Iron Treads is a great Choice Scarf user on Steel teams due to its great Speed tier, notably allowing it to outpace Volcarona after a Quiver Dance and Mega Charizard X after a Dragon Dance. It also has (sentence was getting long) a great variety of coverage moves, aiding against Landorus and the aforementioned Fire-types. Earthquake targets threats such as Heatran, Zeraora, Sneasler, and Gholdengo. Iron Head hits Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, Iron Valiant, and Enamorus, while Volt Switch allows Iron Treads to maintain momentum and pivot out of unfavorable switch-ins like Pelipper and Slowbro. Ice Spinner hits Ground- and Dragon-types such as Landorus, Dragonite, and Garchomp while also aiding in the Flying matchup, removing Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Gliscor. Furthermore, Ice Spinner removes Psychic Terrain for Mega Scizor, which relies on Bullet Punch. Stone Edge threatens Fire- and Flying-types like Volcarona, Articuno, and Mega Charizard Y. Alternatively, Knock Off pressures defensive switch-ins such as Rotom-W, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn while also being Iron Treads's best move against Air Balloon Gholdengo and Latias. Iron Treads can provide emergency entry hazard removal via Rapid Spin for faster-paced Steel teams. Hard Press is a niche option to remove frail targets like Meowscarada; however, Iron Head allows Iron Treads to revenge kill weakened Pokemon. Gholdengo is an excellent teammate that greatly capitalizes on Z-Moves, offers a Fighting-type immunity, and acts as a situational Ground-type immunity with Air Balloon. It also removes walls like Slowbro, Corviknight, and defensive Great Tusk. In return, Iron Treads offers a valuable answer to Fire-types such as Cinderace, Volcanion, and Victini. Heatran absorbs Fire-type attacks from faster threats like Choice Scarf Blacephalon and Iron Moth, in addition to setting up Stealth Rock to wear down switch-ins for Iron Treads. Celesteela and Corviknight offer a Ground-type immunity, walling Sand Rush Excadrill and Hippowdon. Furthermore, Corviknight provides slow pivoting via U-turn, while Celesteela pressures foes with residual chip damage using Toxic and Leech Seed. In exchange, Iron Treads threatens Electric-type Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Regieleki, and Sandy Shocks, as well as Fire teams, removing Hisuian Arcanine and Ceruledge once its Focus Sash has been broken. Ferrothorn is a great buffer against Water- and Ground- types like Gastrodon, Swampert, Mamoswine, and Slowking. Additionally, Ferrothorn boasts an array of utility options such as Leech Seed, Knock Off, and Spikes, wearing down Iron Treads's switch-ins and allowing for a free Stone Edge moveslot.

Iron Treads is the premier Choice Scarf user on Steel teams due to its Ground typing, exemplary Speed tier, and great variety of coverage moves, aiding in the Fire, Electric, Poison, and mirror Steel matchups. Earthquake targets threats from the aforementioned types such as Heatran, Zeroara, Sneasler, and Gholdengo. Iron Head hits Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, Iron Valiant, and Enamorus while Volt Switch allows Iron Treads to maintain momentum and pivot out of unfavourable switch-ins. Ice Spinner hits Ground- and Dragon-types such as Landorus, Dragonite, and Garchomp while also aiding in the Flying matchup, removing Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Gliscor also mention Spinner's utility about removing terrains in the fairy and psy mus. Stone Edge threatens Fire- and Flying-types like Volcarona, Articuno, and Mega Charizard Y give a short mention of it being able to outrun volc at +1. Alternatively, Knock Off pressures defensive switch-ins such as Rotom-W, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn as well as being Iron Treads' best move versus Air Balloon Gholdengo, Latias, and Celebi. Air Balloon Gholdengo is an excellent switch-in for Fighting- and Ground-types like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Choice Scarf Sneasler. In return, Iron Treads offers a valuable answer to Fire-types such as Cinderace, Volcanion, and Victini. Heatran absorbs Fire-type attacks from faster threats like Choice Scarf Blacephalon and Iron Moth, in addition to setting up Stealth Rock to wear down switch-ins for Iron Treads. Celesteela and Corviknight offer a Ground-type immunity, walling Sand Rush Excadrill and Hippowdon.

In exchange, Iron Treads threatens Electric-type Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Regieleki, and Sandy Shocks as well as Fire teams, removing Hisuian Arcanine and Skeledirge. Ferrothorn is a great buffer against Water- and Ground- types like Gastrodon, Swampert, Mamoswine, and Slowking. Additionally, Ferrothorn boasts an array of utility options such as Leech Seed, Knock Off, and Spikes, wearing down Iron Treads' switch-ins and allows for a free Stone Edge moveslot.

notes:
after knock, mention about rapid spin
add Hard Press as an option over Iron head ONLY in text

Iron Treads is the premier (debateable, just say good) Choice Scarf user on Steel teams due to its Ground typing (its not good because its "ground", its more about the last point. Something I'd note but you dont need to add is that Treads isnt that great on Elec and Poison compared to Excadrill, which has Mold Breaker. However, Treads is good on Fire and killing Landorus-I Because of the speedtier that surpasses +1 Zard-X and Volcaroo), exemplary Speed tier, and great variety of coverage moves, aiding in the Fire, Electric, Poison, and mirror Steel matchups (use Pokemon examples rather than matchup examples instead). Choice Scarf notably allows Iron Treads to outpace Volcarona after a Quiver Dance (like this). Earthquake targets threats from the aforementioned types such as Heatran, Zeroara, Sneasler, and Gholdengo. Iron Head hits Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, Iron Valiant, and Enamorus while Volt Switch allows Iron Treads to maintain momentum and pivot out of unfavourable switch-ins. Ice Spinner hits Ground- and Dragon-types such as Landorus, Dragonite, and Garchomp while also aiding in the Flying matchup, removing Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Gliscor. Furthermore, Ice Spinner clears Psychic Terrain for Mamoswine and Misty Terrain to allow Pokemon like Clodsire and Gliscor to spread status ailments (? Mention removing Psy Terrain for Scizor's BP). Stone Edge threatens Fire- and Flying-types like Volcarona, Articuno, and Mega Charizard Y. Alternatively, Knock Off pressures defensive switch-ins such as Rotom-W, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn as well as being Iron Treads' best move versus Air Balloon Gholdengo, Latias, and Celebi (Z move user, go volt switch). Iron Treads can provide last second entry hazard removal via Rapid Spin for more fast paced Steel teams. Hard Press is a niche option to remove frail targets like Meowscarada, however, Iron Head allows it to revenge kill weakened Pokemon. Air Balloon Gholdengo is an excellent switch-in for Fighting- and Ground-types like Great Tusk (knock off), Landorus-T (u-turn), and Choice Scarf Sneasler (uturn. Maybe just take note of Ghold's offensive prowess + ability to use a Z move instead?). In return, Iron Treads offers a valuable answer to Fire-types such as Cinderace, Volcanion, and Victini. Heatran absorbs Fire-type attacks from faster threats like Choice Scarf Blacephalon and Iron Moth, in addition to setting up Stealth Rock to wear down switch-ins for Iron Treads.

In exchange, Iron Treads threatens Electric-type Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Regieleki, and Sandy Shocks as well as Fire teams, removing Hisuian Arcanine and Skeledirge (you dont beat skele). Ferrothorn is a great buffer against Water- and Ground- types like Gastrodon, Swampert, Mamoswine, and Slowking.
