Galarian Slowking is an excellent pivot owing to its combination of Regenerator and Chilly Reception, which gives it some of the best longevity in the tier.

Assault Vest Galarian Slowking is an effective special wall that uses its unique typing and wide coverage to act as a versatile tank. The overwhelming majority of special attackers in the tier, including difficult-to-wall foes like Serperior and Iron Moth, lack the means to effectively break through it. Meanwhile, Galarian Slowking's good Special Attack and coverage mean few Pokemon are not threatened by it. Regenerator lets Galarian Slowking have a form of healing while holding Assault Vest. Sludge Bomb is a spammable STAB move that can cripple switch-ins with poison. Future Sight lets Galarian Slowking support wallbreakers while also punishing Pokemon such as Swords Dance Cinderace that would otherwise try and set up on it. Flamethrower primarily targets Steel-types like Aegislash and Celesteela. Scald hits Ground-types and potentially cripples physical attackers and walls like Skarmory and Mega Tyranitar. This EV spread is used to guarantee that Galarian Slowking will not be 2HKOed by Latios's Choice Specs-boosted Draco Meteor after Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes, with the remaining EVs being used to augment Galarian Slowking's Special Attack. Galarian Slowking best fits on bulky teams looking for a versatile tank that serves as a blanket check to most of the tier's special attackers. Examples of partners that appreciate this include Clefable, SubToxic Aegislash, and Gastrodon. Entry hazard removers like Tapu Fini are crucial support, as even one layer of entry hazards significantly cuts into Galarian Slowking's recovery. Galarian Slowking struggles the most against Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar, as while no physical attacker enjoys switching into its Scald or Sludge Bomb, they can easily trap it once they're on the field. Bulky Fighting-types like Iron Hands and Buzzwole and defensive walls such as Skarmory and Tangrowth can handle these foes for Galarian Slowking. Aegislash is another notable issue for Galarian Slowking, as its Ghost typing combined with its huge bulk and offenses lets it easily win one-on-one. Ground-types like Iron Treads can serve as effective checks to it.

Stone Edge slices through Articuno, Moltres, and Baxcalibur. A Jolly nature lets Mamoswine outrun maximum Speed Heatran and Cloyster and Speed tie with maximum Speed Hoopa-U and Gallade at the cost of considerable power, no longer guaranteeing a 2HKO on Quagsire for instance. Heavy Slam can make Galarian Weezing an unsafe switch-in as well as OHKO Hatterene.

Mamoswine is a staple pick for Ice teams, offering many useful traits, including a Fire neutrality via its ability Thick Fat, an Electric immunity that nullifies Thunder Wave and Volt Switch, and access to Stealth Rock. Mamoswine's primary attacking move is its strong STAB Earthquake, allowing it to threaten bulky Steel-types such as Heatran, Hisuian Goodra, Empoleon, and Magnezone, which is of great importance for Ice. Mamoswine's Earthquake finds further use as Ice's best way of dealing with Iron Hands, Toxapex, and Okidogi. Ice Shard lets Mamoswine circumvent its middling Speed and pick off weakened offensive threats such as Dragapult, Dragonite, Meowscarada, and Enamorus, as well as OHKO Landorus after Stealth Rock. Smack Down gives Mamoswine the capacity to threaten Corviknight with its powerful Earthquake and force it out, making it adept at keeping Stealth Rock up against Flying teams by making it difficult for Corviknight to use Defog. Smack Down provides further utility by allowing Mamoswine to ground and threaten Zapdos, 2HKO Articuno, and crucially OHKO defensively uninvested Volcarona. As an alternative to Smack Down, Icicle Crash can be used as a broadly powerful Ice-type STAB move that allows Mamoswine to better pressure targets such as Mandibuzz, Ursaluna-B, and Amoonguss, at the cost of making the Flying matchup more difficult. The given EVs render physically defensive Corviknight's Body Press a 3HKO against Mamoswine after Leftovers recovery while maximizing attack power, making Mamoswine much more effective at threatening Corviknight. Furthermore, they allow Mamoswine to live a +1 Flamethrower from offensive Volcarona and OHKO it in return with Smack Down, as well as outpace Adamant Kingambit and Iron Hands.

Baxcalibur forms a fantastic offensive core with Mamoswine, providing a burn immunity via Thermal Exchange and a resistance to Water to compensate for Mamoswine's weaknesses. To complement Baxcalibur, Mamoswine sets Stealth Rock and removes bulky Steel-types, such as Empoleon and Corviknight, in order to pave the way for Baxcalibur's sweeping or wallbreaking. Alolan Ninetales pairs excellently with Mamoswine, setting snow and Aurora Veil to improve Mamoswine's defenses even further and dealing with the Fighting-types that threaten Mamoswine such as Urshifu-R and Iron Valiant. In return, Mamoswine can comfortably take Heavy Slams aimed at Alolan Ninetales under snow and threaten their users, including Hisuian Goodra, Iron Hands, and Iron Treads. Froslass can set Spikes to compound the offensive pressure that Mamoswine's Stealth Rock creates while also serving as a Fighting immunity and a spinblocker. Chien-Pao appreciates Mamoswine's Stealth Rock bringing foes down to KO ranges and breaking Ceruledge's Focus Sash to enable its sweeping and wallbreaking; it supports Mamoswine in turn by threatening problematic foes such as Gholdengo and Spectrier, as well as Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-W if using Choice Band. Frosmoth similarly benefits from Mamoswine setting Stealth Rock and breaking Steel-types such as Heatran, while it threatens physical walls such as Quagsire and Great Tusk in exchange. Alolan Sandslash can neutralize Toxic from foes such as Toxapex aimed at Mamoswine, threaten Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant, and use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes such as Amoonguss and Toxapex and open them up to being chipped by Stealth Rock. Moreover, both Alolan Sandslash and Avalugg can help prevent Mamoswine from being worn down by entry hazards by spinning them away. Cetitan and Cloyster are other sweepers on Ice to accompany Baxcalibur that benefit from the offensive pressure that Mamoswine's Stealth Rock creates. Cloyster greatly appreciates Mamoswine's Electric immunity, and Cetitan can only OHKO Corviknight at +6 after Stealth Rock.

Mamoswine is a great offensive option for Ground teams thanks to its huge Attack stat, access to priority, and unique STAB combination. Mamoswine's ability, Thick Fat, also allows for it to act as an extremely valuable resistance to Ice, meaning it can switch into foes like Articuno. Icicle Crash shreds Grass-type Pokemon, such as Amoonguss and Sinistcha, and Flying-type Pokemon, such as Mandibuzz and Gliscor, that would otherwise resist or be immune to Ground-type moves. Icicle Crash is extremely threatening to Flying-type teams in particular, as most Flying-type Pokemon are 2HKOed by Icicle Crash, meaning there are no safe switchins. Ice Shard is a fantastic priority move that allows Mamoswine to stand its ground against faster Pokemon such as both Landorus formes, Cyclizar, Meowscarada, and Dragapult. Knock Off is a good final option to help deal with walls that may take a bit more time to whittle down, such as Dondozo and Corviknight, as well as create permanent progress against Pokemon such as Baxcalibur and Articuno, which both rely heavily on their items, whether it be offensively or defensively.

Mamoswine greatly appreciates entry hazard support from Pokemon like Quagsire, as the extra damage could be the difference between a 2HKO or an opportunity for an OHKO on lots of Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Meowscarada with Ice Shard, Icicle Crash on Corviknight, and Earthquake on Toxapex and Amoonguss. Clodsire is a good teammate for Mamoswine, as it can switch in to Water- and Fighting-type attacks from Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Sneasler, and Walking Wake that would otherwise make quick work of Mamoswine, as well as provide Toxic and entry hazard support. Iron Treads is another good teammate for Mamoswine, as it keeps hazards off the field in order to prevent Mamoswine from being chipped down, as well as setts up hazards of its own. Alternatively, Choice Scarf Iron Treads outspeeds and hits Iron Valiant and Flutter Mane, which both threaten Mamoswine, for super effective damage. Choice Scarf Great Tusk is another teammate that pairs well with Mamoswine. Great Tusk is able to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon that check Mamoswine such as Choice Specs Greninja and Cinderace. Once faster threats have been taken care of, Mamoswine will have an easy time breaking the opposing team with its extremely powerful attacks. Ursaluna-B is a great teammate for Mamoswine, as it can absorb status conditions from Pokemon like Rotom-W and Sableye, as well as threatening them back with its extremely powerful Blood Moon. Ursaluna-B is also capable of using Vacuum wave to snipe Chien-Pao. Gliscor can also absorb status moves, as well as absorbing status moves and Fighting-type attacks that Mamoswine does not want to deal with. Gliscor is also able to support Mamoswine with Spikes and Toxic. Landorus forms a potent offensive core with Mamoswine, destroying Physical walls such as Quagsire and Slowbro, while Mamoswine deals with special walls such as Gliscor and Gastrodon. Additionally, Landorus can set Gravity for Mamoswine so that it can freely spam Earthquake. Lastly, Sandy Shocks is capable of dealing with Pokemon such as Pelipper and Corviknight, as well as providing hazard and Gravity support. Mamoswine easily takes care of the Ground-types that would wall Sandy Shocks.

Iron Treads is a staple on defensive teams due to its coveted Ground typing, its versatility, and its ability to soft check dangerous threats such as Aegislash and Tyranitar. Iron Head provides more damage output against Clefable and Enamorus. Knock Off complements Iron Treads's coverage by removing items from switch-ins such as Buzzwole, Skarmory, and Celesteela. Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin may be run on the same set, but it is ill-advised, as running both means Iron Treads will struggle to fit all of its other moves. Without Iron Head, it struggles to pressure Calm Mind Clefable, and without Volt Switch, it severely lacks the ability to generate momentum. Assault Vest can be run over Leftovers to provide additional insurance against special attackers like Enamorus and Hydreigon in exchange for recovery. Maximum HP investment ensures Iron Treads is as bulky as possible, while 208 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature allow it to outspeed Base 100 Speed Pokemon such as Victini. The remaining 48 EVs are invested into Special Defense to help it pivot more easily into special attackers. Defensive Iron Treads acts as a Swiss army knife for bulkier teams due to its variable utility options. Offensive Pokemon that are weak to entry hazards such as Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, Mega Aerodactyl, and Choice Specs Blacephalon appreciate Iron Treads’s Rapid Spin support. Iron Treads also acts as a middle ground switch-in to Pokemon like Clefable, Mega Tyranitar, and some Tapu Fini variants, which benefits Pokemon like Hydreigon, Salamence, Blacephalon, and Latios. Iron Treads can form robust defensive cores with Water-types such as Tapu Fini and Slowbro and Grass-types such as Mega Venusaur; the former two can handle Fire- and Fighting-type attacks, while the latter can take on Ground-types such as Gastrodon. Mega Venusaur and Tangrowth can switch into Knock Off for Iron Treads, allowing it to preserve Leftovers for the later stages of the game. In return, Iron Treads facilitates entry for these defensive Pokemon via Volt Switch. Skarmory, Celesteela, and Buzzwole can prove to be long-term nuisances for Iron Treads, even though they don’t appreciate losing their items to Knock Off. As such, Pokemon that can exploit their presence such as Tapu Fini, Skeledirge, and Hisuian Arcanine make for excellent partners. Finally, Wish support from Clefable provides Iron Treads with recovery and enables it to stay healthy in the long run.

" + }, + "Offensive Utility": { + "description": "

Offensive Iron Treads leverages its excellent defensive typing in tandem with decent coverage to function as a lead or an early- or mid-game hazard setter for more fast-paced teams. While offensive Iron Treads does compete with lead and offensive Rapid Spin Excadrill, Iron Treads boasts greater longevity and Speed over Excadrill despite sacrificing power. Knock Off is necessary for removing Leftovers or Heavy-Duty Boots from defensive Pokemon to wear them down for itself and its teammates. Iron Head is an option to hit specific Pokemon such as Clefable, Enamorus, and Hydreigon, but a dedicated lead set can be run with both Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin if Iron Treads' teammates require entry hazard support. Iron Treads’s item can help double down on these advantages, with Leftovers providing passive recovery to mitigate hazard chip and Booster Energy allowing it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, most importantly offensive Pokemon such as Cinderace, Zeraora, and Iron Moth. Maximum Attack and Speed investment provides Iron Treads with sufficient power and Speed to function as an early-game offensive pivot. A Jolly nature is crucial for outrunning dangerous threats such as Thundurus-T, Sandy Shocks, Jirachi, and Z-Celebrate Victini while also ensuring Iron Treads receives a Speed boost when using Booster Energy. Iron Treads finds itself on bulky offense and even hyper offense teams thanks to its consistency as an offensive spinner. As such, it appreciates offensive partners that can carry its momentum to overwhelm opposing teams. Deadly setup sweepers such as Bisharp, Swords Dance Aegislash, and Iron Hands, or wallbreakers like Latios, Enamorus, and Mega Heracross exploit Iron Treads's ability to clear hazards and remove crucial defensive items from their checks, such as Leftovers on specially defensive Celesteela. Offensive Iron Treads invites in physically bulky Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Slowbro, Quagsire, Skarmory, Celesteela, and Buzzwole, which could lead to a loss in momentum. Partners such as Iron Moth, Enamorus, Serperior, and Latios can either put pressure on these walls or punish them outright for switching in. In exchange, they appreciate Iron Treads forcing progress against specially defensive Pokemon such as Aegislash, Blissey, Chansey and Galarian Slowking. Galarian Slowking can provide Future Sight and Teleport support, which benefits both Iron Treads and the offensive structures it finds itself on. Offensive Spikes users like Meowscarada form an excellent hazard-stacking core with Iron Treads that can further pressure defensive Pokemon and allow Iron Treads to be conserved as a mid-game Stealth Rock setter or spinner.

Stone Edge slices through Articuno, Moltres, and Baxcalibur. A Jolly nature lets Mamoswine outrun maximum Speed Heatran and Cloyster and Speed tie with maximum Speed Hoopa-U and Gallade at the cost of considerable power, no longer guaranteeing a 2HKO on Quagsire for instance. Heavy Slam can make Galarian Weezing an unsafe switch-in as well as OHKO Hatterene.

Mamoswine is a staple pick for Ice teams, offering many useful traits, including a Fire neutrality via its ability Thick Fat, an Electric immunity that nullifies Thunder Wave and Volt Switch, and access to Stealth Rock. Mamoswine's primary attacking move is its strong STAB Earthquake, allowing it to threaten bulky Steel-types such as Heatran, Hisuian Goodra, Empoleon, and Magnezone, which is of great importance for Ice. Mamoswine's Earthquake finds further use as Ice's best way of dealing with Iron Hands, Toxapex, and Okidogi. Ice Shard lets Mamoswine circumvent its middling Speed and pick off weakened offensive threats such as Dragapult, Dragonite, Meowscarada, and Enamorus, as well as OHKO Landorus after Stealth Rock. Smack Down gives Mamoswine the capacity to threaten Corviknight with its powerful Earthquake and force it out, making it adept at keeping Stealth Rock up against Flying teams by making it difficult for Corviknight to use Defog. Smack Down provides further utility by allowing Mamoswine to ground and threaten Zapdos, 2HKO Articuno, and crucially OHKO defensively uninvested Volcarona. As an alternative to Smack Down, Icicle Crash can be used as a broadly powerful Ice-type STAB move that allows Mamoswine to better pressure targets such as Mandibuzz, Ursaluna-B, and Amoonguss, at the cost of making the Flying matchup more difficult. The given EVs render physically defensive Corviknight's Body Press a 3HKO against Mamoswine after Leftovers recovery while maximizing attack power, making Mamoswine much more effective at threatening Corviknight. Furthermore, they allow Mamoswine to live a +1 Flamethrower from offensive Volcarona and OHKO it in return with Smack Down, as well as outpace Adamant Kingambit and Iron Hands.

Baxcalibur forms a fantastic offensive core with Mamoswine, providing a burn immunity via Thermal Exchange and a resistance to Water to compensate for Mamoswine's weaknesses. To complement Baxcalibur, Mamoswine sets Stealth Rock and removes bulky Steel-types, such as Empoleon and Corviknight, in order to pave the way for Baxcalibur's sweeping or wallbreaking. Alolan Ninetales pairs excellently with Mamoswine, setting snow and Aurora Veil to improve Mamoswine's defenses even further and dealing with the Fighting-types that threaten Mamoswine such as Urshifu-R and Iron Valiant. In return, Mamoswine can comfortably take Heavy Slams aimed at Alolan Ninetales under snow and threaten their users, including Hisuian Goodra, Iron Hands, and Iron Treads. Froslass can set Spikes to compound the offensive pressure that Mamoswine's Stealth Rock creates while also serving as a Fighting immunity and a spinblocker. Chien-Pao appreciates Mamoswine's Stealth Rock bringing foes down to KO ranges and breaking Ceruledge's Focus Sash to enable its sweeping and wallbreaking; it supports Mamoswine in turn by threatening problematic foes such as Gholdengo and Spectrier, as well as Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-W if using Choice Band. Frosmoth similarly benefits from Mamoswine setting Stealth Rock and breaking Steel-types such as Heatran, while it threatens physical walls such as Quagsire and Great Tusk in exchange. Alolan Sandslash can neutralize Toxic from foes such as Toxapex aimed at Mamoswine, threaten Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant, and use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes such as Amoonguss and Toxapex and open them up to being chipped by Stealth Rock. Moreover, both Alolan Sandslash and Avalugg can help prevent Mamoswine from being worn down by entry hazards by spinning them away. Cetitan and Cloyster are other sweepers on Ice to accompany Baxcalibur that benefit from the offensive pressure that Mamoswine's Stealth Rock creates. Cloyster greatly appreciates Mamoswine's Electric immunity, and Cetitan can only OHKO Corviknight at +6 after Stealth Rock.

Mamoswine is a great offensive option for Ground teams thanks to its huge Attack stat, access to priority, and unique STAB combination. Mamoswine's ability, Thick Fat, also allows for it to act as an extremely valuable resistance to Ice, meaning it can switch into foes like Articuno. Icicle Crash shreds Grass-type Pokemon, such as Amoonguss and Sinistcha, and Flying-type Pokemon, such as Mandibuzz and Gliscor, that would otherwise resist or be immune to Ground-type moves. Icicle Crash is extremely threatening to Flying-type teams in particular, as most Flying-type Pokemon are 2HKOed by Icicle Crash, meaning there are no safe switchins. Ice Shard is a fantastic priority move that allows Mamoswine to stand its ground against faster Pokemon such as both Landorus formes, Cyclizar, Meowscarada, and Dragapult. Knock Off is a good final option to help deal with walls that may take a bit more time to whittle down, such as Dondozo and Corviknight, as well as create permanent progress against Pokemon such as Baxcalibur and Articuno, which both rely heavily on their items, whether it be offensively or defensively.

Mamoswine greatly appreciates entry hazard support from Pokemon like Quagsire, as the extra damage could be the difference between a 2HKO or an opportunity for an OHKO on lots of Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Meowscarada with Ice Shard, Icicle Crash on Corviknight, and Earthquake on Toxapex and Amoonguss. Clodsire is a good teammate for Mamoswine, as it can switch in to Water- and Fighting-type attacks from Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Sneasler, and Walking Wake that would otherwise make quick work of Mamoswine, as well as provide Toxic and entry hazard support. Iron Treads is another good teammate for Mamoswine, as it keeps hazards off the field in order to prevent Mamoswine from being chipped down, as well as setts up hazards of its own. Alternatively, Choice Scarf Iron Treads outspeeds and hits Iron Valiant and Flutter Mane, which both threaten Mamoswine, for super effective damage. Choice Scarf Great Tusk is another teammate that pairs well with Mamoswine. Great Tusk is able to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon that check Mamoswine such as Choice Specs Greninja and Cinderace. Once faster threats have been taken care of, Mamoswine will have an easy time breaking the opposing team with its extremely powerful attacks. Ursaluna-B is a great teammate for Mamoswine, as it can absorb status conditions from Pokemon like Rotom-W and Sableye, as well as threatening them back with its extremely powerful Blood Moon. Ursaluna-B is also capable of using Vacuum wave to snipe Chien-Pao. Gliscor can also absorb status moves, as well as absorbing status moves and Fighting-type attacks that Mamoswine does not want to deal with. Gliscor is also able to support Mamoswine with Spikes and Toxic. Landorus forms a potent offensive core with Mamoswine, destroying Physical walls such as Quagsire and Slowbro, while Mamoswine deals with special walls such as Gliscor and Gastrodon. Additionally, Landorus can set Gravity for Mamoswine so that it can freely spam Earthquake. Lastly, Sandy Shocks is capable of dealing with Pokemon such as Pelipper and Corviknight, as well as providing hazard and Gravity support. Mamoswine easily takes care of the Ground-types that would wall Sandy Shocks.

Assault Vest Galarian Slowking is an effective special wall that uses its unique typing and wide coverage to act as a versatile tank. The overwhelming majority of special attackers in the tier, including difficult-to-wall foes like Serperior and Iron Moth, lack the means to effectively break through it. Meanwhile, Galarian Slowking's good Special Attack and coverage mean few Pokemon are not threatened by it. Regenerator lets Galarian Slowking have a form of healing while holding Assault Vest. Sludge Bomb is a spammable STAB move that can cripple switch-ins with poison. Future Sight lets Galarian Slowking support wallbreakers while also punishing Pokemon such as Swords Dance Cinderace that would otherwise try and set up on it. Flamethrower primarily targets Steel-types like Aegislash and Celesteela. Scald hits Ground-types and potentially cripples physical attackers and walls like Skarmory and Mega Tyranitar.

Entry hazard removers like Tapu Fini are crucial support, as even one layer of entry hazards significantly cuts into Galarian Slowking's recovery. Galarian Slowking struggles the most against Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar, as while no physical attacker enjoys switching into its Scald or Sludge Bomb, they can easily trap it once they're on the field. Bulky Fighting-types like Iron Hands and Buzzwole and defensive walls such as Skarmory and Tangrowth can handle these foes for Galarian Slowking. Aegislash is another notable issue for Galarian Slowking, as its Ghost typing combined with its huge bulk and offenses lets it easily win one-on-one.

Offensive Iron Treads leverages its excellent defensive typing in tandem with decent coverage to function as a lead or an early- or mid-game hazard setter for more fast-paced teams. While offensive Iron Treads does compete with lead and offensive Rapid Spin Excadrill, Iron Treads boasts greater longevity and Speed over Excadrill despite sacrificing power. Knock Off is necessary for removing Leftovers or Heavy-Duty Boots from defensive Pokemon to wear them down for itself and its teammates. Iron Head is an option to hit specific Pokemon such as Clefable, Enamorus, and Hydreigon, but a dedicated lead set can be run with both Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin if Iron Treads' teammates require entry hazard support. Iron Treads’s item can help double down on these advantages, with Leftovers providing passive recovery to mitigate hazard chip and Booster Energy allowing it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, most importantly offensive Pokemon such as Cinderace, Zeraora, and Iron Moth. Maximum Attack and Speed investment provides Iron Treads with sufficient power and Speed to function as an early-game offensive pivot. A Jolly nature is crucial for outrunning dangerous threats such as Thundurus-T, Sandy Shocks, Jirachi, and Z-Celebrate Victini while also ensuring Iron Treads receives a Speed boost when using Booster Energy. Iron Treads finds itself on bulky offense and even hyper offense teams thanks to its consistency as an offensive spinner. As such, it appreciates offensive partners that can carry its momentum to overwhelm opposing teams. Deadly setup sweepers such as Bisharp, Swords Dance Aegislash, and Iron Hands, or wallbreakers like Latios, Enamorus, and Mega Heracross exploit Iron Treads's ability to clear hazards and remove crucial defensive items from their checks, such as Leftovers on specially defensive Celesteela. Offensive Iron Treads invites in physically bulky Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Slowbro, Quagsire, Skarmory, Celesteela, and Buzzwole, which could lead to a loss in momentum. Partners such as Iron Moth, Enamorus, Serperior, and Latios can either put pressure on these walls or punish them outright for switching in. In exchange, they appreciate Iron Treads forcing progress against specially defensive Pokemon such as Aegislash, Blissey, Chansey and Galarian Slowking. Galarian Slowking can provide Future Sight and Teleport support, which benefits both Iron Treads and the offensive structures it finds itself on. Offensive Spikes users like Meowscarada form an excellent hazard-stacking core with Iron Treads that can further pressure defensive Pokemon and allow Iron Treads to be conserved as a mid-game Stealth Rock setter or spinner.
