Vikavolt is an effective wallbreaker, pivot, and Sticky Web setter because of its unique typing and monstrous Special Attack. Energy Ball hits foes like Lanturn and Regirock especially hard; if Vikavolt is using a Modest nature, it consistently 2HKOes Regirock. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Vikavolt to function as a bulky slow pivot more reliably. A Bold nature with full Defense investment can be used to let Vikavolt better take attacks from foes like Floatzel, Passimian, and Virizion; alternatively, a Modest nature with full Special Attack investment can maximize its damage output at the cost of taking on opposing leads less effectively. Tera Steel is used to provide a resistance to Psychic, which helps it take on Mesprit after it Terastallizes, and flip its weakness to Rock into a resistance, taking Rock Blast and Stone Edge from foes like Hisuian Avalugg, Regirock, and Virizion more comfortably.

Vikavolt, despite being a Sticky Web setter, is a good fit for bulky offense and offensive structures alike. With its good natural bulk and massive power even without EV investment, Vikavolt can reliably come in and pivot a few times each game, using its wallbreaking proficiency to lure in foes like Porygon2 and Snorlax for teammates like Passimian and Hisuian Sneasel. Similarly, setup sweepers like Poliwrath, Mesprit, and Qwilfish can overcome their relative slowness with Sticky Web support, threatening to clean late-game after one boost. Stealth Rock setters like Hisuian Avalugg and Regirock pair well with Vikavolt, with the former taking on foes like Sneasel reliably and the latter taking on Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion. Vikavolt is a notable VoltTurn partner for Floatzel and Passimian, as they can lure in Arboliva and Mesprit for it, while it can provide entry points for them against foes like Cryogonal and Snorlax. Defog deterrents, like Braviary, Malamar, and Passimian, make for excellent teammates, leveraging the Sticky Web set by Vikavolt to become devastating wallbreakers if positioned well. Knock Off users that can aid further in this endeavor, like Passimian, Sneasel, and Grafaiai, also help soften up Vikavolt checks such as Porygon2 and Snorlax.

Vikavolt is an effective wallbreaker, pivot, and Sticky Web setter because of its unique typing and monstrous Special Attack. Energy Ball is a notable coverage move, hitting foes like Lanturn and Regirock especially hard. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Vikavolt to function as a bulky slow pivot more reliably throughout a game. A Bold Nature with full Defense investment can be used to better take attacks from foes like Floatzel, Passimian, and Virizion; alternatively, a Modest nature with full Special Attack investment can break down walls like Porygon2 and Snorlax. Tera Steel is used to flip its weakness to Rock into a resistance, taking Rock Blast and Stone Edge from foes like Hisuian Avalugg, Regirock, and Virizion more comfortably. Considering both regi and viriz have fighting coverage, perhaps mention something else, like mabye being far more comfortable hard switching into mesprit

Vikavolt, despite being a Sticky Web setter, is a good fit for bulky offense and offensive structures alike. With its good natural bulk and massive power even without investment, Vikavolt can reliably come in and pivot a few times each game, using its wallbreaking proficiency to lure in and pivot on foes like Porygon2 and Snorlax for teammates like Passimian and Hisuian Sneasel. Similarly, setup sweepers like Mesprit and Qwilfish can overcome their relative slowness with Sticky Web support, threatening to clean late-game after one Nasty Plot or Swords Dance, respectively. Virizion is another welcome teammate, with the coverage to lure in and nail Charizard in Stone Edge considering almost all virizion run stedge, idt anyone is switching zard in/staying in. Stealth Rock setters like Hisuian Avalugg and Regirock pair well with Vikavolt, with the former taking on foes like Sneasel reliably and the latter taking on Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion. Vikavolt is a notable VoltTurn partner with Floatzel and Passimian, as they can lure in Arboliva and Mesprit for it while it can provide entry points for them against foes like Cryogonal and Snorlax.
Mention how it checks stuff like pass, mowtom and jolt and what teammates appreciate its defensive utility, and add more defensive teammates that can cover its weaknesses, such as dipp to tank knock. Add knock off users as teammates to soften up p2, lax, etc.

Vikavolt is an effective wallbreaker, pivot, and Sticky Web setter because of its unique typing and monstrous Special Attack. Energy Ball is a notable coverage move, hitting foes like Lanturn and Regirock especially hard if running modest, note how Energy Ball consistently 2HKOes Regirock. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Vikavolt to function as a bulky slow pivot more reliably throughout a game. A Bold Nature with full Defense investment can be used to better take attacks from foes like Floatzel, Passimian, and Virizion; alternatively, a Modest nature with full Special Attack investment can break down walls like Porygon2 and Snorlax unless they've already been suffering significant residual damage prior or got a SpD drop, they stomach Vika's attacks pretty consistently. Either replace these examples with other walls or focus on Pokemon Vikavolt is able to now 2HKO/OHKO with the added power Tera Steel is used to provide a resistance to Psychic, which helps it take on Mesprit after it Terastallizes, and flip its weakness to Rock into a resistance, taking Rock Blast and Stone Edge from foes like Hisuian Avalugg, Regirock, and Virizion more comfortably.

Poliwrath is a notable teammate, as Vikavolt can check foes like Jolteon and Rotom-C to enable it to set up for a late-game sweep easier Poliwrath is a solid mon here but I'd probably group it with Mesprit and Qwilfish for similar reasons. Dipplin can help sponge physical attacks and Knock Off attempts from wallbreakers like Floatzel and Passimian while taking advantage of entry hazard chip from other teammates like Mesprit and Sandslash with Dragon Tail phazing Dipplin feels like it would work better with Spikes/hazard stack; Dipplin doesn't synergize as well on offensive builds and I'd probably give a better focus to hazard deterrents like Malamar or Passimian. Knock Off users that can help further in this endeavor, like Passimian, Sneasel, and Grafaiai, also help soften up Vikavolt checks such as Porygon2 and Snorlax.
