PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Fire Attacker:
Incinerate
Overheat - Water Attacker:
Water Gun
Hydro Pump
Volcanion possesses a unique Fire/Water typing and is among the viable Mythicals in Pokémon GO PvE. High offensive and defensive stats as well as a functional moveset make it a meta relevant addition to your collection, although it is outclassed by a good number of Pokémon, making it an inferior choice overall.
⚔️ Raids
Volcanion offers higher DPS as a Fire type than a Water type, although it's decent in both departments.
🔥 As a Fire type, its damage output is below Blacephalon, Reshiram, Heatran, Moltres, Blast Burn starters, Chandelure, Volcarona, and Darmanitan (not considering Megas and Shadows).
🌊 As a Water type, its damage output is below Kyogre, Hydro Cannon starters, Kingler, Crawdaunt, and Sharpedo (not considering Megas and Shadows).
However, Volcanion does have a high TDO to its credit. On the flip side, maxing out a Mythical is a tedious challenge in comparison to the Blast Burn and Hydro Cannon users, where Candy farming is a breeze on their Community Day.
As such, with Volcanion trailing behind cheaper and more accessible options (in terms of Candy) in power, it seems unjustified to spend your resources on Volcanion at the moment.
That said, Volcanion has a signature Water-type move called Steam Eruption. If tuned well in stats (like done for Heatran), it could propel Volcanion to a higher pecking order in the Water-type meta. ♨️

Earth Power
Volcanion’s Fire/Water typing is a blessing for the Mythical. It's a great defensive combo as Fire and Water have excellent synergy: Fire takes out Water’s weakness to Grass and Water takes out Fire’s weakness to Water.
This leaves only Electric, Ground, and Rock as weaknesses but Volcanion learns Earth Power in Pokémon GO, accounting for ALL its weaknesses! 🤩
That's not all as Volcanion heavily resists Fire, Ice, and Steel type damage while also resisting Bug and Fairy. No points for guessing but all except Bug are prominent types in the Master League, where Volcanion should ideally be used based on its high stats. With that being said, here's how it performs in the Master League:
🟣 Master League
Volcanion breaks into the big, bad Master League with a dominant showing, flexing the defensive prowess of its Fire/Water typing.
Volcanion beats numerous threats in this format, including White Kyurem, Metagross, Togekiss, Xerneas, Charm Primarina (loses to the Waterfall variant), Mewtwo, Mamoswine, Dusk Mane Necrozma, Excadrill, Enamorus Incarnate, Yveltal, Dialga regular and Origin, Melmetal, and even Zacian Crowned Sword and Zamazenta Crowned Shield! 👀
Without shields, it beats Urshifu Single Strike Style but loses Dialga Origin, Yveltal, and Excadrill.
So it's best to use Volcanion as a lead in battle. This battling position also suits Incinerate the best. 🔥
You can run Sludge Bomb instead of Earth Power, helping Volcanion gain both Waterfall and Charm Primarina in its list of wins. The performance is pretty similar in unshielded faceoffs.
💎 The best PvP moveset for Volcanion is Incinerate, Overheat and Earth Power/Sludge Bomb.
