========
- Volcarona relies on Quiver Dance to sustain itself and make it a threat on the field that deals massive damage with immense special bulk and high speed. Volcarona has a good matchup into both Calyrex-S and Calyrex-I as well as Zacian-C and Zamazenta-C thanks to its typing, STAB Fire-type moves, and ability to boost its bulk with Quiver Dance to survive more hits and outspeed Calyrex-S.
- Struggle Bug is a good choice for breaking the Focus Sash of Calyrex-S or Shadow Shield from Lunala while lowering their Special Attack. Struggle Bug can also threaten Terapagos by breaking Tera Shell while lowering its Special Attack. Giga Drain provides a potential healing option for Volcarona and hits Water-type Pokemon like Kyogre and Urshifu-R, which Volcarona can otherwise struggle to handle. Fiery Dance is a weaker option than Flamethrower but offers a chance to boost Volcarona's Special Attack further boosting the sweeping potential of Volcarona.
- Leftovers provides recovery for Volcarona every turn to sustain itself on the field longer. Volcarona uses Electric Seed when paired next to Miraidon which allows it to survive a Flare Blitz from Koraidon.
- The speed investment allows Volcarona to outspeed Calyrex-S after a single use of Quiver Dance as well as Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. The bulk allows Volcarona to live two Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S after one Quiver Dance and survive Behemoth Blade from bulky Zacian-C even after a Swords Dance. The Special Attack investment can OKHO Amoonguss with Flamethrower at +1 and OHKO Zacian-C with Flamethrower at +2 Special Attack.
- Volcarona is threatened by Water- and Fire-type attacks like Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R or Flare Blitz from Koraidon, so Tera Dragon is optimal to resist both typings. Tera Grass provides a way to ignore Spore and other powder moves like Rage Powder from Amoonguss as well as providing a resistance to Water-type attacks. Tera Grass also boosts the damage of Giga Drain making it more effective against Water-Type Pokemon like Urshifu-R.
Teambuilding
=========
- Volcarona struggles to break through Lunala even after setting up due to its ability Shadow Shield and access to Meteor Beam which can OHKO Volcarona.
-Kyogre can OHKO Volcarona with Water-type moves like Water Spout and decrease the damage of Flamethrower and Fiery Dance with Drizzle. Kyogre can also threaten Terastallized Volcarona with Ice Beam.
-Koraidon can resist attacks from Volcarona making it hard for Volcarona to break through Koraidon. Koraidon can also OHKO Tera Grass Volcarona with a sun boosted Fire-type move like Flare Blitz.
- Ogerpon-C threatens to OHKO Volcarona with Ivy Cudgel. Follow me can redirect Flamethrower and Fiery Dance away from threats like Terapagos and Calyrex-S.
- Zamazenta-C is a great partner for Volcarona as it can take many attacks while hitting physically against threats like Kyogre and Ogerpon-C with Body Press or breaking through Lunala with Behemoth Bash. Volcarona handles Amoonguss with Flamethrower which Zamazenta-C tends to struggle against.
- Miraidon can set up Electric Terrain to active Electric Seed and make it so Volcarona can't be put to sleep by Amoonguss using Spore. Miraidon also can handle the Water-Type threats like Kyogre or Urshifu-R. Miraidon threatens Koraidon with Draco Meteor and Volcarona's Fire-type moves can handle Calyrex-I and Zacian-C which threaten Miraidon.
- Grimmsnarl can provide extra support to Volcarona with Light Screen and Reflect so that Volcarona can more safely setup Quiver Dance. Volcarona threatens Zacian-C which threatens to OHKO Grimmsnarl.
- Iron Hands is a great slow partner for Volcarona to handle Trick Room threats like Ursaluna or Calyrex-I with Low Kick, Iron Hands can also break through Water-type Pokemon like Urshifu-R. Iron Hands also has access to Fake Out to flinch an opposing Pokemon which assists Volcarona in setting up Quiver Dance.
