VGC Iron Bundle

[OVERVIEW]

* Iron bundle is the fastest threat in Regulation F thanks to Booster Energy and is used as a speed control option. It can threaten Landorus, Ogerpon-W, Incineroar, and Urshifu-R with super effective damage and an OHKO on the former two.

* Iron Bundle appreciates offensive Pokemon that take advantage of Icy Wind like Urshifu-S, Ogerpon-H, Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and Landorus. Flutter Mane and Landorus specifically threaten Kingambit and Urshifu for Iron Bundle.

* Iron Bundle is weak to priority attackers like Rillaboom, Chien-Pao, Dragonite, and Raging Bolt, since they can ignore Iron Bundle's Speed and Icy Wind's Speed drops while still pressuring it for huge damage if not an OHKO because of its low defenses.

* Icy Wind is used for speed control, Hydro Pump is used as the main Water-STAB move, and Freeze-Dry is preferred to threaten common Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W.

*Tera Ghost is used for an immunity to threatening priority moves like Fake Out and Extreme Speed.

I'll be doing a recheck to see how you implemented the following changes.

Add, Remove, Highlight, Comment.

[OVERVIEW]

* Iron bundle is extremely fast because of the fastest threat in Regulation F thanks to Booster Energy Speed, and it is used as a speed control option. It has good matchups into can threaten Landorus, Ogerpon-Wellspring, Incineroar, and Urshifu-R, since it can hit them for with super effective damage, with Freeze-Dry and Hydro Pump and an OHKO on the former 2. (Flows easier, Bundle is the fastest Pokemon excluding unrealistic stuff like Scarf Eleki.)

* Iron Bundle appreciates offensive Pokemon that take advantage of Icy Wind like Urshifu, Ogerpon-Hearthflame, Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and Landorus. (Talk about how they threaten bad mus for Bundle, Flutter and Landorus threatening Raging Bolt and Urshifu/Landorus threatening Kingambit are examples.)

* Iron Bundle is weak to Priority Attackers like Rillaboom, Chien-Pao, and Dragonite, since they can attack before it does, and Special Attackers like and Raging Bolt, Tornadus, and Flutter Mane, since it has a low base Special Defense. They can ignore Iron Bundle's Speed and Icy Wind Speed drops, while still pressuring it for huge damage if not an OHKO because of its low defenses. (Mentioning too much honestly, hits Tornadus hard and Flutter Mane hates having its speed dropped.)

* Icy Wind is used for Speed control, Hydro Pump is used as Water STAB, and Freeze-Dry is used preferred as Ice STAB to threaten common and to hit Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W. (Good to better specify why its over Ice Beam or Blizzard. Hitting Water-types alone would be classified as Dex info.)

* Booster Energy is used to raise its Speed, which allows it to outspeed threats like Scarf Urshifu-R, Booster Energy Flutter Mane, and Regidrago and Modest Landorus under Tailwind.

* The Special Attack is used to maximize its Freeze-Dry and Hydro Pump Damage, and The Speed and the Timid Nature are used to outspeed Booster Energy Flutter Manes and other Booster Energy Iron Bundle. (It's just 252/252.)

* The Tera Type of Ghost is used for an immunity to threatening priority like Fake Out and Extreme speed, the former stops it from attacking and supporting its partner, the ladder can do a lot of damage to it. (This is just dex info, can you reword or just remove it? Can bring up Bundle's frailty if you want to keep it but aren't sure how.)
