Newly Obtainable Moves - Scorching Sands

Volcanion got a new toy this Generation. With the additon of Heavy Duty Boots, which allows Volcanion to not be worn down by chip from any hazards. Its speed tier is alright, for outspeeding all defensive Pokemon, and some offensive like Magnezone, Aegislash and Magearna. Its good movepool can shine a lot more as it can be alive for a lot longer.

Subsitute
Volcanion @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Subsitute
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Steam Eruption

Subsitute lets Volcanion have a method to be able to 1v1 opposing Pokemon like Toxapex, being able to Subsitute on any attack is throws out whilst being able to 2hko a Physical Defensive Toxapex with Earth Power. With letfovers your able to recover health behind i Subsitute, making it easier to click subsitute more and more, though dropping Heavy Duty Boots makes you vulnerable to hazards.

Volcanion @ Choice Specs

- Toxic
- Steam Eruption
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power

Nothing really wasnt to switch into this in rain that isnt mantine, which you have Toxic for to cripple it down. Its one downside its Stealth Rocks, Volcanion dosent have any Recovery nor any hazard immunity, which could cause problems in the late game. Though it hits incredibly hard with Steam Eruption in rain, being able to 2HKO Blissey and 2HKO Physical Toxapex with Stealth Rocks.

Although it is a lot less powerful/viable without the Grassium-Z, the Sunny Day + Solar Beam set makes sense to get past some bulky Waters not neutral to Grass.

===> In my opinion Volcarona isn't bad, but it isn't great either because Heatran is generally better.
