[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Specs Iron Valiant functions as a special wallbreaker thanks to its speed, power, and coverage moves. Psyshock hits Poison-types like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Amoonguss. Shadow Ball targets Gholdengo and Skeledirge, while Thunderbolt is used to hit Corviknight, as well as doing super effective damage to Toxapex, Tera Flying Gholdengo, and Tera Flying Kingambit. Trick is another option to cripple common switch-ins such as Clodsire, Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Volcarona. Focus Blast threatens an OHKO on Garganacl while greatly damaging Corviknight. However, Aura Sphere is another option that is more consistent thanks to its accuracy, though it misses out on the damage output of Focus Blast. Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast and removes Iron Valiant's weakness to Fairy-, Psychic-, and Flying-type attacks. Alternatively, Tera Ghost makes Iron Valiant immune to Dragonite's Extreme Speed, allows it to OHKO Gholdengo, and increases its damage output against Skeledirge. Tera Electric is a final option to OHKO Toxapex and physically defensive Corviknight and turn its Steel-type weakness into a resistance.

Physically offensive Pokemon such as Dragonite, Kingambit, and Cinderace benefit from Iron Valiant, as they struggle against Dondozo, Great Tusk, and Rotom-W, all of which Iron Valiant can pressure effectively.Entry hazard support from partners like Ting-Lu, Garganacl, and Garchomp provides chip damage against Pokemon that try to play around Iron Valiant such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Clodsire. Pivots such as Rotom-W, Dragapult, Cinderace, and Corviknight give Iron Valiant opportunities to get on the field, reducing the risk of it taking damage. Volcarona can counter Iron Valiant, as it is only 3HKOed by all of its attacks and can set up in front of it. Therefore, Toxapex is a great partner, as is specially defensive Garganacl, which can handle Will-O-Wisp Volcarona, and Dragonite, which can handle Giga Drain variants. Iron Valiant enjoys the presence of partners that it can rely on to take hits, such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, and Garganacl, due to its frailty. Keeping the field free from hazards grants Iron Valiant more chances to get on the field and make progress, so teammates with access to Rapid Spin or Defog such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight are appreciated.

Choice Specs Iron Valiant functions as a special wallbreaker
Mention here examples of walls Choice Specs Iron Valiant can check. Also mention why it's a good special wallbreaker, since the first sentence seems generic and a bit misleading since Iron Valiant doesn't always need to function as a special wallbreaker. Its stab Moonblast is a strong neutral hit which Steel-types do not want to switch in fearing a potential Fighting-type move. I don't think Moonblast should be mentioned since STAB moves, but if you're gonna keep it, at least specify which Steel-type Pokemon fear switching into Moonblast since a good amount of popular Steel-types rn don't take super effective damage from Fighting Psyshock hits Poison-types like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Amoonguss. Shadow Ball is mainly used to hit provide coverage against Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Thunderbolt hits Water-types such as Toxapex, Dondozo, and Azumarill for super effective damage, as well as Corviknight and popular Fluff Tera Flying Gholdengo and Tera Flying Kingambit. Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast making it able to 2HKO Choice Scarf Gholdengo I dont get the Gholdengo mention. Why add it here if you can use Shadow Ball to knock it out anyway? and occasionally OHKO fast Kingambit Can you explain what fast Kingambit is? It's always gonna be slower than Iron Valiant anyways, plus you can probably generalize it to just be offensive Kingambit. Tera Ghost makes Iron Valiant immune to Dragonite's Extreme Speed and allows it to OHKO Gholdengo Maybe mention as well how it becomes more susceptible to Sucker Punch. Tera Electric lets it OHKO physically defensive Corviknight, Dondozo and Toxapex, and turns its Make It Rain I'd rather not mention specific moves when referring to type-weakness if you can generalize the type in general weakness to Steel-types into a resist.

Physically offensive oriented Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Dragonite, Kingambit, and Cinderace benefit from
a Choice Specs Iron Valiant as they struggle against Dondozo, Great Tusk and Will-O-Wisp Rotom-Wash. The set is rather prediction reliant and thus it can struggle to make progress on its own. IMO this doesn't really belong to the team mates section since it talks about the set, so it better fits the set description section. Hazards, particularly Spikes, can help Iron Valiant force more provide chip damage on opponents trying to play around it Iron Valiant with Regenerator Pokemon like Toxapex and Amoonguss Perhaps instead of Regenerator Pokemon, you can state examples of general walls that can play around it. Also mention examples of hazard setters, and how hazards can help Iron Valiant wallbreak easier. Physically Defensive Volcarona is one of the best answers to the set as it doesn't take much from any attack and can try to set up in front of it. Thus Pokemon that can handle Volcarona are great partners, such is the case for Toxapex, specially defensive Garganacl that can handle the Will-O-Wisp Volcarona sets, and Dragonite that can handle the Giga Drain Volcarona variants. Perhaps you can mention Knock Off support in the teammates section as well.

Why no Aura Sphere? Think it could get a slash with T-Bolt. Very useful move to OHKO Iron Treads, Orthworm, Kingambit, etc. Also avoids potential 50/50s vs stuff like tera steel Hydreigon. Focus Blast might also be worth mentioning since it's still quite strong, still dealing high damage to stuff like Corv. However, from my exp, the low accuracy makes it a subpar / bad option most of the time, but I may be on the minority there.

Yeah I mentioned all of Trick, Aura Sphere and Focus Blast as they are rather useful and have decent usage; Close Combat is another one. I was recommended to just keep the set as is for now to not have that many options. We can probably mention it on the first paragraph even if they aren't displayed on the set part(?) but I am not sure that is allowed/a good idea.

Choice Specs Iron Valiant functions as a special wallbreaker (what makes it stand out from other Special Wallbreakers.). Its stab Moonblast is a strong neutral hit which Steel-types do not want to switch in fearing a potential Fighting-type move. (this is not needed.) Psyshock hits Poison-types like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Amoonguss. Shadow Ball is mainly used to hit Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Thunderbolt hits Water-types such as Toxapex, Dondozo, and Azumarill for super effective damage, as well as Corviknight and popular Tera Flying Gholdengo and Tera Flying Kingambit. (reorder this since really the main target for Thunderbolt is Corviknight and an alternative way to jab at Toxapex, the other mons already take a lot from Moonblast neutrally.) Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast (talk about that it also removes its Fighting-type weaknesses.). Tera Ghost makes Iron Valiant immune to Dragonite's Extreme Speed and allows it to OHKO Gholdengo (Add Skeledirge but change the other since nuking Skeledirge is more important.). Tera Electric lets it OHKO physically defensive Corviknight, Dondozo (only mention these two since these are the most relevant targets.) and Toxapex, and turns its Steel-type moves weakness into a resist. (make sure to mention the other moves now)

Physically offensive oriented Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Dragonite, Kingambit, and Cinderace benefit from Iron Valiant (elaborate that Iron Valiant pressures these mons.) as they struggle against Dondozo, Great Tusk and Will-O-Wisp Rotom-Wash. Hazard support from partners like Ting-Lu and Garchomp provides chip damage against Pokemon that try to play around it such as Toxapex, Amoonguss and Clodsire. Physically Defensive (Volcarona itself straight up is one of the few answers to Iron Valiant regardless, tho also mention how you can cripple it with Trick while you catch it Quiver Dancing.) Volcarona is one of the best answers to the set as it doesn't take much from any attack and can try to set up in front of it. Thus Pokemon that can handle Volcarona are great partners, such is the case for Toxapex, specially defensive Garganacl that can handle the Will-O-Wisp Volcarona sets, and Dragonite that can handle the Giga Drain Volcarona variants. (there's a lot that is missing like talk more about some defensive partners since Valiant takes a lot and can straight up die as well as hazard control options to reduce the chip Valiant will be forced to take.)

Choice Specs Iron Valiant functions as a special wallbreaker that threatens Great Tusk, Dondozo, and Garganacl. (I would just reword how Choice Specs Valiant is a threatening wallbreaker cause of its coverage, speed tier, and stat to hit hard, cause talking about what mons it beats is the same thing could be said for other mons and you want to focus what makes it stand out from other special attacker) Psyshock hits Poison-types like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Amoonguss. Shadow Ball is mainly used to hit Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Thunderbolt hits Corviknight, Water-types such as Toxapex, Dondozo, and Azumarill for super effective damage, as well as and Tera Flying Gholdengo and Tera Flying Kingambit. (just reword this to how Thunderbolt primarily hits Corviknight, but also hits Toxapex more effectively, while can hit the tera mons as well.) Trick is another option that allows it to cripple common switch-ins such as Clodsire, Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Volcarona. Focus Blast is a strong STAB move that lets it hit OHKO Garganacl and Kingambit for super effective damage (reword this part that Focus Blast still hits Corviknight.) Aura Sphere is a weaker yet more reliable alternative to Focus Blast(talk about that you miss out on the ability to immediately pressure non Tera Garganacl and Corviknight). Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast and removes its Fighting-type weakness to opposing Fairy-type, Flying-type, and Psychic-type attacks. Tera Ghost makes Iron Valiant immune to Dragonite's Extreme Speed and allows it to OHKO Gholdengo.(again add Skeledirge in here.) Tera Electric lets it OHKO physically defensive Corviknight and Toxapex, and turns its Steel-type moves weakness into a resist.

Physically offensive oriented Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Dragonite, Kingambit, and Cinderace benefit from Iron Valiant as they struggle against Dondozo, Great Tusk and Rotom-W, all of which Iron Valiant can pressure effectively. Hazard support from partners like Ting-Lu and Garchomp provides chip damage against Pokemon that try to play around it such as Toxapex, Amoonguss and Clodsire. Volcarona is one of the best answers to the set as it doesn't take much from any attack and can try to set up in front of it. Thus Pokemon that can handle Volcarona are great partners, such is the case for Toxapex, specially defensive Garganacl that can handle the Will-O-Wisp Volcarona sets, and Dragonite that can handle the Giga Drain Volcarona variants. Given Iron Valiant's low Special Defense, it enjoys the presence of partners that can take Fairy-type and Steel-type attacks reliably such as Toxapex, Kingambit, and Iron Moth. (again mention hazard removals since removing hazards allows Valiant be able to come in more frequent and not be forced to take chip.)

Trick is another option that allows it to cripple common switch-ins such as Clodsire, Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Volcarona. Focus Blast lets it threaten an can OHKO on Garganacl while still being able to greatly damage Corviknight. However, Aura Sphere is another option thats misses out on this power trades, yet is more consistent thanks to its accuracy, yet misses out on the damage output that Focus Blast gives. Tera Fairy is ideal for Iron Valiant as it powers up Moonblast and removes its Fighting-type Fairy- and Psychic-type weaknesses. Alternatively, Tera Ghost makes Iron Valiant immune to Dragonite's Extreme Speed, allows it to OHKO Gholdengo with a STAB Shadow Ball, and increases its damage output against Skeledirge. Similarly, Tera Electric lets it allows it to OHKO physically defensive Corviknight and Toxapex, and turns its Steel-type moves weakness into a resist.

Physically offensive oriented Pokemon such as Dragonite, Kingambit, and Cinderace benefit from Iron Valiant as they struggle against Dondozo, Great Tusk and Rotom-W, all of which Iron Valiant can pressure effectively. Hazard support from partners like Ting-Lu, Garganacl and Garchomp provides chip damage against Pokemon that try to play around it such as Toxapex, Amoonguss and Clodsire. Pivots such as Rotom-Wash, Dragapult, Cinderace, and Corviknight give Iron Valiant opportunities to get on the field, reducing the risk of taking damage. Volcarona is one of the best answers to the set as it can counter Iron Valiant as it is 3HKOd doesn't take much from by any all of its attacks and can try to set up in front of it. Thus Therefore, Pokemon that can handle Volcarona are great partners, such as is the case for Toxapex, and specially defensive Garganacl that can handle the Will-O-Wisp Volcarona sets, are great partners., and On top of this, Dragonite that can handle the Giga Drain Volcarona without fearing Will-O-Wisp. variants. Given Iron Valiant's fragility Because of Iron Valiant's frailty, it enjoys the presence of partners that it can rely on to take hits such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Gholdengo, and Garganacl. Keeping the field free from hazards allows Iron Valiant to get more chances to get on the field and make progress, as such teammates with access to Rapid Spin or Defog such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight are appreciated. Add here briefly what Iron Valiant does for its teammates.

Keeping the field free from hazards allows grants Iron Valiant more chances to get on the field and make progress, as such so teammates with access to Rapid Spin or Defog such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight are appreciated.
