Melmetal can easily switch-in on any of Glowking's attacks bar Flamethrower and risking a Scald burn, and it threatens it out thanks to Melmetal's massive Attack stat and very good STAB in Double Iron Bash. This set can also help against other stuff like Pult and etc. Nominating this as a check thanks to Flamethrower clearly damaging it a lot and the risky burns that can come out of Scald plus not having recovery.
