Lairon is a dangerous Stealth Rock setter with its solid defensive typing, powerful Rock STAB move in Head Smash, and great coverage to discourage the entire tier from switching in safely. Lairon's Head Smash threatens to 2HKO many common defensive walls such as Swalot, Ivysaur, and Regenerator Duosion after Stealth Rock damage. Superpower hits Pokemon that resist Head Smash such as Scraggy, Klang, and opposing Lairon. Heavy Slam is preferred in the last slot as another STAB move that is stronger against lighter foes like Carbink and Vibrava. Roar is an alternative option to phaze Pokemon that want to come in and set up in front of Lairon like Duosion or to chip away at opposing Pokemon that sit on it like Bronzor. Toxic is an option that does well at chipping down a common switch-in, Vibrava, to deter it from coming in and removing Lairon's entry hazards. Toxic also wears down other Ground-types like Hippopotas and Marshtomp, which can comfortably switch into Lairon's attacks. Rock Head allows Head Smash to be a spammable move and keeps Lairon healthy.

Lairon does well on balance and offensive teams looking for an entry hazard setter that can put pressure on hazard removers like Dustox and physical walls like Ivysaur and Carbink. Cleaners like Klang, Choice Scarf Krokorok, and Huntail appreciate Lairon's ability to put a dent in the likes of Swalot and Duosion. Teammates that can come in and take advantage of opposing Vibrava like Jumpluff and Ivysaur are appreciated. Vibrava is a great pairing, since it can deal with a lot of Pokemon that threaten Lairon such as Pignite, Krokorok, and Gigalith, while Lairon can come in on Pokemon that bother Vibrava like Dustox, Wigglytuff, and Persian. Lairon needs teammates that can help deal with Bronzor, since Bronzor outright walls and beats it, so Pokemon such as Krokorok, Scraggy, and Magic Guard Duosion help alleviate this problem. Faster teammates are always appreciated to make up for Lairon's slow Speed, especially those that benefit from its wallbreaking like Sawsbuck and Jumpluff.

Lairon is a dangerous entry hazard setter with its solid defensive typing, powerful Rock STAB move in Head Smash, and great coverage to threaten the entire tier from switching in safely. Stealth Rocks are a vital part of any team in order to force progress and put foes into better KO ranges for Lairon and its teammates. Lairon's Head Smash threatens to 2HKO many common defensive walls after Stealth Rock damage, such as Swalot, Ivysaur, and Regenerator Duosion. Superpower hits Pokemon that resist or are neutral to Head Smash such as Gigalith, Klang, and opposing Lairon. Heavy Slam is preferred in the last slot as another STAB move that is stronger into lighter foes like Carbink and Vibrava. Roar is an alternative option to phaze out Pokemon that want to come in and set up in front of Lairon like Duosion, or to chip away at the opposing team that carry Pokemon that come in and sit on it like Bronzor. Toxic is an option that does well at chipping down a common switch-in, Vibrava, to deter it from coming in and removing Lairon's hazards. Toxic also wears down other Ground-types like Hippopotas and Marshtomp which can comfortably switch into Lairon's attacks. (Feel free to reword to make this flow better) Rock Head allows Head Smash to be a spammable move and keeps Lairon healthy.

Lairon does well on balance and offensive teams looking for an entry hazard setter that can put pressure on hazard removers like Dustox, and physical walls like Ivysaur and Carbink. Cleaners and sweepers like Klang, Krokorok, and Huntail appreciate Lairon's ability to put a dent in the likes of Swalot and Duosion. Teammates that can come in and take advantage of opposing VIbrava like Jumpluff and Gourgeist-Large Ivysaur(Vibrava might just Toxic the latter here so I think Ivysaur is a better here as an example) are appreciated. Vibrava is a great pairing since it can deal with a lot of Pokemon that threaten Lairon such Pignite, Krokorok, and Gigalith, while Lairon can come in on Pokemon that bother Vibrava like Dustox, Furfrou, and Persian. (Wigglytuff may be a better example than one of these normal) Lairon needs teammates that can help deal with Bronzor since it outright walls and beats it, so Pokemon such as Krokorok, Scraggy, and Magic Guard Duosion help alleviate this problem.

Lairon is a dangerous entry hazard Stealth Rock entry hazard setter could mean Lairon can set up other hazards setter with its solid defensive typing, powerful Rock STAB move in Head Smash, and great coverage to threaten the entire tier from switching in safely. Stealth Rocks are a vital part of any team in order to force progress and put foes into better KO ranges for Lairon and its teammates Redundant, see above. Lairon's Head Smash threatens to 2HKO many common defensive walls after Stealth Rock damage, such as Swalot, Ivysaur, and Regenerator Duosion. Superpower hits Pokemon that resist or are neutral to Head Smash such as Gigalith I think Scraggy is a better mention since Scraggy does that and can use it as fodder, Klang, and opposing Lairon. Heavy Slam is preferred in the last slot as another STAB move that is stronger into lighter foes like Carbink and Vibrava. Roar is an alternative option to phaze out Pokemon that want to come in and set up in front of Lairon like Duosion, or to chip away at the opposing team that carry Pokemon that come in and sit on it like Bronzor. Toxic is an option that does well at chipping down a common switch-in, Vibrava, to deter it from coming in and removing Lairon's hazards.

Lairon does well on balance and offensive teams looking for an entry hazard setter that can put pressure on hazard removers like Dustox, and physical walls like Ivysaur and Carbink. Cleaners and sweepers like Klang, do you mean Choice Scarf Krok? Offensive Stealth Rock and Choice Band sets are good for wallbreaking but not cleaning Krokorok, and Huntail appreciate Lairon's ability to put a dent in the likes of Swalot and Duosion. Teammates that can come in and take advantage of opposing VIbrava like Jumpluff and Ivysaur are appreciated. Vibrava is a great pairing since it can deal with a lot of Pokemon that threaten Lairon such Pignite, Krokorok, and Gigalith, while Lairon can come in on Pokemon that bother Vibrava like Dustox, Wigglytuff, and Persian. Lairon needs teammates that can help deal with Bronzor since it outright walls and beats it, so Pokemon such as Krokorok, Scraggy, and Magic Guard Duosion help alleviate this problem. Also mention faster Pokemon since Lairon is slow and those teammates can have an easier time threatening the opposition from Lairon's wallbreaking.

Lairon is a dangerous Stealth Rock setter with its solid defensive typing, powerful Rock STAB move in Head Smash, and great coverage to threaten discourage (wrong structure for "threaten") the entire tier from switching in safely. Lairon's Head Smash threatens to 2HKO many common defensive walls such as Swalot, Ivysaur, and Regenerator Duosion (best to put example right after category) after Stealth Rock damage, such as Swalot, Ivysaur, and Regenerator Duosion. Superpower hits Pokemon that resist Head Smash such as Scraggy, Klang, and opposing Lairon. Heavy Slam is preferred in the last slot as another STAB move that is stronger into against lighter foes like Carbink and Vibrava. Roar is an alternative option to phaze out Pokemon that want to come in and set up in front of Lairon like Duosion (RC) or to chip away at the opposing team that carry Pokemon that come in and (repetition + unnecessary) sit on it like Bronzor. Toxic is an option that does well at chipping down a common switch-in, Vibrava, to deter it from coming in and removing Lairon's entry hazards. Toxic also wears down other Ground-types like Hippopotas and Marshtomp, (AC) which can comfortably switch into Lairon's attacks. Rock Head allows Head Smash to be a spammable move and keeps Lairon healthy.
