I unironically love Volcanion, always loved his design and I can't help but have a soft spot for the grouchy types who are actually all soft on the inside. I like a lot of the recent mythicals designs, it's just a shame they don't do too much with them lore wise. Volcanion was obviously meant to have a role in Pokemon Z with the Power Plant (it's literally blowing off steam) but that never came to fruition. I wish they released little side quests where you would then catch the Mythical rather than just giving them to you straight up, just something to develop them further beyond just looking cool.
Do one on Zeraora, it's such a NOTHING Pokémon it's not even funny. And the bit of Volcanion being able to level mountain makes me chuckle as if that's impressive, like remember Tyranitar? The issue I have with these new mythicals is that they really don't have anything that seriously stands them out from your other average pokemon. When you think of mythical pokemon you think of extraordinary yet obscure beings with unique powers and abilities that many doubt their existence, as if they're... y'know MYTHS. Like a creature that's pretty much an adam and eve, able to learn every technique in the book. A being that's able to time travel or grant you wishes. A being that's said to grant eternal victorious or a rumored 4th member of a long established and well known group of heroes. A fucking Boogeyman or literal GOD. Y'know, unique attributes to mythologize about. Now you have someone like Zeraora, whom does NONE of this whatsoever, there's nothing to mythologize about nor has anything that sets it apart from any other electric type. Not to say that they're always a stinker, like Hoopa as a pokemon with unique extraordinary powers and abilities, he does that mythologize role pretty well imo. But overall it's so fucking lame nowadays.

Another part of volcanoions character is that he is a very protective and grumpy boi with a rough exterior but is truly a softy at heart
I consider it a liger. Lion and tiger. Two 👑s fused. Like water and fire.
One good thing about Volcanion, it still gets scald in SV 😂
Whenever I saw Eternal Flower Floette while playing through Y, all I could think of is how I wanted one
The fact that scald got turned into volcanions signature move when it already has steam eruption is just annoying
Just imagine this guy as a 3 stage sudo legend. Would have been so much better
disgruntled about uninspiring mythical pokemon gang assemble
hopefully legends za helps volcanion a little
Definitely 😟
The type combination seems disappointing, ☹️

rip Volcanion, if only you were in a better movie, but they had been going downhill since Genesect 🥲
