Battle notes

- Avoid relying on common Fire, Ice, Steel attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Volcanion resists or ignores those matchups.
- This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
