- Calm Mind
- Psyshock

- Focus Blast / Psychic Noise / Stored Power / Psychic
[SET COMMENTS]
* Calm Mind allows Iron Crown to compete with Pokemon like Raging Bolt, Cresselia, and opposing Iron Crown.
* Psyshock enables Iron Crown to hit specially defensive foes, empowers it against Calm Mind users such as Weakness Policy Iron Crown and Clear Amulet Cresselia, and is important against Alolan Ninetales.
* Tachyon Cutter exerts pressure on Fairy-type foes like Iron Valiant and Sylveon.
* Focus Blast lets Iron Crown take on foes including Ursaluna-B and Hisuian Goodra. Alternatively, Psychic Noise can be used to check foes that rely on recovery moves, especially Pecharunt and Clear Amulet Cresselia. Moreover, Stored Power + Calm Mind allows Iron Crown to handle foes like Manaphy. Finally, Psychic allows Iron Crown to deal increased damage to foes such as Iron Hands and Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake.
* The bulk EVs allow Iron Crown to survive Knock Off from Adamant Choice Band Meowscarada and Hydro Cannon from Timid Choice Specs Primarina, with the rest of the EVs being put into Special Attack.
* Primarina is a great partner for Iron Crown, since Iron Crown is weak to Ground- Fire- and Dark-type attacks from foes like Landorus, Volcarona, and Urshifu-S; in return, Iron Crown provides an immunity to Poison. On top of this, Iron Crown's weakness to Ghost-type attacks can be remedied by using other Dark-types, such as Roaring Moon.
