[SET COMMENTS]
Iron Treads is a niche RegenVest wall that offers valuable Rapid Spin utility, pivoting, and a unique typing that resists the tier's common Psychic- and Electric-type special attacks. Volt Switch provides pivoting while also chipping switch-ins like Corviknight and Manaphy, whereas Knock Off greatly reduces the longevity of defensive walls, notably Great Tusk and Swampert who would normally come in to absorb Volt Switch. Iron Treads is a pain to deal with for fast Electric-types, including Hisuian Electrode and non-Weather Ball Zapdos, and it can survive a Focus Blast from Thundurus or an Earth Power from Sandy Shocks. It also acts as a reliable answer to Azelf, Latios, and Gholdengo, threatening them with Knock Off while not being crippled by Trick. Iron Treads fits best on stall teams, providing much-needed hazard removal while relying on other specially defensive walls like Empoleon and Blissey to cover its weaknesses to common special attackers such as Walking Wake, Primarina, and Iron Moth. Iron Treads also appreciates physically defensive walls like Corviknight and Toxapex, as it naturally loses to some of the tier's most common physical wallbreakers such as Ceruledge, Chien-Pao, and Galarian Zapdos. Iron Treads can also be run as a role compression option on more offensive teams, as it can provide semi-reliable pivoting and Rapid Spin support for Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-H; in return, they threaten the Ground-types that Iron Treads struggles against such as the aforementioned Swampert and Great Tusk.

Iron Treads' access to Rapid Spin makes it one of the tier's rare forms of hazard control, while also functioning as a passable special wall with a unique typing This first sentence is just kinda awkward to read, you're downplaying it way too much imo, highlight instead why its typing sets it apart, and shortly mention that it has access to Rapid Spin as well maybe. Volt Switch provides pivoting while also chipping common switch-ins(AH) like Corviknight and Manaphy, while Knock Off greatly reduces the longevity of defensive walls, notably Great Tusk and Swampert who would normally come in to absorb Volt Switch. Iron Treads is a pain to deal with for fast electrics Electric-types, including Electrode-H Hisuian Electrode and non-Weather Ball Zapdos, while being able to survive a Focus Blast from Thundurus or an Earth Power from Sandy Shocks. It also acts as an excellent Trick absorber for the likes of Azelf, Latios, and Gholdengo Iron Treads can also reliably switch into these, so I'd highlight that instead and include the Trick mention there as well, still functioning as a solid answer even without Assault Vest. Iron Treads fits best on stall teams Maybe add bulkier balance or semistall here too, you mention Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-H as teammates, who don't see any use on full-on stall normally, providing much needed entry hazard removal while relying on other specially defensive walls like Empoleon and Blissey to cover weaknesses to common special attackers such as Walking Wake, Manaphy Primarina, and Volcarona Iron Moth Neither of those see much use, Manaphy especially sees way more use defensively. Iron Treads also appreciates physically defensive walls like Corviknight or Toxapex, as it naturally loses to some of the tier's most common physical wallbreakers such as Ceruledge, Landorus-Therian Chien-Pao, and Galarian Zapdos. Iron Treads can also provide semi-reliable pivoting and Rapid Spin support for Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-Hearthflame; in return, they threaten the Ground-types that Iron Treads struggles against What Ground-types? Some examples are good here.
