid Spin is also an important support move, removing hazards and making Iron Treads faster than Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Koko and Latios-Mega. Its base speed is very useful at revenge killing slower Pokemon like Garchomp, Tapu Lele and Gholdengo.

Iron Treads can fit very well on offense, bulky offense and bulky balance teams due to its utility and reliable STAB in Eartquake. It can help rain teams by being a great Raging Bolt answer and an excellent pivot via Eject Button. It takes advantage of Tapu Koko's terrain and gets a boost in speed, being able to completely counter it. Pokemon that would normally have trouble with Tapu Koko like Alomomola, Toxapex and Moltres all benefit from this. It also has a decent matchup into Tapu Lele, being able to take both of its STAB moves but not Focus Blast. Iron Treads can act as a good teammate for Charizard-Mega-Y by being able to check Raging Bolt and Tyranitar-Mega. Iron Treads struggles to hit Fighting-types like Great and Loppuny-Mega for meaningful damage. Tapu Lele and and Latios-Mega are both great teammates in this regard. It also has trouble against Pokemon such as Scizor-Mega and Ferrothorn, but Charizard-Mega-Y or Cinderace can help.

hi there at a glance this is really really short, can we beef it up a little here are some suggestions

para 1: set is wrong so your missing knock off mention and leftovers should not be there, explain why treads can consistently get up rocks (against what?), explain why treads is a decent spinner (against what?), more mention of the benefits of being a steel type in the first two lines, and some mention of its speed being useful, maaaaaybe a mention of ebutton on rain thats up to you

para 2: explain its role, and then explain why it fits on the archetypes suggested (slightly different role on offense compared to the other two ngl), some mention of it being a dedicated bolt answer on rain (and more about rain in general), some extra teammates that benefit from it switching into lele and mlatios (kinda) and actually maybe a little about how it can act as an aggressive hard switch into all sorts of stuff like ival and terap and melmetal for doubling or something

Benefiting from a great defensive typing and good utility what kind?, Iron Treads can be a great addition to most teams. Its ground typing allows it to completely counter Pokemon such as Raging Bolt and Slowking-Galar not only its ground typing alone... you could instead combine with the next sentence and lump the things it checks together. Its Steel-type makes it a great answer to a plethora of Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Zapdos and Clefable. Ice Spinner gives it more leeway not a great term here, maybe just simply "threatens" against other Ground-types like Landorus-T and Gliscor, effectively being able to eliminate them in two hits <= this entire chunk just means "2HKOes them" you could shorten this sentence. i did say the analysis was short but fluff like this isn't really useful, and if no more content can be added then ig its fine. Icium Z allows Iron Treads to dispose of them in one hit. <= you can combine these => It can also cleanly KO a Garchomp from full health. Supercell Slam can be helpful against Pokemon that it would normally struggle to hit such as Alomomola, Slowbro, Corviknight and Charizard-Mega-Y. Electium Z can eliminate the first three after chip and one shot Charizard-Mega-Y. Stealth Rock offers huge support for Iron Tread's team throughout the course of a game. what kind? what does it do? also, move this sentence before the supercell slam mentions It is able to get them up consistently against Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Slowking-Galar and Raging Bolt can it also setup on common removal? threaten them or switch into them?. Rapid Spin is also an important support move, removing hazards and making Iron Treads faster than Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Koko and Latios-Mega. some mention of its base speed being useful? able to revenge kill to a small extent by outspeeding chomp lele and what else

Iron Treads can fit very well on offense, bulky offense and bulky balance teams. why? It can help rain teams by being a great Raging Bolt answer and an excellent pivot via Eject Button. Its stab Eartquake decimates Clodsire not very relevant.. something else? also, this guy is not great at removing checks offensively since they would rather just switch out, so consider removing this entire sentence. and Slowking Galar, making way for Volcarona and Raging Bolt to sweep. It takes advantage of Tapu Koko's terrain and gets a boost in speed, being able to completely counter it. Pokemon that would normally have trouble with Tapu Koko like Alomomola, Toxapex and Moltres all benefit from this. It also has a good matchup into Tapu Lele, being able to take both of its STAB moves with no issues while hitting Tapu Lele on its weaker side lele focus blast does a ton to it, its more of a check. Pokemon like Raging Bolt, Dragonite and Lopunny-Mega greatly appreciate this how so? can treads bait and ko lele or does it just switch in for them?. Iron Treads can act as a good teammate for Charizard-Mega-Y by being able to check Raging Bolt and Tyranitar-Mega. Iron Treads struggles to hit Great Tusk for meaningful damage only great tusk? more general categories are better here. Tapu Lele, Slowbro slowbro not an offensive pick even though technically it does threaten tusk and Latios-Mega are all great teammates in this regard. It also has trouble against Pokemon such as Scizor-Mega and Ferrothorn, but Charizard-Mega-Y or Cinderace can help.
not yet 1/2, but i will probably forget to return to this.. so once you implement please ping someone else, good work so far
