[SET COMMENTS]
Volcanion has earned its niche through its dual STAB combination naturally staving off prominent threats Genesect, Rillaboom, and Victini. Steam Eruption is Volcanion's most consistent STAB move, hitting metagame staples like Incineroar and Landorus super effectively, as well as threatening other physical attackers like Dracovish and Galarian Zapdos with a burn. Heat Wave allows Volcanion to hit Pokemon that resist Steam Eruption such as Ferrothron and Kyurem-B while also KOing common threats such as Genesect and non-Assault Vest Rillaboom. Earth Power can be used to OHKO Naganadel and hit Dracovish and opposing Volcanion harder. Overheat ensures maximum damage output against Pokemon such as Kyurem-B and Wide Guard Celesteela in exchange for being a single target move. Sludge Bomb hits Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele, and Togekiss super effectively, while the poison chance helps break Dracovish. Sitrus Berry maintains Volcanion's longevity., while Wacan Berry is an option to surprise unsuspecting Regieleki and Zeraora and OHKO them. Life Orb can be used if the aforementioned checks are covered to maximize damage.

Volcanion's great typing and bulk means that it has few consistent checks outside of Regieleki and Kyurem-B. To patch up these weaknesses, Volcanion is usually paired with Tsareena, Diancie, or Naganadel to eliminate Electric- and Dragon-types. Fake Out pressure from Incineroar or Rillaboom helps cover for Volcanion's low Speed. Zygarde is also an excellent teammate, as it checks Regieleki, Zeraora, and Tyranitar for Volcanion, which in return beats bulky Grass- and Ground-types that hinder Zygarde. Metagross also checks those same Pokemon, while threatening Dragon-types Latios, Regidrago, and Kyurem-B. Tailwind support from Talonflame can beat Nihilego and Landorus which are OHKOed by Steam Eruption. Redirection from Amoonguss enables Volcanion to beat Electric-types and Thunderbolt Genesect.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

An alternate EV spread of 112 HP / 252 SpA / 144 Spe with a Modest nature can be used to outrun Zeraora in Tailwind, with the rest of EVs placed into HP to maintain maximum bulk. Volcanion can also have a Quiet Nature and 0 Speed IVs to be as fast as possible in Trick Room. Shuca Berry can be used to dampen Earth Power from Landorus or Thousand Arrows from Zygarde, but is usually not as useful as Wacan Berry.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Specially Defensive Walls**: Volcanion struggles to make progress against Porygon2 and Calm Mind Tapu Fini. Porygon2 can also Trace Water Absorb and set up Trick Room for a partner. Assault Vest Kyurem-B takes little damage from Heat Wave and can 2HKO Volcanion with either Bolt Strike or Earth Power. Cresselia can sponge Volcanion's hits and set up with Calm Mind or Trick Room and whittle it down.

**Faster Pokemon**: Volcanion's average Speed means that it is threatened by a plethora of offensive threats such as both Landorus formes, Zygarde, Nihilego, and Zeraora. However, they can still be outspeed and KOed with proper speed control.

**Dragon-types**: Naganadel, Latios, Regidrago, and Kyurem-B each resist Volcanion's STAB attacks; they each hit it hard in return with their respective STAB moves.

Volcanion has earned its niche through its dual STAB combination of Fire- and Water-type having little to no few answers outside of opposing Volcanion, naturally staving off prominent threats Genesect, Rillaboom, and Heatran. Steam Eruption is Volcanion's greatest stab most consistent STAB move, neutralising hitting Fire- and Ground-types Landorus and Incinaroar Incineroar super effectively whilst having burn chance against Dracovish or Galarian Zapdos. Heatwave as a spread move allows Volcanion to hit Pokemon that resist Steam Eruption, and can KO multiple Pokemon. Substitute can be used to capitalise on Genesect lacking Thunderbolt, Whimsicott, and Amoonguss; this makes Volcanion a nuisance to break as Substitute blocks Spore attempts from the prior mentioned. Leftovers allows this set to become more reliable due to passive recovery restoring health from Substitute. Earth Power can be used if Safety Goggles are used due to it evading Spore attempts and Rage Powder redirection, freeing a moveslot for coverage against opposing Volcanion, Zeraora, and Dracovish. Safety goggles are not good, Amoonguss is not common enough to warrant it at all. Mention

Volcanion's great typing and bulk means that it has few consistent checks name them. To patch potential weaknesses, Volcanion is usually ran with Tsareena, Regieleki, or Naganadel to eliminate soft checks Kyurem-B, Tapu Fini, and Fake Out pressure from Incinaroar or Rillaboom. Zygarde is also an excellent teammate as it checks Regieleki, Zeraora, and Tyranitar for Volcanion which in return beats bulky Grass- and Ground-types that hinder Zygarde. Tailwind support from Whimsicott or Tornadus can be great in tackling Nihilego and Landorus which are OHKOed by Steam Eruption. Redirection from Amoonguss can enable Volcanion to beat Electric-type checks and Thunderbolt Genesect variants; additionally giving it Substitute setup opportunities.

Sludge Bomb can do consistent damage against Tapu Fini however Volcanion rarely has the room for it. Shuca Berry can be used to dampen Earth Power from Landorus or Thousand Arrows from Zygarde, but is only situational compared to Leftovers or Safety Goggles. Safety Goggles is the most situational thing ever. If you want to bring it up at all, bring it up here.

Volcanion has earned its niche through its dual STAB combination of Fire- and Water-type having few answers outside of opposing Volcanion, this isn't entirely true, felt awkward to mention the mirror in the first sentence naturally staving off prominent threats Genesect, Rillaboom, and Heatran. Steam Eruption is Volcanion's most consistent STAB move, hitting Fire- and Ground-types Landorus and Incineroar swap the order to be the same as the types mentioned super effectively whilst having burn chance against Dracovish or Galarian Zapdos. Heat wWave as a spread move mention that it is a spread move separately allows Volcanion to hit Pokemon that resist Steam Eruption, and can KO multiple Pokemon such as Genesect and Whismicott mention something that is not banned :p. Earth Power can be used to hit opposing Volcanion, Nihilego, and Naganadel mention that it OHKOes naga but not the others, you mention steam eruption being better into nihi later, so idt it should be here super effectively whilst hitting Dracovish for neutral coverage. Fire Blast can ensures maximum damage output in exchange for being a single target move, unlike Heat wWave. Sludge Bomb can be used for hitting Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele, and Togekiss super effectively in addition to a poison chance which helps break the aforementioned this sentence has the right information, but is awkardly written. Sitrus Berry maintains Volcanions longevity so that it can remain a threat for as long as possible. Wacan Berry allows it to surprise unsuspecting Regieleki and Zeraora, specifically OHKOing Regieleki maybe mention Overheat, since that has good chances to OHKO zera after lorb recoil. Life Orb can be used if the aforementioned checks are covered to maximise check spellings damage. mention protect somewhere

Volcanion's great typing and bulk means that it has few consistent checks such as Regieleki and Kyurem-B. To patch potential these weaknesses, Volcanion is usually ran with Tsareena, Regieleki, or Naganadel to eliminate the aforementioned of those examples, only naga helps versus (non-AV / Haban) kyub, regieleki can be mentioned elsewhere since it doesn't help much vs either. I recommend adding an example that is stronger into kyub over eleki, Tapu Fini why?, and Fake Out pressure from Incinaroar check spelling or Rillaboom. Zygarde is also an excellent teammate as it checks Regieleki, Zeraora, and Tyranitar for Volcanion which in return beats bulky Grass- and Ground-types that hinder Zygarde. Tailwind support from Whimsicott or Tornadus rip, ig baby cott/tflame go here can be great in tackling Nihilego and Landorus which are OHKOed by Steam Eruption. Redirection from Amoonguss can enables Volcanion to beat Electric-type checks and Thunderbolt Genesect variants.

Volcanion has earned its niche through its dual STAB combination naturally staving off prominent threats Genesect, Rillaboom, and Heatran. This sentence is not necessary, it would go in an overview if that was in the format Steam Eruption is Volcanion's most consistent STAB move, hitting Fire- and Ground-types like Incineroar and Landorus super effectively. It also has a burn chance against the likes of Dracovish or and Galarian Zapdos. Heat Wave allows Volcanion to hit Pokemon that resist Steam Eruption example?, and can KO multiple Pokemon such as Genesect and Rillaboom. add protect Earth Power can be used to OHKO Naganadel and while hitting Dracovish and opposing Volcanion harder. super effectively whilst hitting Dracovish for neutral coverage. Fire Blast Overheat ensures maximum damage output in exchange for being a single target move, unlike Heat Wave add an example. Sludge Bomb can hits Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele, and Togekiss super effectively, while the poison chance helps break Togekiss the aforementioned. Sitrus Berry maintains Volcanion'()s longevity so that it can remain a threat for as long as possible. Wacan Berry allows it to surprise unsuspecting Regieleki and Zeraora and OHKO each of them, Zeraora specifically with Overheat ik I told you to add this, but omitting which move to OHKO them with is cleaner . Life Orb can be used if the aforementioned checks are covered to maximise damage.

Volcanion's great typing and bulk means that it has few consistent checks such as Regieleki and Kyurem-B. To patch these weaknesses, Volcanion is usually paired with Tsareena, Diancie, or Naganadel to eliminate the aforementioned Electric- and Dragon-types., as well as Fake Out pressure from Incineroar or Rillaboom compensate for Volcanion's low Speed.

Tailwind support from Cottonee or Talonflame can be great in tackling phrasing is off Nihilego and Landorus which are OHKOed by Steam Eruption. Redirection from Amoonguss enables Volcanion to beat Electric-types and Thunderbolt Genesect.

It would be nice to have an "overview sentence" of what Volc usually does. "Volcanion is a bulky attacker with a good combination of power, longevity, and coverage" or something like that Steam Eruption is Volcanion's most consistent STAB move, hitting Fire- and Ground-types like metagame staples like Incineroar and Landorus super effectively. It also has a burn chance against the likes of effectively, as well as threatening other physical attackers like Dracovish and Galarian Zapdos with a burn. Heat Wave allows Volcanion to hit Pokemon that resist Steam Eruption such as Ferrothron and Kyurem-B, (comma) while it can KO multiple Pokemon also KOing common threats such as Genesect and non-Assault Vest Rillaboom. Earth Power can be used to OHKO Naganadel and hit Dracovish and opposing Volcanion harder. Overheat ensures maximum damage output against Pokemon such as Kyurem-B and Wide Guard Celesteela in exchange for being a single target move for Pokemon such as Kyurem-B and Wide Guard Celesteela. Sludge Bomb hits Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele, and Togekiss super effectively, while the poison chance helps break Togekiss did you mean to say Togekiss twice?. Sitrus Berry maintains Volcanion's longevity., while Wacan Berry allows it is an option to surprise unsuspecting Regieleki and Zeraora and OHKO each of them. Life Orb can be used if the aforementioned checks are covered to maximise maximize damage.

Volcanion's great typing and bulk means that it has few consistent checks outside of Regieleki and Kyurem-B. To patch up these weaknesses, Volcanion is usually paired with Tsareena, Diancie, or Naganadel to eliminate Electric- and Dragon-types. Fake Out pressure from Incineroar or Rillaboom compensate for Volcanion's low Speed helps cover for Volcanion's low Speed. Zygarde is also an excellent teammate, (comma) as it checks Regieleki, Zeraora, and Tyranitar for Volcanion, which in return beats bulky Grass- and Ground-types that hinder Zygarde. Metagross too does this also checks those same Pokemon, while threatening Dragon-types Latios, Regidrago, and Kyurem-B. Tailwind support from Cottonee or banned now Talonflame can beat Nihilego and Landorus which are OHKOed by Steam Eruption. Redirection from Amoonguss enables Volcanion to beat Electric-types and Thunderbolt Genesect.
