I closed my eyes and I slipped away...
Volcarona is strong, fast, and can boost easily. It only has one flaw: a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock. Play well and use a spinner and it will destroy teams.
Bye bug

Damn I didn't even finish climbing the ladder with Venomoth Offense.venomoth got enough votes to get send back to BL. paragraphs will be posted in the records thread as soon as the remainder are in.
the next test is volcarona. have fun :)
Shouldn't Fletchinder be in the "Cons" list? Also, your Mega Blastoise summary is very... Interesting. What kind of +2 Giga Drain are we talking about? Because after Rocks you have a worse-than-not chance (does that make sense?) to survive +2 252 SpA Giga Drain. You do well over half with Water Pulse, but it still tanks the shit out of it and can do some seriously nasty damage to your team. Once again, Mega Aero seems to be check #1. God, I hate that thing.Volcarona Pros:
Fire Typing allows it to set up on non-Toxic Florges/Aromatisse
Great base 135 sp atk with crucial 100 speed
Quiver Dance
Fiery Dance-attacking + boosting at same time! But Fire Blast is usually better
Access to roost
Fletchinder! Ka-caw!!
Volcarona Cons:
SR Weak :-(
Pink Blob Blissey
Coverage mainly limited to Fire/Bug/Hidden Power/Giga Drain
Base 60 Def hurts
Volcarona is definitely a powerhouse. Power-wise, it makes Venomoth look like a teeny tiny butterfree lol It can't pass the boosts on nor does it have Wonderskin, so it's more about power and ability to check/counter.
Checks and Counters
Mega Aerodactyl
Can take Bug/Fire Moves at +3, Giga Drain at +2 with SR on the field and a +1 HP Rock and easily OHKO with SE.
Blissey:
Moth needs to be at +3 before it has a significant chance to 2HKO Blissey.
Flecthinder:
252+ Atk Fletchinder Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 384-452 (123 - 144.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
'nuff said
Mega Blastoise:
Can tank a +2 Giga Drain and OHKO with Water Pulse/Hydro Pump.
Scarf Ape/Shao:
Outspeed at +1 and easily OHKO with Stone Edge (or pretty close to OHKO with Ape's Flare Blitz)
I'm on the fence about Volc. SR really shouldn't be an argument against Volc (even though it's going to come up). We have a plethora of Defoggers and Spinners in the tier, all are pretty viable.
Oh yeah, i meant Con lol As for Mega Stoise..Shouldn't Fletchinder be in the "Cons" list? Also, your Mega Blastoise summary is very... Interesting. What kind of +2 Giga Drain are we talking about? Because after Rocks you have a worse-than-not chance (does that make sense?) to survive +2 252 SpA Giga Drain.
