- Ice Punch

[SET COMMENTS]
With an incredible set of options both physically and specially, Iron Valiant is a premier mixed attacker on Fighting-type teams that can blow holes into problematic defensive cores from types such as Flying and Dragon. Moonblast is able to blast away pesky problems like Sableye, Kommo-o, and Raging Bolt with ease. Close Combat catches special walls attempting to take on Iron Valiant's Moonblast like Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Blissey by just removing them outright. Thunderbolt shocks Flying- and Water-types like Skarmory, Pelipper, and Toxapex, which can be crippling issues for Fighting teams. Finally Ice Punch allows Iron Valiant to catch out Ground-types like Gliscor and Clodsire, which otherwise easily soak up its attacks. Expert Belt provides a solid increase in power, allowing Iron Valiant to get KOs on targets that might otherwise survive a hit like Hisuian Goodra and Raging Bolt, while Life Orb lets Iron Valiant consistently 2HKO Articuno and catch Alolan Muk with Moonblast into Close Combat at the cost of its own HP.

Great Tusk serves Iron Valiant well, providing Stealth Rock support along with entry hazard removal, allowing Iron Valiant to enter safely. In return, Iron Valiant can remove Skarmory and Corviknight, allowing Great Tusk's strong Earthquakes to break the Steel-types that would threaten Iron Valiant like Gholdengo, Iron Treads, and Scizor. Choice Scarf Sneasler serves two crucial roles for Iron Valiant. Firstly, it can absorb Toxic Spikes should Iron Valiant and secondly, it can remove Fairy-type threats including Hatterene, Choice Scarf Enamorus, and opposing Iron Valiant with Dire Claw. Assault Vest Iron Hands appreciates Iron Valiant heavily weakening or outright removing foes like Gliscor and Skarmory, while Iron Valiant appreciates Iron Hands's incredible bulk and ability to take on threats like Primarina, Sneasler, and Meowscarada; Iron Valiant also benefits from safe entry thanks to its slow Volt Switch. Okidogi is a bulky Poison-type capable of absorbing Toxic Spikes and removing Fairy-type threats like Iron Valiant and Azumarill along with other issues like Meowscarada. Zamazenta enjoys Iron Valiant taking care of pesky walls like Toxapex and Skarmory, which can allow it to set up with Iron Defense or just commit with Choice Band safely while outspeeding and handling threats to Iron Valiant like Chien-Pao, Greninja, and Flutter Mane. Breloom can remove pesky Ground-types like Swampert, Hippowdon, and Ursaluna-B with its Grass-type STAB moves along with using Spore to give Iron Valiant safe entry. Keldeo and Urshifu-R provide strong Water-type attacks to wash away foes such as Excadrill, Ceruledge, and Heatran. Keldeo, Urshifu-R, and Breloom also all provide valuable priority, picking off foes that Iron Valiant has heavily damaged such as Gouging Fire and the Ogerpon formes. Gallade threatens the plethora of potent Poison-types that could normally handle Iron Valiant like Sneasler, Amoonguss, and Pecharunt.

Shadow Ball can be used over Thunderbolt to provide strong utility in hitting physically defensive Ghost-types such as Pecharunt, Gholdengo, and Sinistcha. However, it can make Iron Valiant far worse in the Flying- and Water-type matchups. Knock Off is a generally solid progress maker against Ghost- and Psychic-types like Sinistcha and Galarian Slowking. However, its lower Base Power on threats without items and Iron Valiant's low Attack investment can make it less appealing, as it can allow foes like Amoonguss to easily wall Iron Valiant. At the cost of some power, Heavy-Duty Boots provides safe entry against entry hazards set by the likes of Froslass and Toxapex. Vacuum Wave provides a priority option that can easily drop the likes of Chien-Pao, Meowscarada, and Greninja. Grass Knot gives Iron Valiant perfect coverage into Water, hitting Ground-types like Swampert and Gastrodon.

Implemnted.
Also going to back talk this.

(Sneasler also pivots Iron Valiant safely with U-turn).

Sneasler does not provide safe entry with U-turn since something could just click into Iron Valiant with any sort of move doing damage Iron Valiant can never get rid of. Espessically since Sneasler will generally be going first in most situations.

With an incredible set of options both physically and specially, Iron Valiant is Fighting-type teams premier mixed attacker (its good because it can readily break Flying, Dark [and Dragon once gouger gone, update accordingly] defensive cores which can run circles around fighting). Moonblast is the main special STAB of choice being able to blast away pesky problems like Sableye, Kommo-o, and Raging Bolt with ease. Close Combat serves dual purpose not only being Iron Valiant's physical fighting STAB of choice but also catching special walls attempting to take on Iron Valiant's Moonblast like Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Blissey by just removing them outright. Thunderbolt shocks Flying- and Water-types like Skarmory, Pelipper and Toxapex which can otherwise be crippling issues for Fighting teams.

*add LO, lets it 2HKO Articuno without dispute and have a chance to kill gliscor, and CC+Moonblast would always kill Alolan Muk

Okidogi provides a bulky Poison type capable of absorbing Toxic spikes, removing Fairy-type threats like Iron Valiant and Azumaril along with other issues like Primarina (Psychic Noise makes this shaky, maybe FM instead [rarely carries psyshock]) and Meowscarada. Zamazenta enjoys Iron Valiant taking care of pesky walls like Toxapex and Skarmory which can allow Zamazenta to set up with Iron Defense while outspeeding and handling threats to Iron Valiant like Chien-Pao, Greninja, and Flutter Mane (mix val also allows for its CB set to go brr as valiant removes its roadblocks).

Close Combat catches special walls attempting to take on Iron Valiant's Moonblast like Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Blissey by just removing them outright. Thunderbolt shocks Flying- and Water-types like Skarmory, Pelipper, and Toxapex, which are (make sure this is correct - original said 'can be' before change; can be is less absolute than 'are', which implies they are always threats to the type. feel free to change to whatever is more accurate) otherwise crippling issues for Fighting teams.
