Doubles Volcanion

[Smudge]

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.

Volcanion brings the heat to Doubles Overused! With a unique typing that's strong both offensively and defensively, and Water Absorb, it matches up well into key threats such as Flutter Mane and Palafin-H. Assault Vest and significant HP investment amplify Volcanion's already excellent bulk. Steam Eruption is incredibly powerful STAB attack and comes with a considerable chance to significantly hamper physical attackers with a Burn such as Iron Hands that would otherwise threaten it word order is a little jumbled here, "comes with a considerable chance to significantly hamper physical attackers that threaten it such as Iron Hands with a burn". Heat Wave chunks Rillaboom and Kingambit for significant damage. Earth Power hits Electric types that give Volcanion trouble like the aforementioned Iron Hands, and is the only way to hit opposing Volcanion. Heavy Slam rounds out the move set, cleanly knocking out minimally invested Flutter Mane, with a solid chance to do the same on Diancie. Tera Fairy is chosen to significantly improve the Kingambit and Chi-Yu matchup while minimizing weaknesses.

the main thing i think we're missing atm is emphasis that volcanion preys on opposing fwg teams that run minimal ways to put big damage at it, would like to see this worked in if we have the character count over something like the earth power sentence. can come after the flutter and palafin-h remark, talk to me on discord if you need help putting it together

any osdt games where volcanion has gone on a tear recently? showing tour replays in spotlights is encouraged and now would be a perfect time to show it off

we can discuss this on discord but ill go ahead and mark 1/1

theres an overuse of the word significantly in the spotlight. remove "electric types like" from the earth power blurb, it really is just hands and volc. 1/1
