NatDex Doubles TL
Volcanion @ Assault Vest
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Atk / 176 SpA / 40 SpD
Quiet Nature
- Steam Eruption
- Heat Wave
- Earth Power
- Heavy Slam
Volcanion brings the heat to Doubles OU! With Water Absorb and a unique typing that's strong both offensively and defensively, Volcanion matches up well against key threats such as Flutter Mane and Palafin-H while also preying on Fire / Water / Grass cores that lack options to heavily damage it. Assault Vest and HP investment amplify Volcanion's already excellent bulk. Steam Eruption can be used to burn physical attackers that would otherwise threaten Volcanion, such as Iron Hands. Heat Wave hits Rillaboom and Kingambit for significant damage. Earth Power hits the aforementioned Iron Hands and is the only way to hit opposing Volcanion super effectively. Heavy Slam rounds out the moveset, cleanly KOing uninvested Flutter Mane with a solid chance to do the same to Diancie. Tera Fairy is chosen to improve Volcanion's matchup into Kingambit and Chi-Yu and helps minimize its weaknesses.
