Volcarona has a rather low Base 85 HP and 65 Defense stats making it vulnerable to powerful physical attackers from the likes of Mega Salamence or Charizard Y.ĭespite these flaws, do not underestimate any Volcarona at all, for one free setup and it will rain its fiery scales against the foe.ĮVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 12 SpA / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Not everything is fine for Volcarona as Rock Slide and other Rock-/Water-/Flying- types can dispatch the fire moth quickly. Once the main threats are gone, Volcarona can setup against the most special attackers like Sylveon and Aegislash for an end game sweep. Flame Body still has its use as it has a 51% chance to burn Mega Kangakhan if it contacts with Volcarona, while a regular 30% chance for other single target contact hits. The best part of an offensive Volcarona is it can further boost these three stats with a Quiver Dance boost making it a threatening special sweeper.
Volcarona's special offensive stats 135 Special Attack, 105 Special Defense, and 100 Speed Volcarona is no laughing matter as it has the highest Special Attack for a part Bug-type and fast enough to potentially speed tie with Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Gardevoir, Mega Charizard Y, etc. What makes Volcarona a viable Pokemon is due to its flexibility how well it can run either a defensive support set like Rage Powder redirection, Tailwind for speed control, or a setup Quiver Dance set for an offensive role. With its part Bug/Fire coverage, Volcarona inflicts super effective STAB damage against the likes of Mega Metagross, Mega Mawile, Gothitelle, Ferrothorn, Excadrill, Tyranitar (though not it + Sand Rush Excadrill!), Bisharp, and a host of other popular Pokemon. Despite the small drop in usage, Volcarona is still a dangerous Bug/Fire type Pokemon to contend against with access to other viable moves like Tailwind/Rage Powder, and being one of the few Pokemon who can handle Cresselia, Amoonguss and Aegislash. In fact, its because these two Pokemon, not Volcarona itself who gave rise to Rock Slide users like Terrakion and Landorus-T, who both can beat Volcarona in these situations as well. The transition between Gen 5 to Gen 6 hasn't been too kind to Volcarona with the lose of the Gems and the power creep with things like Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Charizard Y existing. Prior to the VGC 2015 format when Volcarona was allowed in 2013, it was among the most dominant Pokemon in the metagame being able to sweep entire teams with a +1 Heat Waves sometimes boosted with Fire Gem (or Bug Gem). Pokémon © Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, GAME FREAK, Creatures Inc.Since its introduction in Generation 5, Volcarona has be seen as one of the most powerful special attackers in the game with access to a strong special offensive stats of 135 SpA / 105 SpD / 100 Spe and a method to raise all three at once with Quiver Dance. Upon completion of the dance, the user's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed will all have risen. The user performs an intricate dance that calls on the power of the hive mind to lend it strength.
