[SET COMMENTS]
Leveraging its good Special Attack stat, STAB combination, and coverage, Volcanion functions as a powerful wallbreaker that can muscle past structures with common defensive pieces such as Gliscor, Ferrothorn, and Toxapex. Thanks to its good typing, ability in Water Absorb, and decent bulk, it finds a few opportunities to switch in on threats like Hisuian Samurott and offensive Gholdengo. However, due to Volcanion's lackluster Speed tier, it is outclassed by faster wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Ogerpon-W. While Fire Blast is the preferred Fire-typee STAB option due to its higher Base Power that allows it to score a guaranteed OHKO on Gholdengo after Stealth Rock, Flamethrower is a more accurate option. Earth Power targets Pokemon that resist Volcanion's STAB moves like Raging Bolt and Toxapex. Taunt prevents passive walls like Alomomola, Slowbro, and Toxapex from damaging Volcanion due to its ability, Water Absorb. The combination of Fire Spin and Taunt can be used to completely remove the aforementioned walls by trapping them. Substitute can be used over Taunt to use Alomomola and Toxapex as fodder, though it has the drawback of making Volcanion more prone to chip damage. Heavy-Duty Boots nullifies Volcanion's glaring weakness to entry hazards. A Timid nature is preferred, as it allows Volcanion to outspeed Gliscor, Gholdengo, and Landorus-T with little to no Speed investment, though a Modest nature allows Volcanion to secure a guaranteed 2HKO on Hisuian Samurott after Stealth Rock.

Volcanion is primarily found on bulky offense teams, where its ability to pressure defensive staples like Gliscor and Toxapex is greatly appreciated by other offensive threats like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. In return, they can revenge kill faster foes that Volcanion struggles against such as Ogerpon-W and Mega Latios. Landorus-T is also an effective teammate, as it can switch into Ground-type attacks from Garchomp and opposing Landorus-T that Volcanion is weak to. Additiona bring Volcanion in using U-Turn, giving it more opportunities to enter the field. Volcanion can also act as an effective partner for Landorus-T, as it can threaten Gliscor and Ferrothorn. Other pivots like Pecharunt and Tapu Koko are also appreciated; Pecharunt can often switch into Mega Lopunny and Zamazenta, while Tapu Koko can revenge kill the likes of Garchomp and Great Tusk. Sturdy defensive backbones like Ferrothorn and Ting-Lu can comfortably switch into Pokemon that can revenge kill Volcanion like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko. Both of them can additionally set entry hazards, enhancing Volcanion's wallbreaking capabilities. As a teammate, Volcanion can offensively threaten Gholdengo and Cinderace, which Ferrothorn struggles against. Fire Spin sets are excellent teammates for offensive staples like Great Tusk and Dragonite that appreciate Volcanion's ability to remove their checks, notably Alomomola and Slowbro. In return, Great Tusk can effectively remove hazards, which Volcanion becomes vulnerable to if damaged by Knock Off.

Volcanion is primarily found on Bulky Offense teams, where its ability to pressurize defensive staples like Gliscor and Ferrothorn is greatly appreciated by other offensive threats like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. These guys kinda clap Ferrothorn, and I dont think Volc likes 1v1ing Gliscor, so I think changing these defensive staples to Gliscor and Pex should make it a bit clearer In return, they can revenge kill faster foes which Volcanion struggles against such as Ogerpon-W and Mega Latios. Landorus-T is also an effective teammate, as it can switch into Ground type attacks from Garchomp and opposing Landorus-T that Volcanion is weak to.
