Calm Mind (Iron Valiant)
[SET]
Iron Valiant @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Electric / Ghost / Steel
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Moon Blast
- Thunderbolt / Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast / Encore

[SET COMMENT]
With a wide variety of special coverage moves and a great Speed stat, Calm Mind Iron Valiant is one of the best sweepers and cleaners in the tier. Speed Booster Energy allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, as well as setup sweepers like Mega Gyarados, Great Tusk, and Dragonite at +1 without being Choice locked. Moonblast is its most spammable STAB move, since most Steel-types are threatened by Focus Blast, leaving Galarian Slowking as one of its few reliable checks. Thunderbolt provides valuable coverage against Water-types like Alomomola and Toxapex, while Shadow Ball hits Galarian Slowking super effectively. Focus Blast is Iron Valiant's strongest STAB move, OHKOing common Steel-type walls at +1 such as Mega Scizor after a decent amount of chip damage, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. Encore prevents sweeps from setup Pokemon like Volcarona and lets Iron Valiant set up against Pokemon like Alomomola and Toxapex. Tera Electric makes Iron Valiant immune to paralysis from walls like Ferrothorn and Galarian Slowking while allowing Thunderbolt to OHKO Alomomola and specially defensive Toxapex after minimal chip at +1. Tera Ghost grants Iron Valiant a resistance to Poison-type moves and gives Shadow Ball a STAB boost, allowing it to better take advantage of its coverage and 2HKO Galarian Slowking with minimal chip or at +1. Tera Steel is a good defensive type that helps Iron Valiant set up on the likes of Alomomola and Choice-locked Tapu Lele and provides a resistance to priority moves such as Bullet Punch, Ice Shard, and Extreme Speed. It can also be paired with Encore to turn Galarian Slowking into setup fodder by locking it into Sludge Bomb. Iron Valiant appreciates teammates like Great Tusk, Dragonite, and Mega Scizor that overwhelm common special walls in Galarian Slowking, Heatran, and Blissey, letting it sweep. Knock Off support from the likes of Mega Scizor and Tyranitar is also appreciated, as removing Heavy-Duty Boots from Galarian Slowking, Blissey, and Toxapex and Leftovers from Heatran and Ferrothorn can help position Iron Valiant to sweep.

Calm Mind Iron Valiant acts as both a powerful sweeper and revenge killer, mostly used on HO teams. Its high speed stats, combined with Booster Energy, allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame and popular setup sweepers like Mega Gyarados, Great Tusk, and Dragonite at +1 without being choice-locked. Calm Mind boosts Iron Valiant's power as well as bulk on the special side, making it more dangerous while harder to revenge kill.(I think most revenge killers are physical so you can remove this sentence) Moonblast is its most spammable STAB that hits hard and fairly wide with a 100% accuracy (no need for dex info ig) since most Steel-types are scared of its Fighting STAB, leaving Slowking-Galar as one of few reliable checks. Thunderbolt provides valuable coverage to Water-types like Almomola and Toxapex, while Shadow Ball hits Galarian Slowking super effectively and has very few resistance in general. Focus Blast is Iron Valiant's strongest STAB that can OHKO the premier Steel walls such as Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn and Heatran at +1. Encore, on the other hand, prevents the opponent like Volcarona from setting up and provides a good chance for Iron Valiant to set itself up, for example, against Alomomola and Toxapex. Tera Electric makes Iron Valiant immune to paralyze from walls like Ferrothorn and Slowking-Galar, and allows Thunderbolt to OHKO Alomomola and SpD oriented Toxapex after minimal chip at +1. Tera Ghost grants Iron Valiant resistance to Poison-type attacks from Slowking-Galar and gives Shadow Ball a STAB boost, allowing Iron Valaiant to abuse take advantage of (do not use the word abuse) its coverage better and 2HKO Galarian Slowking with minimal chip or at +1. Tera Steel is a good defensive type that helps Iron Valiant to set up on the likes of Choice locked Tapu Lele and Alomomola, it also provides resistance to priority moves such as Bullet Punch, Ice Shard and Extreme speed. It can also be paired with Encore to turn Slowking-Galar into set up fodder by locking it on Sludge Bomb. Iron Valiant appreciates teammates like Great Tusk, Dragonite, and Mega Scizor that overwhelm special walls such as Galarian Slowking, Heatran, and Blissey for it to sweep, as well as Knock Off support that removes boots from Galarian Slowking, Blissey, and Toxapex, Leftovers from Heatran and Ferrothorn.

With a great coverage in SpA moves in conjunction to a great speed With a wide variety of special coverage moves and a great Speed stat, Calm Mind Iron Valiant is one of the best sweepers and cleaners in the game tier. Its high speed stats, combined with the speed boost from Quark Drive activated by Booster Energy, Speed Booster Energy you already mentioned it has a high speed stat allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame and popular ,(AC) including "and" implies the setup sweepers are not part of the metagame setup sweepers like Mega Gyarados, Great Tusk, and Dragonite at +1 without being choice-locked Choice-locked. Calm Mind boosts Iron Valiant's power as well as and bulk on the special side, making it more dangerous. Moonblast is its most spammable STAB move,(AC) since most Steel-types are scared of its Fighting STAB threatened by Focus Blast you can just say focus blast since it's the only fighting move on the set, leaving Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking as one of its few reliable checks. Thunderbolt provides valuable coverage to against Water-types like Almomola Alomomola and Toxapex, while Shadow Ball hits Galarian Slowking super effectively and has very few resistance in general this part doesn't really add any useful formation. Focus Blast is Iron Valiant's strongest STAB that can OHKO the premier Steel walls move, being able to OHKO common Steel-type walls such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Mega Scizor with a decent amount of chip at +1 if you're saying it needs chip on Mega Scizor but not the other two, change the sentence to "Focus Blast is Iron Valiant's strongest STAB move, being able to OHKO common Steel-type walls at +1 such as Mega Scizor after a decent amount of chip, Ferrothorn, and Heatran". Encore, on the other hand, prevents the opponent like Volcarona from setting up and creates opportunity for Iron Valiant to set up, for example, against Alomomola and Toxapex Encore can prevent a sweep from setup Pokemon like Volcarona and let Iron Valiant set up against Pokemon like Alomomola and Toxapex. Tera Electric makes Iron Valiant immune to paralyze paralysis from walls like Ferrothorn and Slowking-Galar,(RC) and allows Galarian Slowking while allowing Thunderbolt to OHKO Alomomola and SpD oriented specially defensive Toxapex after minimal chip at +1. Tera Ghost grants Iron Valiant a resistance to Poison-type attacks moves and gives Shadow Ball a STAB boost, allowing Iron Valaiant it to better take advantage of its coverage better and 2HKO Galarian Slowking with minimal chip or at +1. Tera Steel is a good defensive type that helps Iron Valiant to set up on the likes of Choice locked Tapu Lele and Alomomola,(RC) Alomomola and Choice-locked Tapu Lele the previous wording implies alomomola runs choice items, which i would be really surprised if it does it also provides while also providing a resistance to priority moves such as Bullet Punch, Ice Shard, and Extreme speed Speed. It can also be paired with Encore to turn Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking into set up setup fodder by locking it on into Sludge Bomb. Iron Valiant appreciates teammates like Great Tusk, Dragonite, and Mega Scizor that overwhelm common special walls in Galarian Slowking, Heatran, and Blissey for it to ,(AC) letting it sweep,(RC) as well as.(AP) Knock Off support from what mons with knock off does iron valiant appreciate? is also appreciated, as removing Heavy-Duty Boots from Galarian Slowking, Blissey, and Toxapex and Leftovers from Heatran and Ferrothorn can help position Iron Valiant to sweep that removes boots from Galarian Slowking, Blissey, and Toxapex, Leftovers from Heatran and Ferrothorn.
