Vikavolt can set up Sticky Web early-game to slow down opposing Pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Gengar and Dugtrio to allow hard-hitting teammates like Dracozolt to outspeed as many Pokemon as possible, such as non-Choice Scarf Gengar and Dugtrio. Volt Switch is used to generate momentum for the team, and the slow switch allows teammates such as Dracozolt and Toxtricity to come in safely without getting damaged. Bug Buzz deals damage to Psychic-type Pokemon such as Indeedee. Energy Ball handles Ground-type Pokemon that Electric teams struggle against, such as Hippowdon and Seismitoad. Levitate provides a Ground-type immunity to the team. Expert Belt allows Vikavolt to use its coverage moves without being chipped. Heavy-Duty Boots can be used as an alternative item that removes Vikavolt's Stealth Rock weakness and allows it to switch in safely. A bulky spread with Special Attack investment and a Modest nature is used, (AC) since Vikavolt's Speed tier is not sufficient to outpace any important Pokemon.

With its Ground-type immunity, Vikavolt makes a good partner for most Electric-type Pokemon. Heavy hitters such as Dracozolt and Toxtricity benefit greatly from Sticky Web, as Choice Scarf Dracozolt can outspeed other common Choice Scarf users such as Galarian Darmanitan, Dracovish, and Excadrill, and they can both outspeed other fast Pokemon such as Gengar, Dugtrio, and Weavile. Morpeko makes a good partner, as it can remove entry hazards with Rapid Spin, thus preventing potential Stealth Rock damage on Vikavolt. Rotom-W is another decent partner that can take Fire-type attacks for Vikavolt. In return, Vikavolt can pivot into Grass-type attacks. Rotom-W also forms a good Ground-type immunity core with Vikavolt.

- Add Heavy Duty Boots after Expert Belt as the item.

Vikavolt is a handful Sticky Web user for Electric-type teams.
- Delete this sentence. It doesn't say anything the one the one that follows up doesn't.

With Sticky Webs, Vikavolt can slow down opposing Pokemon for its team to have a better offensive presence.
- Can you go into detail about how it allows its team to have a better offensive presence? This is too vague right now I feel.

With its Ground-type immunity, Vikavolt makes a good partner to most Electric-type Pokemon. Heavy hitters such as Dracozolt and Toxtricity benefits greatly from Sticky Web as they can outspeed common Choice Scarf users such as Dracovish and other fast Pokemon such as Dugtrio and Weavile.
- I don't like Dracovish as an example here, you don't outspeed it with Dracozolt and Toxricity since you only tie.

- I'd like to see a usage tip about trying to get Sticky Web up early for your teammates to take advantage of them as soon as possible.

Did. Kept Dracovish cuz Dracozolt runs scarf so under webs you always outspeed, but made it clearer that Tox doesn't outspeed it.

"thus preventing the potential Stealth Rock damage on Vikavolt"
-Considering that Heavy-Duty Boots is now a slashed item on Vikavolt, it feels necessary to add this here.
-Also mention that Rotom-W helps to alleviate Vikavolt from switching into most Ground-type attacks.
