- Overheat
- Steam Eruption
- Rest
- Defog
Volcanion is an interesting zacian check, capable of switching into behemoth blade, then living a wild charge, and ohkoing back with Overheat. Volcanion is also capable of serving as a status absorber using rest, and supporting its team with defog.
calcs
As the above calcs show, Volcanion is easily capable of beating Zacian in the 1v1, and also of switching into to behemoth blade, which is quite impressive, as not even Ho-oh can live behemoth into wild charge. In addition, Steam Eruption allows Volcanion to threaten burns, making it relatively difficult to switch into.
e: swapped fblast to overheat
This still works fine because HDB means no boosted assurance damage so this still checks zacian.
