Iron Bundle finds itself a niche in the meta as an exceptionally fast supportive Pokemon, outspeeding Booster Energy Flutter Mane with Quark Drive while providing speed control and disruptive options. Icy Wind provides a consistent form of speed control, taking full advantage of Iron Bundle's role as one of the fastest Pokemon in the game. Encore threatens to punish Fake Out users as well as any setup attempts from the likes of Calyrex-S and Terapagos. Focus Sash is used to make up for Iron Bundle's lack of bulk, allowing it to survive an attack. Tera Ghost enables Iron Bundle to ignore Fake Out, preserving Focus Sash and allowing it to support the team unhindered.

Priority attackers like Rillaboom and Raging Bolt can threaten to KO Iron Bundle before it can move. Bulky Pokemon like Iron Hands don't care about Speed drops from Icy Wind, wall Iron Bundle's STAB moves, and are capable of OHKOing it, while Pokemon holding Clear Amulet or Covert Cloak like Koraidon and the Calyrex formes are unaffected by Iron Bundle's speed control. Miraidon compliments Iron Bundle exceptionally well by providing Electric Terrain to activate Quark Drive as well as threatening Koraidon and the Calyrex formes with Draco Meteor and Electro Drift, respectively. Meanwhile, Miraidon appreciates the speed control provided by Iron Bundle, allowing it to outspeed common threats such as Choice Scarf Tera Ground Chi-Yu, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S after an Icy Wind, with Iron Bundle also punishing Fake Out, Protect, and setup attempts via Encore. Farigiraf is another great partner to block the aforementioned priority attacks, reverse opposing Trick Room, and threaten the Calyrex formes with Foul Play. Iron Hands, similar to Iron Bundle, takes advantage of Electric Terrain to bolster its offensive capabilities, but it also can use its amazing defenses to not only tank Raging Bolt's STAB moves while recovering with Drain Punch but also use its slow Speed to compete against Trick Room, which Iron Bundle struggles against.

Iron Bundle. Miraidon compliments Iron Bundle exceptionally well by providing Electric Terrain to activate Quark Drive, as well as by threatening the aforementioned threats. (Is this really true? Rilla, bolt, and hands are all big threats to miraidon) Meanwhile, Miraidon appreciates the speed control provided by Iron Bundle, allowing it to outspeed common threats such as Choice Scarf Tera Ground Chi-Yu, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S after an Icy Wind, while also punishing any Fake Out attempts. Farigiraf is another great partner, blocking the above mentioned aformentioned priority attacks, functioning well in Trick Room, (does functioning in trick room really benefit bundle though? Reversing Trick Room is probably a better thing to mention here) as well as threatening the Calyrex formes with Foul Play.

Priority attackers like Rillaboom and Raging Bolt can threaten to KO Iron Bundle before it can move. Bulky Pokemon like Iron Hands ignore the Speed drop and is capable of OHKOing Iron Bundle(I think a bigger problem for bundle is that it can't really hurt AV hands), while Pokemon holding Clear Amulet or Covert Cloak like Koraidon and the Calyrex formes are immune to Iron Bundle's speed control. Miraidon compliments Iron Bundle exceptionally well by providing Electric Terrain to activate Quark Drive, as well as by threatening Koraidon and the Calyrex formes with Draco Meteor and Electro Drift, respectively.

Also mention Protect). Farigiraf is another great partner, blocking the aforementioned priority attacks, capable of reversing opposing Trick Room, as well as threatening the Calyrex formes with Foul Play. Iron Hands, similar to Iron Bundle, takes advantage of Electric Terrain to bolster it's offensive capabilities and uses its amazing defenses to threaten Raging Bolt and Rillaboom(How does it use its good defenses to threaten them?), and uses its slow Speed to compete against Trick Room, which Iron Bundle struggles against.

Iron Bundle finds itself a niche in the meta as an exceptionally fast supportive Pokemon, outspeeding Booster Energy Flutter Mane with its ability dex info Quark Drive while providing speed control and disruptive options. Icy Wind provides a consistent form of speed control, taking full advantage of Iron Bundle's role as one of the fastest Pokemon in the game. Encore threatens to punish Fake Out users as well as any set up setup be careful. "set up" refers to boosting stats directly attempts from the likes of Calyrex-S and Terapagos. Focus Sash is used to make up for Iron Bundle's lack of bulk, allowing it to survive an attack. Tera Ghost enables Iron Bundle to ignore Fake Out, preserving Focus Sash and allowing it to support the team unhindered.

Priority attackers like Rillaboom and Raging Bolt can threaten to KO Iron Bundle before it can move. Bulky Pokemon like Iron Hands ignore the don't care about Speed drop drops from Icy Wind They're not literally immune to it, no? You mention covert cloak and clear amulet directly after this, walls wall Iron Bundle's STAB moves, and is are capable of OHKOing it, (AC) while Pokemon holding Clear Amulet or Covert Cloak like Koraidon and the Calyrex formes are immune to unaffected by meaning change: they still take damage from Icy Wind, so "immune" isn't accurate Iron Bundle's speed control. Miraidon compliments Iron Bundle exceptionally well by providing Electric Terrain to activate Quark Drive (RC) as well as by threatening Koraidon and the Calyrex formes with Draco Meteor and Electro Drift, respectively. Meanwhile, Miraidon appreciates the speed control provided by Iron Bundle, allowing it to outspeed common threats such as Choice Scarf Tera Ground Chi-Yu, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S after an Icy Wind, with Iron Bundle also punishing Fake Out, Protect, (AC) and setup or set up attempts via Encore. Farigiraf is another great partner (RC) blocking to block the aforementioned priority attacks, reversing reverse opposing Trick Room, as well as threatening and threaten the Calyrex formes with Foul Play.
