Iron Treads is to a strong pivot with 3 immunities including Toxic and Thunder Wave immunities, and with its great speed tier, it can reliably get in and out with Volt Switch. It gets access to some of the best utility moves and has an extremely useful role in all types of teams and archetypes. Knock Off is what makes Iron Treads good, being able to instantly cripple pokemon is extremely useful, any Regenvests or MGLO users instantly lose their free value from their items. Paired with Rapid Spin it actually ends up being a really good combination being able to hit spinblockers extremely hard with Knock Off if they try to stop the Rapid Spin. Maximum speed with a Jolly nature lets it use Knock Off or Earthquake on many common sweepers such as Arcanine-H and Ceruledge along with outspeeding some similar utility pokemon such as Mew and Landorus-T. With leftovers and max health it can tank neutral hits which enables it to set stealth rocks up on most leads. Paired with a Corviknight, the Electric immunity from Treads and ground immunity from Corviknight pair perfectly together and give a balanced core even to offensive teams. Iron Treads does struggle with pokemon such as Zapdos-G and Greninja making it pair well with both Intimidate/Fluffy Corviknight and Regenvest Meloetta.

Iron Treads serves as a great defensive spinner and pivot with valuable utility, checking threats like Talonflame and Desolate Land Iron Moth is to a strong pivot with 3 immunities including Toxic and Thunder Wave immunities, and with its great speed tier, it can reliably get in and out with Volt Switch. It gets access to some of the best utility moves and has an extremely useful role in all types of teams and archetypes. Knock Off is what makes Iron Treads good, being able to instantly cripple pokemon is extremely useful, any Regenvests or MGLO users instantly lose their free value from their items. Paired with Rapid Spin provides valuable reliable hazard removal, actually ends up being a really good combination being able to hit spinblockers like Ceruledge extremely hard with Knock Off or Earthquake if they try to stop the Rapid Spin. Knock Off provides great utility, crippling any switch-in with item removal while Heavy Slam allows Iron Treads to better threaten Enamorus-Therian and Scream Tail. Add another sentence about Volt Switch and Stealth Rock and their use and compare since they are slashed. Maximum speed with a Jolly nature lets it threaten use Knock Off or Earthquake on many common sweepers threats such as Arcanine-H and Ceruledge along with outspeeding some similar utility pokemon such as Mew and Landorus-T. With leftovers and max health it can tank neutral hits which enables it to set stealth rocks up on most leads The leads part seems to odd to add given I don't find it particularly true? Many leads like Scarf Washtom/Electrode-H threaten it out (or other dedicated leads just taunt it) and generally you don't want to sacrifice a large amount of HP to set down rocks, it's not a suicide lead so this entire sentence is odd. Paired with a Corviknight, the Electric immunity from Treads and ground immunity from Corviknight pair perfectly together and give a balanced core even to offensive teams This isn't true, Corv can help with Ground types but Iron Treads does nothing for Corv against Electric-types in the tier that threaten it (Shocks, Washtom, Pawmot, Electrode-H all threaten WBB Iron Treads immensely). Iron Treads does struggle with pokemon such as Zapdos-G and Greninja making it pair well with both Intimidate/Fluffy Corviknight and Regenvest Meloetta. I would also possibly mention that Iron Treads pairs up with many rocks weak breakers like PrimSea Volc and Banded Chien Pao with its fairly reliable hazard removal + pivot.
