[OVERVIEW]
Volcanion is a slot that benefits from the ability to exert a lot of pressure with its Fire and Water Type together with its Water Water Absorb . It becomes a good Tapu Fini Check without having performed two calm Mind . , however its Special defense is its weak point but compensated with its HP it can withstand 2hko of the Metagame Threats like Lando/zygarde/Zapdos/Close Combat - Urshifu rapid Striker/ wood Hammer - Rillaboom/ Diamond Storm Diancie. This gives him a way to counterattack with Steam or Heat Wave accompanied by a good Special Attack. His coverage is wide with Steam and Heat Wave to put pressure on Incineroar/ Rillaboom/ Diancie which are very monstrous and can be annoying in the Late Game where Volcanion tends to be more comfortable.

Other Options
=============
Safety Googles is an option to take when the Team is weakened by the Spore making it strong against the redirection of Rage Power, Shuca Berry is an option to be able to counterattack Zygarde/Landorus-Therian/earth Power Heatran. If you are looking for fast recovery you can go for sitrus berry in case your team can't fight against the Electric Type, the Wacan Berry will help only if it's necessary to cover it.
