鐵頭殼 怎麼配招

Fast Weakness Policy Iron Crown aims to switch up otherwise disadvantageous matchups such as Haxorus as well as Choice Band Ground-types such as Landorus-T by boosting itself with Iron Defense, then obtaining a Weakness Policy boost to threaten an OHKO on the next turn with Stored Power. Tachyon Cutter is Iron Crown's best Steel-type STAB move, being able to immediately pressure Fairy-Type Pokemon such as Iron Valiant and Sylveon. Tachyon Cutter has other niches in breaking foes' Substitute, such as against SubSeed Ogerpon-W and Serperior. Upon activation of Weakness Policy, Stored Power's Base Power increases by 80. Combined with any prior boosts Iron Crown may have obtained, this makes Stored Power its strongest Psychic-type STAB option. Psyshock can be used to disrupt the matchup versus other Calm Mind users that resist Stored Power such as opposing Iron Crown and Cresselia, albeit using Psyshock may miss out on important KOs that Stored Power would otherwise obtain. Psychic Noise may be used to prevent recovery moves from Pokemon such as Cresselia that would otherwise be able to deal with Iron Crown. Psychic Noise also deals additional damage to Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales compared to Iron Crown's other Psychic-type options. Calm Mind is used in matchups versus special attacking Pokemon such as Primarina and Cresselia in order to boost up Iron Crown's Special Attack and Special Defense to a point where it does not take much damage from their attacks while threatening KOs with Tachyon Cutter and Stored Power. The EVs are used to outspeed maximum Speed Haxorus and to tie the mirror matchup versus opposing Iron Crown. The bulk is meant to tank an Adamant Choice Band Great Tusk Headlong Rush after one Iron Defense. An alternative EV spread of 96 HP / 112 Def / 48 SpA / 252 Spe with a Timid Nature can be used to have a slightly better chance against Donphan with Tachyon Cutter after a Weakness Policy boost while still surviving Choice Band Great Tusk's Headlong Rush. However, this makes Iron Crown less reliable into Choice Specs Primarina.

This set relies on outspeeding key threats such as Chien-Pao and Speed Booster Energy Great Tusk, using the Speed boost from Booster Energy to flip otherwise unfavorable matchups for Iron Crown. Psychic is Iron Crown's strongest Psychic-type STAB move, which allows it to hit Pokemon like Iron Hands and Great Tusk. On the other hand, Psyshock is the best option against Pokemon like Raging Bolt, where both Pokemon typically use Calm Mind six times. The HP and Defense EVs allow Iron Crown to tank an Earthquake from Adamant Choice Band Iron Hands and a Hydro Cannon from +3 Torrent Primarina at +4 Special Defense. The Speed EVs help it outspeed Porygon-Z, and the remaining EVs are invested in Special Attack. Because Fire- and Dark-type Pokemon like Darkrai, Skeledirge, Hoopa-U, and Iron Moth are difficult for Iron Crown to deal with by itself, Primarina and Donphan work as good partners for Iron Crown.

Defensive Weakness Policy Iron Crown uses Iron Defense and Calm Mind to boost its defenses to survive strong hits and KO back with Weakness Policy-boosted Stored Power. Stored Power obtains a massive boost in Base Power when combined with Weakness Policy and stat-boosting moves. Alternatively, Psyshock can be used for matchups Pokemon that have enough Special Defense to not be threatened by Stored Power, such as Cresselia and Pokemon that Iron Crown can't boost in front of like Iron Valiant. Tachyon Cutter is hits Fairy-types such as Sylveon and Iron Valiant, and can break Substitute from Pokemon such as Serperior. Calm Mind is used for matchups where boosting Special Attack and Special Defense is necessary, such as against Assault Vest Ursaluna-B. The HP and Defense EVs allow Iron Crown to have a 75% chance to survive Adamant Choice Band Meowscarada's Knock Off in order to kill it with +2 Tachyon Cutter, as well as having favorable rolls to survive two Choice Band Ursaluna's Earthquake to boost with Iron Defense up to +4 and KO with Stored Power. The remaining EVs are placed in Speed for the mirror matchup and to base 50 speed Pokemon such as Ursaluna. 36 Speed EVs can be used instead to outspeed Max Speed Primarina. While this set is able to bulk many attacks, it is notably slower than faster Choice Band users like Landorus-T, making Defensive Iron Crown lose the matchup against them. Faster teammates that can deal with these Pokemon are ideal, such as attackers like Meowscarada.

Calm Mind allows Iron Crown to compete with Pokemon like Raging Bolt, Cresselia, and opposing Iron Crown. Psyshock enables Iron Crown to hit specially defensive foes, empowers it against Calm Mind users such as Weakness Policy Iron Crown and Clear Amulet Cresselia, and is important against Alolan Ninetales. Tachyon Cutter exerts pressure on Fairy-type foes like Iron Valiant and Sylveon. Focus Blast lets Iron Crown take on foes including Ursaluna-B and Hisuian Goodra. Alternatively, Psychic Noise can be used to check foes that rely on recovery moves, especially Pecharunt and Clear Amulet Cresselia. Moreover, Stored Power + Calm Mind allows Iron Crown to handle foes like Manaphy. Finally, Psychic allows Iron Crown to deal increased damage to foes such as Iron Hands and Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake. The bulk EVs allow Iron Crown to survive Knock Off from Adamant Choice Band Meowscarada and Hydro Cannon from Timid Choice Specs Primarina, with the rest of the EVs being put into Special Attack. Primarina is a great partner for Iron Crown, since Iron Crown is weak to Ground- Fire- and Dark-type attacks from foes like Landorus, Volcarona, and Urshifu-S; in return, Iron Crown provides an immunity to Poison. On top of this, Iron Crown's weakness to Ghost-type attacks can be remedied by using other Dark-types, such as Roaring Moon.

This specially defensive EV spread allows Weakness Policy Iron Crown to take special hits from very powerful special attackers such as Timid Choice Specs Darkrai, Raging Bolt, and Choice Specs Dragapult. Psyshock is vital for matchups such as Calm Mind Raging Bolt, Iron Valiant, and Alolan Ninetales, as it helps hit the weaker physical side on the former and assists against Disable variants on the latter two. The Defense EVs let Iron Crown survive Adamant Choice Band Knock Off from Meowscarada, while the Special Defense is enough to survive two Thunderbolts into a Thunderclap from Raging Bolt after a Calm Mind boost, since it would use Taunt on Iron Crown on the first turn. The Special Attack investment is enough to OHKO Haxorus with Tachyon Cutter after the Special Defense drop from Close Combat. This Iron Crown set can struggle a lot against opposing Iron Crown due to the lack of Stored Power and matches up poorly against common Fire- and Ground-types and other miscellaneous threats like Hoopa-U and Corviknight, so it's recommended to utilize strong partners such as Air Balloon Volcanion and Ogerpon-W.

Expanding Force is Iron Crown's go-to STAB move, allowing it to devastate foes under Psychic Terrain. Tachyon Cutter helps secure the OHKO on Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Whimsicott, which commonly hold Focus Sash. Tera Water is a naturally good defensive typing that, when coupled with Tera Blast, gives Iron Crown an out against the aforementioned Dark- and Steel-type Pokemon, which otherwise counter it. Focus Blast can be used over Tera Blast to secure the OHKO on Kingambit, but is rather inconsistent and is unable to hit Gholdengo. An alternative spread of 76 HP / 4 Def / 172 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe allows Iron Crown to outspeed Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao thanks to Speed Booster Energy. This set can also be run with a Modest nature to maximize Iron Crown's damage output, at the risk of underspeeding opposing Pokemon in the same Speed tier such as Modest Landorus and both Urshifu formes.

Iron Crown provides Steel teams breathing room against Fighting matchups, threatening intimidating foes such as Okidogi, Great Tusk, and Urshifu-R. Tachyon Cutter takes out threats like Focus Sash Breloom and Mimikyu, which normally don't get OHKOed. Volt Switch makes Iron Crown a fast and offensive pivot, allowing it to pivot out of foes such as Gholdengo and Alolan Muk, which otherwise threaten a ton of damage. Volt Switch can also heavily dent Flying and Water teams, damaging foes like Pelipper and Skarmory. Psychic allows Iron Crown to handle Fighting-type Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Iron Hands, and Great Tusk. Focus Blast breaks through Ursaluna, Hisuian Goodra, Empoleon, and Heatran, which are hard to deal with for Steel teams. Corviknight and Skarmory provide Iron Crown with a keen immunity to Ground-type moves. Corviknight removes entry hazards and offers a slow pivot through U-turn, whereas Skarmory sets hazards and phazes setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Sneasler and Dragon Dance Dragonite. Archaludon handles physical attackers such as Ceruledge and Ogerpon-H and exerts pressure on Dark-type foes such as Meowscarada and Bisharp, which threaten Iron Crown. Archaludon also spreads Thunder Wave to slow down fast foes like Tornadus-T and Greninja and sets Stealth Rock. Heatran provides an immunity to Fire-type moves from Ninetales and Volcarona while also setting Stealth Rock. Gholdengo, due to Good as Gold, prevents foes such as Blissey and Sableye from slowing down Iron Crown through Thunder Wave and also provides a Fighting immunity. Hisuian Goodra, thanks to its sheer special bulk, provides a safe switch-in against strong special attacks from threats like Greninja and Moltres. Iron Treads removes hazards and threatens Ground-types Pokemon such as Garchomp, Landorus-I, and Gliscor. With the help of priority in Sucker Punch, Bisharp shoves off Ghost-types such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult. In return, Iron Crown deals with Toxapex, Okidogi, and Great Tusk.

Iron Crown is an amazing Stored Power setup sweeper for Psychic due to its access to multiple useful setup moves, like Calm Mind and Agility, and a type combination that lets it activate Weakness Policy easily. On top of that, its typing means it's immune to Toxic and also has important resistances to types such as Dragon and Fairy. Calm Mind and Agility allow Iron Crown to boost its stats and Stored Power while also punishing opponents that play passively, trying to stall out dual screens. Behind dual screens, Iron Crown survives attacks like Fiery Dance from Choice Specs Iron Moth, Earth Power from Life Orb Landorus, and Knock Off from Alolan Muk, allowing it to capitalize on its weaknesses by activating Weakness Policy and boosting the power of Stored Power. Additionally, after activating its Weakness Policy and using a single Agility, Iron Crown can take on walls like Skarmory and Galarian Slowking, OHKOing the former after Stealth Rock damage and 2HKOing the latter; similarly, in this position, it makes quick work of offensive foes like Choice Band Dragapult, Landorus-T, and Ogerpon-H and -W. Tachyon Cutter is a secondary move that is meant to hit foes that are immune to Stored Power, such as Alolan Muk and Meowscarada, and it also bypasses enemies with Focus Sash and Sturdy, such as Glimmora and Ogerpon-C, respectively. Focus Blast can be used in place of Tachyon Cutter or Calm Mind to hit Steel-type foes, which resist Stored Power, and Dark-type foes, which are immune to it. Once Weakness Policy is activated, Focus Blast can eliminate special walls such as Ting-Lu and Heatran after they are mildly chipped. However, it is considered risky, as Focus Blast can miss. A Timid nature is preferred, since it lets Iron Crown outspeed Choice Scarf Dragapult after an Agility. However, a Modest nature can also be considered, as it still outspeeds Choice Scarf Meowscarada after an Agility, and at +2 Special Attack, Iron Crown can OHKO Heatran. Deoxys-S and Scream Tail set up entry hazards and dual screens, allowing Iron Crown to survive hits and set up successfully. Indeedee-M is immune to Ghost and sets Psychic Terrain for Iron Crown, shielding it from priority moves such as Ceruledge's Shadow Sneak and Hisuian Samurott's Sucker Punch. It also provides Healing Wish support to bring Iron Crown back into shape if it gets worn down. Galarian Slowking assists Iron Crown by spreading poison through Toxic Spikes or Toxic, pressuring bulky special walls such as Ting-Lu, while also providing pivoting with Chilly Reception. Hatterene prevents foes from setting up hazards, allowing Iron Crown to come in safely, and it can also help weaken Dark-types. Iron Boulder heavily damages special walls that trouble Iron Crown such as Heatran and Hisuian Goodra. Additionally, Iron Boulder checks Fire-type threats such as Ogerpon-H, Volcarona, and Cinderace while also dissuading Cinderace from using Court Change to steal dual screens. Choice Specs Flutter Mane overwhelms Iron Crown, but Choice Scarf Iron Boulder outspeeds it and removes it. Latios provides a switch-in to Ground-type moves thanks to its immunity to them, and it removes Dragon-type foes such as Garchomp and Walking Wake. Hoopa-U helps in removing Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Flutter Mane. Slowbro chips opposing Fire-type threats such as Hisuian Arcanine while also burning physical attackers, such as Barraskewda and Choice Band Excadrill, and setup sweepers, like Dragonite and Scizor, with Scald. Armarouge removes Steel-type threats that resist Iron Crown's STAB moves, such as Forretress and Iron Treads, with the combination of Aura Sphere and Armor Cannon.

Iron Crown is one of the best sweepers of the tier that, thanks to Expanding Force, hits really hard even without boosts! With Booster Energy, Iron Crown outspeeds almost everything in the metagame, and while in Psychic Terrain, it can gain a significant advantage early-game or close games easily after Dark- and Steel-types in its path have been removed. Tachyon Cutter hits harder than Expanding Force when Psychic Terrain isn't up and helps against snow teams, OHKOing Alolan Ninetales before it can set up Aurora Veil. Notably, its two-hit nature allows Iron Crown to remove Focus Sash Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Glimmora with one move. Calm Mind makes Iron Crown hard to remove with special attackers, especially if it Terastallized, and also helps to KO bulkier Pokemon like Terastallized Assault Vest Iron Hands, Assault Vest Rillaboom, and Gholdengo. The EV spread is made to get the boost in Speed with Quark Drive while getting the maximum Special Attack possible, and the bulk investment is used to take a Flare Blitz from Incineroar. Iron Crown pairs perfectly with Indeedee-F by setting up Psychic Terrain, helping it set up Calm Mind with Follow Me, and enabling it with Helping Hand to pick up KOs on foes like Terastallized Ogerpon-W after a boost. Iron Crown appreciates Follow Me for setup, and for this reason, it's usually paired with Ogerpon-W or Ogerpon-H. Ogerpon-W helps in dealing with Landorus and Fire-types like Incineroar and Chi-Yu, which can threaten Iron Crown, while Ogerpon-H can remove Steel-types like Gholdengo and Kingambit, which would otherwise prevent a sweep. Both Ogerpon formes can also threaten Ting-Lu, a foe that's otherwise hard to remove. Landorus is another Pokemon that helps to remove Steel- and Fire-types. Tornadus is great too, since it threatens Rillaboom with Bleakwind Storm and makes sure that Iron Crown is always the fastest Pokemon by matching the Tailwind from opposing Tornadus and Roaring Moon. Tera Psychic increases Expanding Force's damage output further, helping to get KOs and putting a lot of pressure on the opponent, especially after a Calm Mind. It also allows Iron Crown to take neutral damage from Landorus's Earth Power, Incineroar's Flare Blitz, and Ogerpon-H's Ivy Cudgel. Tera Dragon allows Iron Crown to wall both Ogerpon-W and Ogerpon-H's STAB moves and take neutral damage from Gholdengo's Shadow Ball and Dark-type moves from Kingambit and Chien-Pao. The added resistances are especially useful in the Rillaboom matchup, since the STAB boost from Tera Psychic isn't as relevant without Psychic Terrain.

Assault Vest Iron Crown functions as a niche defensive pivot; with the item's boost, it can leverage its high Special Defense to be able to reliably switch in on and answer foes such as Tapu Lele, Raging Bolt, and Calm Mind Iron Valiant. Psychic Noise prevents healing from foes such as Zapdos, Alomomola, and Iron Defense + Body Press Zamazenta, which often carries Substitute. Volt Switch lets Iron Crown pivot out of bad matchups while also having the bonus of hitting foes such as Moltres and Corviknight decently hard. Focus Blast is used to hit Steel-type targets such as Ferrothorn and Heatran for meaningful damage. On Electric Terrain teams, an EV spread with 172 Special Attack EVs can be used in order to grant Iron Crown with a Speed boost under Electric Terrain courtesy of Quark Drive, letting it outspeed the entirety of the unboosted tier. Assault Vest Iron Crown fits primarily on bulky offense and offense teams, where its ability to check foes such as Tapu Lele and special Iron Valiant is greatly appreciated. Teammates that are vulnerable to the aforementioned Fairy-types, such as Dragonite, Garchomp, and Hisuian Samurott, all value Iron Crown's defensive capabilities. In return, all three can effectively pressure opposing Steel-types such as Heatran and Gholdengo. Iron Crown struggles with Ground-type foes such as Garchomp, Landorus-T, and Gliscor, meaning Flying-type teammates such as Zapdos and Moltres are appreciated. In return, Iron Crown can be a good switch-in against Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko, which could otherwise threaten them. Iron Crown also struggles to break bulky Dark-types such as Ting-Lu; therefore, Fighting-types like Zamazenta, Iron Valiant and Urshifu-R can make good teammates. Iron Crown can support them by being a reliable answer to Psychic- and Fairy-types, including the aforementioned Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, as well as pivoting them in against Steel-types such as Ferrothorn. Tapu Koko can also make an excellent partner due to its ability to set Electric Terrain, allowing Iron Crown to be able to outspeed and threaten foes such as Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Zamazenta, while also forming a pivoting core with it. Landorus-T and Great Tusk also form an excellent defensive core with Iron Crown, with Iron Crown being able to switch in on threats such as Tapu Lele and, in turn, these allies being good answers to common Ground-types such as Gliscor and opposing Landorus-T.

Functioning as a niche setup sweeper, Iron Crown can leverage its good natural bulk and excellent coverage to effectively sweep. Psychic Noise is used to prevent healing from foes such as Gliscor and Moltres while being a more reliable STAB option when Iron Crown is not yet set up. As an alternative, Stored Power can be used in conjunction with Iron Defense in order to make Iron Crown a threatening Double Dance sweeper. Focus Blast is used to hit Steel-types such as Heatran and Ferrothorn, which could otherwise comfortably take its STAB moves. Tachyon Cutter is used to hit Fairy-types such as Hatterene and Tapu Lele, which would otherwise be able to switch in on Iron Crown. Iron Defense boosts the power of Stored Power while also making Iron Crown more resistant against physical attackers such as Zamazenta, Melmetal, and Dragonite, letting it turn them into setup fodder. 172 Special Attack EVs are used in order to grant Iron Crown Quark Drive's Speed boost with Booster Energy, letting it outspeed most foes. This Iron Crown set fits exclusively on hyper offense teams where its ability to clean late-game is appreciated. Due to often lacking the bulk to set up reliably, dual screens support from teammates such as Zamazenta and Tapu Koko are appreciated, with the latter also activating its Quark Drive, potentially enabling Iron Crown to run a different item. Another good teammate is Tapu Lele, as Psychic Terrain provides Iron Crown with an immunity to priority moves from foes such as Kingambit and also boosts the power of its Psychic-type moves. In return, Iron Crown can threaten foes such as Hatterene and opposing Tapu Lele. Iron Crown struggles to beat Gholdengo, meaning Fire-type teammates that can threaten it such as Volcarona and Mega Charizard X are appreciated. In return, Iron Crown can threaten Toxapex and set up on Alomomola for them, as both of them could otherwise come in on these Fire-types comfortably. Iron Crown also struggles with Ground-types such as Choice Scarf Landorus-T and Gliscor, meaning Flying-types such as Dragonite and your own Landorus-T make excellent teammates; Landorus-T also effectively damages Steel-types, making it easier for Iron Crown to sweep. Iron Crown can repay Landorus-T by breaking through Flying-types such as Zapdos and Tornadus-T, which would otherwise be able to wall it. Iron Crown struggles to beat Ting-Lu, meaning Fighting-type teammates such as Zamazenta and Iron Valiant are appreciated, with Iron Crown in return beating Fairy-types such as Mega Diancie, Clefable and Hatterene. Dark-types like Kingambit and Hisuian Samurott also make great partners, with both being able to threaten Iron Crown's main answer in Gholdengo and Hisuian Samurott also setting up Spikes to let Iron Crown break teams with greater ease.

EV spread gets a Speed boost from Quark Drive

Iron Crown charges into battle on offensive Psychic teams as a threatening Calm Mind setup sweeper with a useful defensive typing and decent bulk. With Calm Mind, Agility, and Stored Power, Iron Crown can quickly snowball out of control and muscle its way through Psychic-resistant foes while outrunning would-be revenge killers such as Meowscarada and Landorus-I. Weakness Policy is Iron Crown's preferred item, as activating it hugely increases Stored Power's Base Power without requiring multiple turns of setup. Once boosted, Iron Crown can easily use Tachyon Cutter to trample Steel-weak teams like Fairy, Rock, and Ice, while Stored Power blasts through teams typically lacking specially bulky Psychic-resistant or -immune Pokemon like Electric and Ground lacking Ting-Lu. Focus Blast can lure specially defensive phazers that usually stop Iron Crown like Ting-Lu, Hisuian Goodra, and Empoleon. Iron Crown's EVs allow it to activate Speed Quark Drive in Electric Terrain, which is very useful to outspeed fast Electric types like Tapu Koko and Zeraora that typically use Electric-type attacks freely against Psychic teams. Iron Crown greatly appreciates dual screens support, so a dedicated setter like Deoxys-S is a great help. With dual screens active, Iron Crown can survive and activate Weakness Policy against dangerous attacks like Gholdengo's Never-Ending Nightmare, Mega Charizard Y's Flamethrower, and Choice Band Excadrill's Earthquake. Tapu Lele is another notable partner, as it provides Psychic Terrain, blocking dangerous priority moves that could threaten Iron Crown like Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak. In return, Iron Crown provides a switch-in to Poison-type moves targeting Tapu Lele and helps break through shared checks like Alolan Muk. Mega Gallade is another synergistic teammate that clobbers threats to Iron Crown like Hisuian Goodra, Blissey, Hisuian Samurott, and Bisharp. In turn, Iron Crown can break through physical walls that frustrate Mega Gallade like Dondozo, Quagsire, and Slowbro. Latias, sporting a Ground immunity and a Fire-type resistance, can not only cover these weaknesses for Iron Crown, but also can utilize Healing Wish to get it back in the race if a previous sweep attempt was halted via damage or status.

This is the sample set before we work on new analyses. This will be updated as the metagame continues to develop. Stay tuned!
