Secondly, Iron Head really isn't a good move on Arcanine. Against all relevant fairies (being M-Gardevoir, Sylveon, Azumarill and Togekiss) Flare blitz does more damage (granted it does recoil damage, but that doesn't justify a waste moveslot).

Calcs to back this up:

100 Atk Arcanine Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Gardevoir: 114-135 (79.1 - 93.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
100 Atk Arcanine Iron Head vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Gardevoir: 102-122 (70.8 - 84.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

100 Atk Arcanine Flare Blitz vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Sylveon: 114-135 (56.7 - 67.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
100 Atk Arcanine Iron Head vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Sylveon: 102-122 (50.7 - 60.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

100 Atk Arcanine Flare Blitz vs. 236 HP / 196+ Def Togekiss: 64-76 (33.6 - 40%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery
100 Atk Arcanine Iron Head vs. 236 HP / 196+ Def Togekiss: 56-68 (29.4 - 35.7%) -- 93.6% chance to 4HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery

100 Atk Arcanine Flare Blitz vs. 196 HP / 20 Def Azumarill: 47-56 (23.5 - 28%) -- possible 5HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery
100 Atk Arcanine Iron Head vs. 196 HP / 20 Def Azumarill: 42-50 (21 - 25%) -- possible 5HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery

When you take that move away, this build seems like a more physically defensive version of Eckley's disruptor build, but far less specific to the relevant threats in the VGC tier.

Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but there's already a much better build write up

No way, not harsh at all. I actually thank you for taking the time out to do that for me.
I will definitely take this in to account on future posts that I make. This is my first time. so any input is relevant and appreciated!
