Overview:A little volcano with a fiery spirit, Explocanus is an obvious Special Sweeper, he can also work as a revenge killer since he's very fast.. It's raw power allows it to make sure your opponent thinks 2 or 3 times before he switches in to any of your attacks! He can work as a setup sweeper, a sun sweeper, specs sweeper, scarf sweeper, etc...
If well used, he can be a jewel in your team. As he can reach 319 Speed with 252 EVs and Neutral nature, 350 Speed with positive nature. With scarf he can reach 479 Speed neutral or 526 Speed with Scarf and positive nature. His Sp.Attack is no joke either, as it can reach 592 with Specs. His ability - Shield Dust - neutralizes secondary effects from attacks, like freezing from and Ice Punch/Beam or poisoning from Sludge Bomb/Poison Jab. He doesn't come without drawbacks though, he's weak to Spikes, subjectible to Toxic Spikes and neutral to SR, which can take 12.5% of his HP on entry, lowering a possible Eruption's power.

My full powered specs set
With 319 Speed and 592 Sp.Atk, during the sun, this beast makes dents to the strongest of walls. It can take 50% off a Max HP, Max Def w/ eviolite Chansey with Eruption, meaning your opponent has to think before switching in. He's more then ready to hit the strongest of foes really hard. Solarbeam takes care of Water/Ground types, in case you switch into them and do not want to risk having to 2HKO it with EarthPower. EarthPower eats away anything that resists it's Eruption or Fire Blast. Fire Blast is there to cover Eruption in case you get hit by SR/Spikes. Flamethrower in case you do not want to miss and Fire Blast in case you want the extra power and will risk the lower accuracy.

With his outstanding 526 Speed, not much can outspeed this baby, and with his still impressive 359 Sp.Atk and his good moveset, he can play around most opponents. Flamethrower in case you do not want to miss and Fire Blast in case you want the extra power and will risk the lower accuracy.
