Strategy Overview

Water

Volcanion is a solid option for Water teams thanks to its unique typing and outstanding offenses. What it lacks in utility, it makes up for in sheer power if given the right opportunities to wallbreak, easily dismantling common defensive cores on Steel and Flying. However, Water has no shortage of great special wallbreakers like Walking Wake, Keldeo, and Choice Specs Greninja, which are all faster and easier to get onto the field. Volcanion also struggles to break through common Dragon-types like Latios and Raging Bolt while freely letting them make progress.
