Volcanion @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Steam Eruption
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave
Choice Specs Volcanion is a menacing wallbreaker on rain teams, as its STAB Steam Eruption gains the ability to 2HKO even the sturdiest special walls in Blissey and Galarian Slowking. Flamethrower hits Ferrothorn and Sludge Wave threatens Tapu Fini, which is otherwise one of Volcanion's best switch-ins, while Earth Power is able to hit Toxapex. Alongside Choice Specs, a Modest nature is chosen to achieve the full power of its attacks. Barraskewda makes a good partner for Volcanion, since it can pivot out of Tapu Bulu and Ferrothorn. Both are also able to pressure their shared checks in Dragonite and Toxapex. Pelipper is a great partner, as it sets rain for Volcanion, can Defog hazards away for it, and can generate momentum for it with U-turn. Ferrothorn is a great teammate as well, since it's able to set hazards and check Tapu Koko for Volcanion.
