Iron Tail is a move often used by Pikachu in the Pokemon anime series. It is a very notable and very popular move to use. Iron Tail has 100 Power, but it only comes with 75% Accuracy. The move itself does solid damage to the opponent. Also, it has a 30% chance of lowering the target's Defense by one stage. It has been a top tier Steel-type move since Generation II.

#4 - Steel Roller

Steel Roller was introduced in the most recent Generation. There are a ton of Pokemon that can learn it. It has 130 Power and 100% Accuracy. The catch is that Steel Roller only works if there is active terrain. If there is, the move connects with huge damage and removes any terrain on the field. If no terrain is active, the move will fail. This can be very useful to remove Electric or Psychic terrain, preventing those effects.
