[SET COMMENTS]
Specially defensive Iron Moth uses its solid bulk, good defensive typing, and sun-boosted Morning Sun to consistently check foes like Iron Bundle, Volcarona, and some Iron Valiant variants. It's not entirely passive either, as the boosts from Fiery Dance under sun allow it to eventually overwhelm passive foes like Blissey, Scream Tail, and Florges. U-turn lets it gain momentum by pivoting out safely, and Toxic Spikes punishes grounded foes like Garganacl, Ting-Lu, and Iron Hands. Due to its devastating Ground weakness, Ground-immune Pokemon like Corviknight and Dragonite make good pairings with it. Iron Moth works well with wallbreakers like Great Tusk and Iron Bundle, as they appreciate being given free entry to threaten its switch-ins like Clodsire, Ting-Lu, and Garganacl. Iron Moth is a great complement to common special walls like Ice Scales Corviknight and Clodsire, as it covers several of their weaknesses like Iron Bundle and Volcarona.
