[SET COMMENT]
With decent offensive stats, unique typing and wide movepool, Heavy-Duty Boots Iron Moth is a great offensive threat that is capable of checking popular threats such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Mega Scizor and keeps momentum up if needed. Fiery Dance is favored over other Fire-type moves because with its boost, Iron Moth is able to break through lesser sturdy checks like Gliscor. Energy Ball paired with Tera Grass is usually the first choice to reverse its matchup against Water-, Ground-, and Rock-type Pokemon such as Alomomola, Ting-Lu, and Garganacl. Dazzling Gleam boosted by Tera Fairy allows it to blow up Zamazenta, Dragon-type Pokemon like Garchomp and Raging Bolt that it otherwise struggles against. Tera Blast combined with Tera Ground lets it OHKO its biggest predator, Heatran, as well as hit popular special walls like Galarian Slowking and Toxapex for super effective damage. All three coverage moves also help Iron Moth beat Tyranitar after it switches into entry hazards multiple times. The last slot is usually reserved for utility. U-turn takes advantage of Iron Moth's ability to lure in checks such as Galarian Slowking and Clodsire and pivots wallbreaker teammates like Mega Tyranitar and Mega Medicham in, aiding a more offensive playstyle; Morning Sun boosts Iron Moth's longevity, enabling it to stay healthy and check opposing Mega Scizor and Iron Valiant throughout the game. Because of its mediocre Base Power moves, Iron Moth often struggles with bulky walls; therefore, it appreciates hazard support from teammates like Gliscor, Hisuian Samurott, and Ferrothorn to chip at checks such as Heatran and Garganacl, while powerful wallbreakers such as Mega Medicham, Mega Tyranitar, and Weavile improve its matchup against sturdy walls that ignore hazard chip damage like Galarian Slowking, Toxapex, and Blissey. Mega Tyranitar and Weavile especially help in chipping and even eliminating those walls with Pursuit support, which often relieves the urgency for Iron Moth to use Tera as well. In return, Iron Moth can pressure and threaten physical walls like Slowbro and Great Tusk that its teammates have trouble with. Iron Moth also appreciates slow pivots that can bring it safely onto the field, such as Galarian Slowking and Alomomola.

With a decent offensive stats and wide move pool, Boots Iron Moth is one of the top threats in the tier, commonly seen on many BO team. this is a somewhat weak introduction and doesn't really highlight what moth does; i wouldn't frame it as a top threat, for one, and i'd also mention its ability to offensively check mons like specs valiant and msciz Dual STABs are mandatory, where Fiery Dance is favoured over other Fire-type moves with higher base power due to its chance to increase Iron Moth's damage output by rising its Special Attack. this is self explanatory dex info, mention fiery dance making it harder for less sturdy checks like glisc and garg to effectively beat it, especially with tera The third coverage along with its tera type can vary depends on the need of the team. Energy Ball paired with tera Grass is usually the first pick to reverse its matchup against Water- and Ground-type Pokemons such as Alomomola, Ting-Lu and Ursaluna. Dazzling Gleam boosted by tera Fairy allows it to blow the Dragon-type Pokemons like Garchomp and Raging Bolt that it struggles without it. Tera Blast combined with tera Ground lets it OHKO its biggest predator - Heatran. u definitely need to add a better mu into incoming pex/gking, those are huge targets. also mention that tera ground and grass being chosen let iron moth beat ttar after it's chipped by hazards The last slot is usually reserved for utility: U-turn keeps the momentum up, aiding more offensive play style; Morning Sun boosts Iron Moth's longevity, enabling it to stay healthy throughout the game. this doesn't add much relevant info; highlight uturns ability to bring in wallbreakers that take advantage of moth checks, and then mention morning sun allowing moth to check mons long term instead Because of its mediocre base power moves, Iron Moth is usually incapable of OHKOing the opposing pokemon, therefore it appreciates powerful wallbreakers as teammate, such as Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar. In return, Iron Moth can pressure and threat physical walls like Slowbro and Great Tusk the aforementioned teammates have trouble with.

teammates section should def be more fleshed out. mention the following:
+ hazard support to make it harder for mons like garg, ttar, and chomp to switch into moth
+ mons with a good mu into moth checks that dont care about hazards otherwise
+ pursuit support to help vs mtias and gking, which is especially helpful if not using tera ground for the latter
+ pivots that can bring moth in on mons it offensively pressures bc it hates hard switching in on its own

The latter two with pursuit support especially help in chipping and even eliminating those walls, this often relieves the urgency for Iron Moth to use tera as well.
