Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Ice
- Stone Edge

0- Atk Heatran Stone Edge vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 340-400 (108.9 - 128.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Volcarona Bug Buzz vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 36-42 (11.1 - 13%) -- possible 8HKO
252 SpA Volcarona Hidden Power Ground vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 256-304 (79.2 - 94.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

So it's a bit of tricky math, but if you get the lowest roll with Bug Buzz, you have a 5/8 chance of survival. If you get the highest roll, you have a 9/16 chance of survival. The average of these two is 19/32, which is greater than 50%.


Then I realize that Stone Miss has 80% accuracy, which makes the chance 19/40.

You have to be able to switch into my attack and win from there. Two hits with stone edge + sandstorm (can't miss because of no guard) is higher than 50% chance for hippo to win so that is a yuck. also that calc doesn't represent the evs you put in for aurumoth (24 hp evs aren't present for the set).
