Benefiting from a great defensive typing and good utility, 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. Ice Spinner gives it more leeway against other Ground-types like Landorus-T and Gliscor, effectively being able to eliminate them in two hits. Icium Z allows Iron Treads to dispose of them in one hit. 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 and Rapid Spin offer huge support for the team throughout the course of a game.

Iron Treads can fit very well on offense, bulky offense and bulky balance teams. Its stab Eartquake decimates Clodsire 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. 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. Tapu Lele, Slowbro 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.
