[SET COMMENTS]
Iron Moth makes a great offensive pivot in the tier thanks to its high Special Attack, good Speed tier, and ability to utilize Desolate Land excellently with Fiery Dance and Morning Sun. U-turn lets Iron Moth pivot out from Pokemon that threaten it such as Azelf, Roaring Moon, and Dragonite. Toxic can cripple switch-ins such as Meloetta and Manaphy. Discharge threatens Pokemon like Barraskewda, Primordial Sea Manaphy, Well-Baked Body Corviknight, and Mandibuzz. Dazzling Gleam can 2HKO Dragon-types such as Walking Wake, Dragonite, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, and can OHKO Kommo-o and offensive Roaring Moon. Sludge Wave OHKOs Pokemon like Ogerpon-H and Barraskewda, as well as being able to 2HKO Zapdos and Scream Tail. Iron Moth struggles to break through RegenVest Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Meloetta, and Manaphy, so it pairs well with other offensive Pokemon such as Ceruledge, Weavile, and Thundurus, while in return, Iron Moth is able to absorb Toxic Spikes which can be crucial for its teammates. Iron Moth is weak to Knock Off users like Manaphy, which can allow for it to get chipped down by entry hazards, so it appreciates hazard removal from Pokemon such as Great tusk and Corviknight. Iron Moth also appreciates entry hazards from the likes of Garchomp, Heatran, and Empoleon, which wears down the opposing team, letting Iron Moth guarantee an OHKO on Zamazenta-C as well as pick off weakened Manaphy and Hisuian Goodra. Pivots such as Azelf, Zapdos, and Corviknight can pair well with U-turn Iron Moth sets by forming a VoltTurn core, letting Iron Moth pivot in on Pokemon it checks.

U-turn lets Iron Moth to Pivot out on Pokemon that threaten it such as Azelf and Dragonite. Line about Toxic cripping switch-ins and wearing down potential answers goes here Discharge threatens Pokemon such as Barraskewda, Primordial Sea Manaphy, Well-Baked-Body Corviknight, and Mandibuzz. Dazzling Gleam can help against 2HKO Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon, Walking Wake, and Dragonite, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, while OHKOing Kommo-O and offensive Roaring Moon.

Iron Moth struggles to break Through RegenVest Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Meloetta, and Manaphy so it can pair well with other offensive Pokemon such as Ceruledge, Weavile, and Thundurus. mention that part of why iron moth pairs well with these threats is them explicitly beating regenvests Due to Common Knock Off users such as Manaphy, Empoleon, and Azelf, Iron Moth can appreciate hazard removal just in case from Pokemon such as Corviknight, Great tusk, and Mandibuzz. this is phrased kind of awkwardly, but also Iron Moth really shouldn't be taking a knock off unless it's in a bad spot. you can mention iron moths weakness to the common knock off, though Iron Moth also appreciates entry hazards from the likes of Garchomp, Heatran, and Empoleon, which can wear down the opposing team putting them in range for Iron Moth to OHKO. some relevant calcs here would be nice PokemonPivots such as Azelf, Zapdos, and Corviknight can pair well with U-Turn Iron Moth as well being able form ,forming a pivot spam VoltTurn core, letting Iron Moth pivot in on Pokemon it checks.
