Team pitfalls when building around Iron Hands

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to ground, psychic, and fairy.
  • Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
  • Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
