[SET COMMENTS]
With an amazing Speed stat and great STAB moves, Iron Boulder stands out as one of the tier's strongest wallbreakers. Swords Dance lets it tear through some of the tier's most common physical walls including Great Tusk, Deoxys-D, and non-Fluffy Corviknight. Iron Boulder has plenty of options as a last move: Sacred Sword helps deal with Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra, Kingambit, and Iron Treads; Throat Chop notably hits Gholdengo; and Earthquake acts as a midground option, hitting the aformentioned Sacred Sword targets and non-Earth Eater Gholdengo at the cost of not getting boosted by Sharpness. Iron Boulder appreciates offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, as they're able to clean up after it has weakened the physical walls. Iron Boulder also appreciates defensive pivots like Corviknight and Swampert, as they can bring it in safely. Despite its amazing Speed stat, it's still prone to getting revenge killed by faster targets like Chien-Pao, Hisuian Electrode, and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, making defensive walls like Corviknight, Meloetta, and Great Tusk necessary. Iron Boulder lacks damage without a boost from Swords Dance, so entry hazard setters like Deoxys-D, Sandy Shocks, and Skarmory are greatly appreciated, as they help chip foes into its KO range.

With access to both an amazing Speed stat combined with the world's first good Rock-type move, it's no wonder that Iron Boulder stands out as one of the tier's strongest wallbreaker. Combine that with Swords Dance which allows it to boost its mediocre great i wouldn't call 120 mediocre Attack stat and it's now able to break through some of the tier's most common physical walls including Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Deoxys-D Great Tusk, Deoxys-D, and non-Fluffy Corviknight. Iron Boulder has plenty of options as a last move; Sacred Sword helps deal with Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra, Kingambit, and Iron Treads, Throat Chop notably lets it deal with Gholdengo, and Earthquake acts as a middle-ground, being able to hit all Steel-types at the cost of not getting boosted by Sharpness and not hitting Earth Eater Gholdengo. Iron Boulder appreciates offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, as they help to pressure the physical walls, allowing Iron Boulder to break through easier. Despite its amazing Speed stat, it's still prone to getting revenge killed by faster targets like Chien-Pao, Hisuian Electrode and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, making defensive walls like Corviknight, Meloetta and Great Tusk necessary. Iron Boulder lacks damage without a boost from Swords Dance, so entry hazard-setters like Deoxys-D, Sandy Shocks and Skarmory are greatly appreciated as they help chip the opponent into K.O range for It.

With access to both an amazing Speed stat combined with the world's first second Diamond Storm exists good Rock-type move, it's no wonder that Iron Boulder stands out as one of the tier's strongest wallbreaker. Combine that with Swords Dance which allows it to boost its already great Attack stat and it's now able to tear through some of the tier's most common physical walls including Great Tusk, Deoxys-D, and non-Fluffy Corviknight. Iron Boulder has plenty of options as a last move; Sacred Sword helps deal with Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra, Kingambit, and Iron Treads, Throat Chop notably lets it deal with Gholdengo, and Earthquake acts as a middle-ground, being able to hit all non-Ground-immune Steel-types at the cost of not getting boosted by Sharpness and not hitting Earth Eater Gholdengo. Iron Boulder appreciates offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, as they help to pressure the physical walls, allowing Iron Boulder to break through easier. I feel like these guys prefer cleaning after Boulder does it's thing, rather than the other way around. Would also shout out defensive pivots for getting it in safely. Despite its amazing Speed stat, it's still prone to getting revenge killed by faster targets like Chien-Pao, Hisuian Electrode and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, making defensive walls like Corviknight, Meloetta and Great Tusk necessary.

Iron Boulder appreciates offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, as they're able to break through (break though what? if you mean the remaining Pokemon you can just say it cleans up. if you mean something else I'd specify.) and clean up after Iron Boulder it has weakened the physical walls.
