[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Iron Moth makes for a great cleaner on Fire teams by virtue of its diverse moveset and being able to outspeed Mega Swampert and non-Choice Scarf Greninja. Energy Ball handles Water-, Rock-, and Ground-types like Greninja, Mega Diancie, and Great Tusk. Sludge Wave targets the Ogerpon formes as well as Fairy-types such as Enamorus and Tapu Koko. Dazzling Gleam covers threats such as Hydreigon and Kommo-o. Torkoal sets up sun to boost Iron Moth's Fiery Dance to make it a more terrifying snowballing option and Stealth Rock to aid Iron Moth's cleaning, notably breaking Focus Sash and Sturdy from their users. Both Torkoal and Cinderace also serve as entry hazard control with Rapid Spin and Court Change, respectively, and the latter can bring Iron Moth in with U-turn to keep momentum. Mega Charizard X and Hisuian Arcanine pair well with Iron Moth, as they take on Heatran and Blissey, which otherwise wall Iron Moth. Heatran itself serves as a great partner, as due to its access to Magma Storm and Taunt, it can shut down and eliminate walls such as Toxapex. In return, Heatran appreciates Iron Moth taking on Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Mega Swampert, and Gastrodon. Thanks to Iron Moth's ability to take on bulky foes such as Mega Sableye and Tapu Fini as well as speedy Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Choice Scarf Enamorus, it can enable late-game sweepers such as Ceruledge and Volcarona to begin their own sweep.

Iron Moth serves as a great cleaner on Fire teams by virtue of its great Speed tier boosted by Choice Scarf allowing it to outspeeding foes like Mega Swampert and non-Choice Scarf Greninja and its diverse moveset. Fiery Dance is not only STAB, but it also allows Iron Moth to potentially snowball through opposing teams thanks to the Special Attack boost. Energy Ball handles Water-, Rock-, and Ground-types like Keldeo, Mega Diancie, and Great Tusk. (I crossed out Keldeo because with Calc's Keldeo can typically live an energy ball with a decent amount of HP typically around 20-25. I'd recommend an example like Mega-Swampert. Sludge Wave targets the Ogerpon formes as well as Fairy-types such as Enamorus, Tapu Koko, and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Dazzling Gleam covers Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types such as Archaludon, Mega Sableye, and Mega Gallade.(Arch takes around 33.6 - 39.6%. Try Kommo-O as a prime example.) Torkoal sets up sun to boost Iron Moth's Fiery Dance to make it a more terrifying snowballing option and Stealth Rock to aid Iron Moth's cleaning, notably breaking Ogerpon-C's Sturdy. Both Torkoal and Cinderace also serve as entry hazard control with Rapid Spin and Court Change respectively, and the latter can bring Iron Moth in with U-turn to keep momentum. Mega Charizard X and Hisuian Arcanine pair well with Iron Moth, as they take on Heatran which otherwise walls Iron Moth.

In return, Heatran appreciates Iron Moth taking on Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Mega Swampert, and Gastrodon. Thanks to Iron Moth's ability to take on bulky foes such as Mega Sableye, Gastrodon, and Tapu Fini as well as speedy Pokemon such as Iron Treads, Choice Scarf Enamorus, and non-Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, it can enable late-game sweepers such as Ceruledge and Volcarona to begin their own sweep.

Thoughts:
- Overall amazing job as usual!

Iron Moth serves as a great cleaner on Fire teams by virtue of its great Speed tier boosted by Choice Scarf allowing it to outspeeding foes like Mega Swampert and non-Choice Scarf Greninja and its diverse moveset. (We can reword this and just start it off by saying Choice Scarf Iron Moth being a great cleaner + diverse moveset + outspeeding and taking out foes like xyz.) Fiery Dance is not only STAB, but it also allows Iron Moth to potentially snowball through opposing teams thanks to the Special Attack boost. (Not needed) Energy Ball handles Water-, Rock-, and Ground-types like Greninja, Mega Diancie, and Great Tusk. Sludge Wave targets the Ogerpon formes as well as Fairy-types such as Enamorus,and Tapu Koko, and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. (has e terrain support + common set is z electric which has a favorable roll to ohko moth.) Dazzling Gleam covers threats Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types such as Hydreigon Mega Sableye and Kommo-o Mega Gallade. Torkoal sets up sun to boost Iron Moth's Fiery Dance to make it a more terrifying snowballing option and Stealth Rock to aid Iron Moth's cleaning, notably breaking Ogerpon-C's Sturdy. (We can generalize this honestly, we would need to be plus 1 and under sun to ohko rockpon after SR chip.) Both Torkoal and Cinderace also serve as entry hazard control with Rapid Spin and Court Change respectively, and the latter can bring Iron Moth in with U-turn to keep momentum.
