Defensive Iron Moth provides a unique utility role for Poison teams making use of its solid speed and serviceable natural bulk to consistently checks the likes of Iron Valiant, Scizor, and bulky Spectrier. Flamethrower puts pressure onto Steel- and Ice-types such as Scizor, Iron Treads, and Gholdengo. Discharge can be vital for helping to spread paralysis along with handling Water-types like Pelipper and Toxapex which easily take its Fire STAB along with threatening Moltres. Alternatively Sludge Wave can be used to easily handle Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales along with removing Ogerpon-H after minor chip. Toxic can help to force timers onto bulkier Calm Mind users like Raging Bolt and Volcarona while U-turn can be used to keep Momentum for Iron Moth's teammates. The main EV spread with a Timid nature makes full use of Iron Moth's speed still allowing it to outspeed and eliminate Iron Treads and Alolan Ninetales without worry while the secondary spread with a Calm nature allows Iron Moth to outspeed Timid Heatran while maximuming its bulk allowing it to survive an Enamorus Earth Power from full.
Amoonguss serves a key teammate to Iron Moth being able to handle Water- and Ground-types threats such as Ogerpon-W, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk with ease along with being able to take Knock Off from foes like Alolan Muk and Empoleon preventing Iron Moth from losing its boots. Galarian Weezing provides a strong check to foes like Clodsire, Garchomp, and Dragonite while apprecating Iron Moth handling Gholdengo.
