AAA Stored Power Was A Mistake (Iron Crown) [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

[Theia]

[SET]
Double Dance (Iron Crown) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 20 Atk
Modest Nature
- Stored Power
- Tachyon Cutter
- Calm Mind
- Agility

[SET COMMENTS]
The combination of Calm Mind and Agility, which lets Iron Crown outspeed almost the entire metagame after just one use, gives it the potential to be a deadly setup sweeper. Stored Power gives Iron Crown scaling damage, letting it 2HKO offensive threats like Iron Moth and Zamazenta after one Agility and OHKO them after one Calm Mind with some chip damage. Additionally, it lets Iron Crow 2HKO specially defensive Garchomp and RegenVest Iron Hands at +4, which can be easily achieved by letting its Weakness Policy activate. Furthermore, with one Agility boost and after Weakness Policy has activated or Calm Mind has been used twice, it lets Iron Crown OHKO even Psychic-resistant Pokemon like Corviknight and Gholdengo and 2HKO most RegenVest users, like Manaphy and Swampert. Iron Crown is heavily reliant on setup moves to perform its role, so it is easily shut down by Taunt, can be stopped by dedicated special walls like Blissey and Chansey, and needs teammates like Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-H that can handle them. A dual screens setter like Corviknight or Deoxys-S is appreciated to help Iron Crown with both activating its Weakness Policy and setting up safely. Bulky Dark-types like Mandibuzz and Kingambit give Iron Crown a lot of trouble, so teammates like Galvanize Kommo-o and Iron Hands are needed to remove them.

this mon scares me on HO

The combination of Calm Mind

, which boosts Iron Crown's already strong Special Attack and Special Defense, dex info and Agility, which lets Iron Crown outspeed almost the entire metagame at +2, dex info gives Iron Crown the potential to be a deadly setup sweeper. Stored Power gives Iron Crown scaling damage potential, able to 2HKO offensive threats like Iron Moth and Zamazenta at two stat boosts, 2HKO specially defensive Garchomp and RegenVest Iron Hands at four stat boosts, which can be easily achieved by activating Iron Crown's Weakness Policy, Iron Hands doesn't have a way to trigger the Weakness Policy, you might want a different example and OHKOing even Psychic-resistant Pokemon like Corviknight and Gholdengo at six stat boosts thanks to Tinted Lens, as well as 2HKOing most RegenVest users like Manaphy and Swampert. This is a lot, you might want to just simplify it down to "Stored Power lets Iron Crown 2HKO X after the use of Calm Mind once and Agility twice. Also, if you have six stat boosts, is that 3 agilities? 1 Calm Mind and 2 Agilities? You might want to specifiy that. Tachyon Cutter allows Iron Crown to hit Dark-type switchins like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao that would try to stop its sweep. Is this really worth the mention? It's a STAB move after all. Stored Power deserves mention because it scales. Iron Crown is heavily reliant on setup moves to perform its role, so it is easily shut down by Taunt and can be stopped by dedicated special walls like Blissey and Chansey, and so needs teammates like Chien-Pao and Galarian Zapdos that can handle them. Due to lacking recovery, Iron Crown appreciates pivoting from teammates like Corviknight as well as entry hazard removal support from Great Tusk. Entry hazard setters like Garchomp and Skarmory are also appreciated, since they help Iron Crown KO enemies more easily, such as letting it OHKO RegenVest Iron Hands at four stat boosts with one layer of Spikes.

The combination of Calm Mind which boosts Iron Crown's already strong Special Attack and Special Defense, dex info and Agility, which lets Iron Crown outspeed almost the entire metagame at +2, dex info this isnt actually dex info; an inexperienced player who doesnt know most of the speed tiers wouldn't know this gives Iron Crown the potential to be a deadly setup sweeper. Stored Power gives Iron Crown scaling damage potential, able to 2HKO offensive threats like Iron Moth and Zamazenta at two stat boosts after an Agility or straight out threatening an OHKO on them after a Calm Mind and some mild chip. 2HKO specially defensive Garchomp and RegenVest Iron Hands at four stat boosts, which can be easily achieved by activating Iron Crown's Weakness Policy, Iron Hands doesn't have a way to trigger the Weakness Policy, you might want a different example hands uses eq on rv sets! and OHKOing even Psychic-resistant Pokemon like Corviknight and Gholdengo at six stat boosts thanks to Tinted Lens, as well as 2HKOing most RegenVest users like Manaphy and Swampert.

Entry hazard setters like Garchomp and Skarmory are also appreciated, since they help Iron Crown KO enemies more easily, such as letting it OHKO RegenVest Iron Hands at four stat boosts with one layer of Spikes. they dont really belong on ho; a better mention would be screens setters like corv and deos

QC: 1/2
