Iron Treads provides incredible utility for Steel teams thanks to its solid stat spread and great movepool. Ice Spinner helps to deal with major Ground-type threats, notably checking Landorus and Gliscor. Knock Off provides a way for Iron Treads to force progress by removing key items such as Gholdengo's Air Balloon or Skarmory's Rocky Helmet. Air Balloon allows Iron Treads to come in safely on Ground-types like the aforementioned Landorus and Gliscor and threaten them out immediately. Alternatively, Leftovers can provide a bit of passive recovery, making use of Iron Treads's natural solid bulk, while Heavy-Duty Boots nullifies entry hazard damage, allowing it to come in and use Rapid Spin as many times as it wants.

Skarmory provides a Ground immunity, allowing Iron Treads to forego using an Air Balloon against threats like Great Tusk, Hippowdon, and Excadrill; Iron Treads deals with Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Magnezone in return. Archaludon provides a solid Water resistance, being able to handle threats such as Ogerpon-W, Empoleon, and Gyarados; it can also use Thunder Wave and Draco Meteor to deal with Gouging Fire. In return, Iron Treads removes entry hazards, which boosts Archaludon's longevity. Heatran provides a crucial Fire immunity from threats like Iron Moth, Volcarona, and Choice Scarf Ninetales. Gholdengo covers the last of Iron Treads's weaknesses thanks to its Ghost typing handling Fighting-type threats like Zamazenta, Sneasler, and Breloom; it can also use Thunderbolt to deal with Flying-types like Skarmory and Mandibuzz, which can prove problematic for Iron Treads. Kingambit and Scizor can use their priority to pick off faster targets like Flutter Mane, Mamoswine, Iron Valiant, and Iron Boulder, which can also cause issues for Iron Treads.

Iron Treads provides incredible utility for Steel teams thanks to its solid stat spread and great move pool allowing to serve a crucial roll (fluff). Ice Spinner helps to deal with major Ground threats, notably checking Landorus and Gliscor. Knock Off provides a way for Iron Treads to do solid damage into Ghost-type threats like Air Balloon Gholdengo and Hisuian Zoroark. Air Balloon is the held item of choice allowing for (fluff, isnt even an item of choice since theres 2 more that u talk about later) allows Iron Treads to come in safely on Ground-types like the aforementioned Landorus and Gliscor and threaten them out immediately. Alternatively Leftovers can provide a bit of passive recovery making use of Iron Treads natural solid bulk while Heavy-Duty Boots gives completey safe entry onto the Hazards (add how it helps nullify damage from spikes allowing it to come in freely as many times as it wants) it wants to remove.

Skarmory and Corviknight pair excellently with Iron Treads providing a Ground Immunity (if they provide a ground immunity, it enables treads to forego air balloon, so u can mention that) from threats like Great Tusk, Hippowdon, and Excadrill while Iron Treads deals with Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Magnezone. Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra (goodra isnt good into physical wallbreakers that u mention ahead + its not even a common example on steel. u could rephrase it as "they form a strong defensive core which can resist Water-type attacks from foes like wtv wtv" to emphasize ur point better) provide a solid Water-type resistance being able to handle threats such as Ogerpon-W, Empoleon, and Gyarados while appreciating Iron Treads removing hazards allowing them to get full use of their leftovers (theyre making full use of their leftovers regardless). Heatran provides a crucial Fire-type immunity from threats like Iron Moth, Volcarona, and Choice Scarf Ninetales. Gholdengo covers the last of Iron Tread's weaknesses thanks to its Ghost-typing handling Fighting-type threats like Zamazenta, Sneasler, and Breloom along with being able to use Thunderbolt to deal with Flying-types like Skarmory and Mandibuzz who can prove problematic for Iron Treads. Kingambit and Scizor can use their priority to pick of faster targets like Flutter Mane, Mamoswine, and Iron Boulder who can cause issues for Iron Treads.

Knock Off provides a way for Iron Treads to do solid damage into Ghost-type threats like Air Balloon Gholdengo and Hisuian Zoroark. [We can generalize this and just talk about how knock off just generally force progress by knocking off key items from xyz. Remove the Horoark mention as it is faster + runs Flamethrower and Focus Miss + Specs to just decimate treads.] Air Balloon allows Iron Treads to come in safely on Ground-types like the aforementioned Landorus and Gliscor and threaten them out immediately. Alternatively Leftovers can provide a bit of passive recovery making use of Iron Treads natural solid bulk while Heavy-Duty Boots gives nullifies entry hHazards damage allowing it to come in and spin as many times as it wants.

Skarmory and Corviknight pairs excellently with Iron Treads providing a Ground Immunity allowing Iron Treads to forego using an Air Balloon from threats like Great Tusk, Hippowdon, and Excadrill while Iron Treads deals with Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Magnezone. [You can also mention how Skarmory provides hazard support which is appreciated (you just break ceruledge sash now and treads just kills it.). I would also just remove Corviknight entirely, theres really no need for it if you have skarmory already and r spin on treads.] Archaludon provides a solid Water-type resistance being able to handle threats such as Ogerpon-W, Empoleon, and Gyarados while appreciating Iron Treads removing hazards for its leftovers recovery. [Mention how it paralyzes GF and handles it with D Meteor which is huge.] Heatran provides a crucial Fire-type immunity from threats like Iron Moth, Volcarona, and Choice Scarf Ninetales.
