With its high Attack and Special Attack, as well as a blazing Speed augmented by Choice Scarf, Iron Valiant becomes an outstanding mixed revenge killer. Choice Scarf allows Iron Valiant to outspeed faster Pokemon such as Roaring Moon, Meowscarada, Dragapult, and Greninja, and threaten an OHKO with Moonblast. Close Combat targets Steel-types such as Kingambit, Orthworm, and Iron Treads. Knock Off hits Gholdengo, Skeledirge, and Ceruledge for super effective damage, while also crippling other Pokemon that resist both of its STAB moves such as Volcarona and Iron Moth. Trick can be used to cripple walls such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Clodsire. Maximum Special Attack allows Iron Valiant's Moonblast to OHKO Great Tusk and Walking Wake. Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast, letting it secure OHKOs against Garchomp and Baxcalibur. Alternatively, Tera Ghost makes it easier for Iron Valiant to revenge kill Dragonite thanks to its immunity to Extreme Speed.

Iron Valiant can be found on Bulky Offense teams that appreciate the speed it provides. It makes for a great abuser of Slowking's Future Sight, as Steel- and Dark-types that resist or are immune to it are threatened by Close Combat, while Future Sight hits Iron Valiant's switch-ins such as Amoonguss and Toxapex for super effective damage. Pokemon weak to Dark-type attacks such as Skeledirge, Dragapult, and Gholdengo, appreciate Iron Valiant's x4 times resistance to said attacks, particularly Sucker Punch from Kingambit, and ability to threaten said Dark-types with either one of its STAB moves. Great Tusk provides entry hazard removal, preventing Iron Valiant from getting chipped throughout the game, and complements Iron Valiant to make for a sturdy duo against Kingambit that often times Terastallizes to deal with either one of them, but has a harder time dealing with both. Corviknight in particular resists all of the attacks that Iron Valiant is weak to, while other walls such as Skeledirge and Clodsire can sponge Fairy-type and Poison-type hits.

With its high Attack and Special Attack stats, as well as a blazing Speed stat augmented by Choice Scarf, Iron Valiant becomes an outstanding mixed revenge killer. (could be worth mentioning how it allows you to consistently revenge kill things because the common booster sets only have the ability to do that once) Choice Scarf allows Iron Valiant to get the jump on otherwise faster Pokemon such as Roaring Moon, Meowscarada, Dragapult, and Greninja, and threaten an OHKO with Moonblast. Close Combat is the second STAB move of choice, which targets Steel-types such as Kingambit, Orthworm, and Iron Treads. (you dont need to explain cc if you don't wanna) Knock Off hits Gholdengo, Skeledirge, and Ceruledge for super effective damage, while also crippling other Pokemon that resist both of its STAB moves such as Volcarona and Iron Moth. Both Knock Off and the final move Trick can be used to cripple defensive walls such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Clodsire. (i feel like pex/amoong especially are a lot weaker to trick than to knock, so you can just say trick cripples them) Max Special Attack allows Iron Valiant's Moonblast to OHKO Great Tusk and Walking Wake. Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast, letting it secure OHKOs against Garchomp and Baxcalibur. Alternatively, Tera Ghost makes it easier for Iron Valiant to revenge kill Dragonite thanks to its immunity to Extreme Speed.

Pokemon weak to Dark-type attacks such as Skeledirge, Dragapult, and Gholdengo, appreciate Iron Valiant's x4 times resistance to said attacks and ability to threaten said Dark-types with either one of its stabs. (maybe mention gambit/sucker resistance more specifically because rn it's just type charting) Great Tusk provides entry hazard removal, preventing Iron Valiant from getting chipped throughout the game, and complements Iron Valiant to make for a sturdy duo against Kingambit that often times Terastallizes to deal with either one of them but has a harder time dealing with both. Due to Iron Valiant's frailty and the restriction of being locked into one move, it can be fairly exploitable offensively. Corviknight in particular resists all of the attacks that Iron Valiant is weak to, while other walls such as Skeledirge and Clodsire can sponge Fairy-type and Poison-type hits.

Paragraph 2
- a brief example of teammates that benefit from the analysed Pokemon's presence;
- a brief example of foes that the analyses Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.

Implemented. Though struggled to add the consistency part in the very first sentence since I figured I shouldn't be mentioning other sets. Let me know if you or the next QC has any ideas to do this.

Choice Scarf allows Iron Valiant to consistently taking what autumn said abt consistency, figured you could mention it here bc u mention the stuff that can get rk'ed get the jump on otherwise faster Pokemon such as Roaring Moon, Meowscarada, Dragapult, and Greninja, and threaten an OHKO with Moonblast. Close Combat is the second STAB move of choice, which targets Steel-types such as Kingambit, Orthworm, and Iron Treads.

Hey implemented all of the above. I feel kinda odd about the last couple of sentences on the second paragraph though, as they seem to read rather strangely. Would it be better to drop the last sentence all together and remove the word "particularly" from the second to last sentence? (the one about corvi)

I would remove the sentence about iron valiant being exploitable since it looks really out of place imo. The "in particular" part i think works fine.

Thank you! This is done now, s/o everyone who helped get this done so quickly
