Question

Aka Ulgamoth

Dex: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/volcarona

Comments

Likely tier: Overused

---

I think it will be Underused. Even though Stealth Rock is not a TM it'll still be popular. It's a killer for Urugamosu, just like Charizard.

---

Ho-oh is an Uber.

---

What are you talking about?

---

@The Killer Lucario, I think trachy was making the retort of Ho-oh being Uber despite it's similarly 4x weakness to Stealth Rock, of which Pokemaster was saying would make Volcarona Underused. Just clarifying.

Answer 1

Flamethrower- Flamethrower is also useful for power and reliability.

Bug buzz- Good STAB power

Hidden power [Grass]- Covers water and rock weakness with one move. You can also make it effective against flying types if they give you more trouble.

Quiver Dance/Will o wisp-Seriously. What's the point in making this thing able to learn calm mind when it can learn this? If you don't think it can survive very long, will o wisp can be used to cut defenses, giving it more coverage.

FUN FACT: For some reason, this thing can learn magnet rise.

Comments

LOL. Volcarona uses Magnet Rise? O_o

---

In B2W2, it can learn Giga Drain.

Answer 2

A very interesting Pokemon, seems like it would be legendary in all accounts if it wasn't for that pre-evolution. Easily a very powerful and very dangerous foe. That x4 weakness to Rock doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

Ability: Swarm

EVs: Defense (it is needed to allow it to survive), Sp Attack, Speed

Nature: Bold

Fire Dance/Flamethrower: While not as powerful as Flamethrower, it soon will be with a 50% chance of raising Sp Attack. Flamethrower is there for power. I suggest Flamethrower, but it depends on opinion.

Bug Buzz: Of course this move. It is the most powerful special bug move in the game.

Whirlwind: In case you don't think you can take down the opponent, get rid of them with this.

Quiver Dance: Makes this a force to be reckoned with after only one use.

try heat wave on him more power

---

Heat-wave is not that much more powerful and has lower acc. Fiery-dance is great because it has perfect acc plus a chance to boost S.attack. Even Flamethrower is better than Heat-wave, because of its perfect acc and only 5 less base power.

---

Is butterfly dance quiver dance?

---

Yes, it was the English-translated Japanese name.

Ulgamoth (F) @ Leftovers

Role: Rain Sweeper

Trait: Flame Body

EVs: 252 SAtk / 96 SDef / 160 Spd

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

• Hurricane
• Quiver Dance
• Bug Buzz
• Hidden Power [Water]

---

I love Rain.

Hurricane has 100% Accuracy in the rain, and is great coverage agaisn't annoying fighting types with Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Etc.

Quiver Dance is a must on this Behemoth unless you're going on a choice Route, and Bug Buzz Provides Amazing STAB.

And HP Water gets boosted in the rain.

Second set http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/volcarona

Wth? Why would you waste Volcarona's amazing Fire power with Rain? That's a horrible moveset...honestly dude.

---

volcarona is good in the rain...

Answer 4

Ok this is Currently my fav pokemon, and its one of the best special sweepers (at least for me)

Volcarona @ Focus Sash

Ability : Flame body ( Its good for its low defenses, it may stop physical pokes)

Evs : 252 Sp Attack / 128 Sp Def / 128 Speed

Moveset

• Bug Buzz, this ones a must in this pokemon, it gets STAB, and has great power and accuracy
• Fire Dance, i prefer this over heat wave or flamethrower, because of the chance of getting you special attack up, to make Volcarona even more powerful
• Quiver Dance, Great setup move, ups 3 stats.

And for the final move, heres some suggestions

• Hurricane, Great power, Chance to confuse, just bad accuracy
• Psychic, Nice coverage, and reliable move
• Morning Sun ( egg move ) , good for recovering after some quiver dances
• Hidden Power ( Rock ) I found this to be the most useful, because it deals decent damage to heatrans, and can take those pesky flying dragons
• Hidden Power ( Ice ) You will get dragons now, but no heatran coverage
• Hidden Power ( Fighting ) Coverage against rock

Comments

I like to use Psychic; Considering all the fighting types that can use Stone Edge. Morning Sun is good for healing off Stealth Rock damage on Sun teams.

Answer 5

Choice Scarf Volcarona

Pretty much every Volcarona you have ever seen is a Quiver Dance Volcarona. I'm not about to sit here and tell you that Quiver Dance Volcarona is bad, as it is extremely deadly. However, something very few people will be expecting is a scarfed Volcarona. With a base special attack stat of 135, this moth can pack a punch, even without a Quiver Dance boost, and Fiery Dance can provide a SAtk boost should you use it. Base 100 speed is more than enough to pull off an effective scarf set, and Volcarona has great coverage to go with his stellar stats, as well as the ability to switch in on a slew of moves it resists, and it's quite bulky on the special side. It has the ability to operate in Sun and Rain, and it can operate in Sand although it is not recomended. With Rapid Spin support, the Stealth Rocks that bog Volcarona down can be kept away, allowing Volcarona to switch in and out as often as it wants too.

- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance

Comments

While this set is good, I prefer max HP on Volca to provide enough bulk to set up a Q-Dance. SAtk can always be boosted, especially with Fiery Dance.

---

Ilike to OHKO resisting Pokemon. :3

---

That's cool, also something this beast does well.

Answer 8

this is a really good pokemon. i do not consider it a legendary, so i have no problem using it in my team

ability: flame body

moves:

psychic---helps with more coverage, without it you could have trouble against rock

bug buzz---STAB

fiery dance---great move and has 50% of powering up the rest of your moves

hurricane---more coverage and chance to confuse

Answer 9

Nature +SP.ATK -Attack

Item: Life orb, this guy won't stay alive long, and stealth rocks will murder it. So deal as much damage as you can.

Fiery Dance: Signature, STAB, 50% boost
Bug buzz: Great bug move, STAB
Heat wave/Psychic
Quiver dance

Answer 10

For Volcorana
Quiver Dance-helps so much by raising stats
Fireiy Dance-has a 50% chance to raise special attack and good power
Hurricane-amazing power and has a chance of confusing the opponent
Bug Buzz-only good bug move that he/she can learn and good power

Answer 13

How about Sunny Day Volcarona?

Ability: Swarm
Nature: Modest
Item: Heat Rock

Sunny Day: Good for Solarbeam, Fiery Dance
Solarbeam: Good with Sunny Day, coverage
Fiery Dance: Do I really need to explain this?
Bug Buzz/Quiver Dance: Bug Buzz for Swarm, Quiver Dance for boosting your stats even more

Answer 14

A really good moveset in my opinion. Any disagreements? c:

Volcarona ~

• Sunny Day (powers up Fire moves and Solarbeam)
• Solar Beam (coverage against weaknesses, powerful move)
• Quiver Dance (raises valuable stats)
• Flamethrower (STAB)
