Gen 9 Monotype Choice ScarfIron Boulder @ Choice ScarfAbility: Quark DriveTera Type: RockEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Mighty Cleave- Zen Headbutt- Close Combat / Sacred Sword- Earthquake
Iron Boulder’s base 124 Speed allows it to be used as a Choice Scarf user in Gen 9 Monotype to revenge kill faster Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Flutter Mane, and Dragapult. Might Cleave is used for the Rock STAB since not only it doesn’t miss, but it can also bypass protection moves, which is pretty neat. Zen Headbutt is used for a Psychic STAB that allows Iron Boulder to break through Poison-types such as Amoonguss, Clodsire, and Toxapex. Zen Headbutt is also nice to hit Fighting-types such as Ursifhu-Rapid-Strike, Sneasler, Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Iron Valiant super effectively. Close Combat is used for a coverage move to hit Steel- and Rock-types such as Iron Treads, Kingambit, Archaludon, Excadrill, Empoleon, Garganacl, and Ogerpon-Cornerstone super effectively. Sacred Sword is an option to use to ignore the defense boosts of Pokemon such as Archaludon and Garganacl. Earthquake along with Mighty Cleave forms the EdgeQuake (MightyQuake in this case) combo in addition to allowing Iron Boulder to OHKO non-Air Balloon Heatran and 2HKOing Alolan Muk, which is useful for the Poison matchup.
