[SET]
name: Choice Specs
move 1: Overheat
move 2: Steam Eruption
move 3: Sludge Wave
move 4: Hyper Beam / Earth Power
item: Choice Specs
ability: Water Absorb
nature: Modest
evs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 64 SpA / 96 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Volcanion carves a niche in 1v1 for being able to cover most Fire-, Water-, and Grass-types as well as Fairy types such as Primarina, Sylveon, and Tapu Fini. Sludge Wave is used for the aforementioned Fairy-types. Hyper Beam is used for a Naganadel with no special defense investment and non-Endure Haxorus, while Earth Power OHKOs a Naganadel with special defense investment and wins against an opposing Volcanion.

EVs
=============
The 96 Defense EVs along with 252 HP live a Life Orb Rillaboom Fake Out and Wood Hammer after Grassy Terrain recovery, and the 96 SpD EVs live a Draco Meteor from a Choice Specs Naganadel without a SpA-boosting nature. The rest is dumped in Special Attack.

Usage Tips
=============
Choice Specs Volcanion is fairly straightforward - if both Volcanion's STABs are neutral, against the opponent Overheat is almost always recommended, unless the opposing Pokemon has a way to stall you out. As mentioned before, Sludge Wave is used against Fairy-types.

[SET]
name: Sitrus Wisp
move 1: Overheat
move 2: Steam Eruption
move 3: Sludge Wave
move 4: Will-O-Wisp
item: Sitrus Berry
ability: Water Absorb
nature: Modest
evs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 64 SpA / 96 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Sitrus Wisp Volcanion doesn't hit as hard as Choice Specs, but it gains matchups against some physical attackers, most notably Aggron, Sawk, and Avalugg. Sitrus Berry ensures the matchup against Choice Band Sawk and Assault Vest Urshifu.

EVs
=============
The 96 Defense EVs along with 252 HP live a Life Orb Rillaboom Fake Out and Wood Hammer, and the 96 Spe EVs outspeed Aggron lacking an Spe-boosting nature.

Usage Tips
=============
To ensure the matchup against Urshifu, first use Will-O-Wisp to make sure it won't 2HKO you, then use Steam Eruption, then Overheat to maximize damage output. However, if the damage reveals Urshifu to be Choice Band, click Overheat immediately after Will-O-Wisp. Using Will-O-Wisp into Overheat will KO uninvested Sawk. Against Aggron, Will-O-Wisp into Steam Eruption will ensure a win against any set that doesn't have a +Spe nature. Against Avalugg, Will-O-Wisp turn one to make sure they do not OHKO you by using Mirror Coat on a special attack.


[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Other options for Volcanion may include Wacan Berry, Custap Berry, and Choice Scarf. Wacan Berry Volcanion can beat Zeraora and Choice Specs Genesect with Thunderbolt, but it still is OHKOd by a Thunder from Choice Specs Regieleki, so it isn't seen much. Custap Berry Volcanion is mainly used to beat non-Protect Landorus-Therian, a Choice Specs Necrozma using Prismatic Laser, Aggron, and Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan. It also wins against Regieleki clicking Thunder to ensure a win against Wacan Berry. A Choice Scarf Earthquake from Volcanion OHKOs Nihilego, and the extra speed wins a few other matchups, including Choice Specs Genesect, Choice Band Landorus, Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan, and Venusaur. A potential EV spread for this set would be 124 Def / 192 SpA / 192 Spe to outspeed Nihilego and live a Choice Band High Jump Kick from Pheromosa. Another niche option would be to use Fling on Choice Specs Volcanion to avoid a Mirror Coat from Avalugg.

EVs
=============
The physical EVs are unchanged from the Choice Specs set, but do not assume the other analysis was read the 96 Spe EVs outspeed Aggron with 252 Spe EVs lacking a Spe-boosting nature.

Usage Tips
=============
To ensure the matchup against Urshifu, first use Will-O-Wisp to make sure it won't 2HKO you, then use Steam Eruption, then Overheat to maximize damage output. choice band urshifu will 3hko, overheat must be used t2 if the damage reveals urshifu to be banded Using Will-O-Wisp into Overheat should be enough to kill Sawk will KO uninvested Sawk. Against Aggron, Will-O-Wisp into Steam Eruption will ensure a win against any set that doesn't have 252 Spe EVs and technically don't need this many evs with a +spe nature to win, just leave this out a +Spe nature. Against Avalugg, Will-O-Wisp turn one to make sure they do not OHKO you by using Mirror Coat on a special attack.

Also, scarf runs a non-trivial EV spread, I'd recommend 124 Def / 192 SpA / 192 Spe to outspeed nihilego and survive any hit from Pheromosa, or even 180 Def / 136 SpA / 192 Spe for scarf Gdarm). Another niche option would be to use Fling on Choice Specs Volcanion to avoid a Mirror Coat from Avalugg.

Another niche option would be to use run (run is a clearer verb here imo)Fling on Choice Specs Volcanion to avoid a Mirror Coat from Avalugg.
