Strategy Overview

Iron Bundle is one of the foremost speed control options in Ubers thanks to its fantastic offensive typing and the fact that it is one of the few Pokemon surpassing the critical base 135 Speed tier. Hydro Pump and Freeze-Dry give Iron Bundle perfect coverage, and Ice Beam deals considerable damage to many prominent threats in the tier, such as Koraidon, Miraidon, Eternatus, and Arceus-Ground. Unfortunately, Iron Bundle is hampered by its dreadful defensive typing and special bulk, which leaves most teams with abundant means of OHKOing it; for example, even uninvested attacks such as Judgment from the Arceus formes and Dynamax Cannon from defensive Eternatus can OHKO Iron Bundle. As a result, Iron Bundle has difficulty getting safely onto the battlefield without the help of pivoting moves from its teammates. Additionally, Iron Bundle must be wary of potential status moves from the likes of defensive Arceus formes, Kyogre, Giratina-O, Eternatus, and Gliscor, since paralysis renders Iron Bundle completely useless, while poison and burn exacerbate Iron Bundle's problems with longevity.
