[SET COMMENTS]
Volcarona's unique typing allows it to check Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Melmetal, and Rillaboom as well as be a good pivot into Pokemon such as Zamazenta lacking Stone Edge, Mega Lopunny, and Kartana, potentially weakening them with a burn from Flame Body. At the same time, it retains its setup sweeping potential with Quiver Dance. Hidden Power Ground is necessary to hit opposing Fire-types, most notably Heatran, Iron Moth, and Cinderace, as well as Raging Bolt and Toxapex super effectively. Roost gives Volcarona much needed longevity, allowing it to pivot into strong attacks more reliably, such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant's Moonblast while also letting it set up on Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Mega Venusaur, and Terapagos. The given EV spread allows Volcarona to outspeed Zamazenta after a Quiver Dance; the rest is dumped into physical defense, notably letting it avoid the OHKO from +2 Iron Valiant's Knock Off.

While fitting well on balance and bulky offense builds, Volcarona trades power and coverage for longevity, worsening its weakness against bulky Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and Garchomp. Thus, Fairy-type teammates such as Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele are strong partners; the former additionally breaks through bulky Water-types like Toxapex and Alomomola for Volcarona, while the latter protects it from strong priority moves such as Kingambit's Sucker Punch and Urshifu-R's Aqua Jet. Dragon-type teammates, such as the aforementioned Roaring Moon and Garchomp, also appreciate Volcarona, since they need it to soft-check Fairy- and Steel-types they don't like dealing with, such as Iron Valiant, Mega Scizor, and Gholdengo, both offensively and defensively; Volcarona also takes care of Great Tusk for the former. In return, they are able to break through the bulky Fire-types that Volcarona struggles with, most notably Moltres and Mega Charizard Y, since they're immune to Hidden Power Ground. Garchomp is also able to provide Stealth Rock support, which helps Volcarona dismantle defensive cores including Mega Latios and Mega Tyranitar quicker, making up for the drop in power this set has; other Stealth Rock setters such as Landorus-T are also good options. On the defensive side, Volcarona appreciates bulky Water- and Grass-types such as Tapu Fini, Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Tangrowth that can pivot into strong Water-type attacks from Hisuian Samurott, Urshifu-R, and Barraskewda on Rain teams, with Tapu Fini in particular protecting Volcarona from harmful status conditions such as poison from Alomomola and Gliscor, as well as checking Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon and Dragonite.

Volcarona's unqiue typing allows it to check Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Melmetal, and Rillaboom, and be a good pivot into Pokemon such as Zamazenta, Mega Lopunny and Kartana be sure to mention that it can cripple these Pokemon with burn this is a big reason it can check some physical attackers, all while retaining its setup sweeping potential with Quiver Dance. Hidden Power Ground is necessary to hit opposing Fire-types, most notably Heatran, Iron Moth and Cinderace, as well as Raging Bolt super-effectively. Roost gives Volcarona much needed longevity, allowing it to pivot into strong attacks more reliably Like what? Lele Moonblast is a big one as it can be choice locked and Volc can use it as set up fodder (same with specs Val) , while also being able to setup on Pokemon such as defensive Landorus-T, Gliscor Ferrothorn and Terapagos Volc doesn’t always set up on Lando and it doesn’t set up on glisc at all really mostly due to them constantly carrying toxic I’d use another example alongside the ferrothorn. The given EV spread allows Volcarona to outspeed Dragapult after a Quiver Dance; the rest is dumped into physical defense, notably letting Volcarona avoid the OHKO from +2 Iron Valiant's Knock Off.

Volcarona trades power and coverage for longevity, worsening its weakness against bulky Dragon-types such as Raging Bolt, Dragonite and Garchomp, meaning Fairy-type teammates such as Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele are strong partners; the former additionally breaks through bulky Water-types like Toxapex and Alomomola for Volcarona, while the latter protects Volcarona from strong priority moves such as Kingambit's Sucker Punch and Urshifu-R's Aqua Jet via Psychic Surge. Dragon-type teammates, such as the aforementioned Raging Bolt and Garchomp, also appreciate Volcarona, since they it to soft-check Fairy- and Steel-types they don't like dealing with, such as Iron Valiant, Mega Scizor and Gholdengo, both offensively and defensively. In return, they are able to break through the bulky Fire-types that Volcarona struggles with, most notably Moltres and Mega Charizard Y, since they're immune to Hidden Power Ground; Garchomp is also able to provide Stealth Rock support, similarly to Landorus-T and Ferrothorn, which helps Volcarona break through defensive cores quicker examples?, making up for the drop in power this set has.
Be sure to mention bulky water and grass teammates like Ferrothorn and Pex as they help check Urshifu and Ogerpon-W which volcarona is immediately threatened by.

Volcarona's unqiue typing allows it to check Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Melmetal, and Rillaboom, and be a good pivot into Pokemon such as Zamazenta Zamazenta lacking stone edge, a lot of zamas run sedge rn Mega Lopunny and Kartana, potentially weakening them with a burn from Flame Body, all while retaining its setup sweeping potential with Quiver Dance. Hidden Power Ground is necessary to hit opposing Fire-types, most notably Heatran, Iron Moth and Cinderace, as well as Raging Bolt and Toxapex pex is a big reason for hp ground super-effectively. Roost gives Volcarona much needed longevity, allowing it to pivot into strong attacks more reliably, such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant's Moonblast, while also being able to setup on Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Mega Venusaur and Terapagos.

Need sentence about archetypes it fits on Volcarona trades power and coverage for longevity, worsening its weakness against bulky Dragon-types such as Raging Bolt Roaring Moon, u still hit bolt with hp ground Dragonite and Garchomp, meaning Fairy-type teammates such as Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele are strong partners; the former additionally breaks through bulky Water-types like Toxapex and Alomomola for Volcarona, while the latter protects Volcarona from strong priority moves such as Kingambit's Sucker Punch and Urshifu-R's Aqua Jet via Psychic Surge. Dragon-type teammates, such as the aforementioned Raging Bolt and Garchomp, also appreciate Volcarona, since they need it to soft-check Fairy- and Steel-types they don't like dealing with, such as Iron Valiant, Mega Scizor and Gholdengo, both offensively and defensively. mayb mention volc breaking through mons like tusk to free up dnite/moon In return, they are able to break through the bulky Fire-types that Volcarona struggles with, most notably Moltres and Mega Charizard Y, since they're immune to Hidden Power Ground; Garchomp is also able to provide Stealth Rock support, similarly to Landorus-T and Ferrothorn, id either move this to a different sentence specifically about these guys and what else they do, or just remove that bit caus it feels a bit out of place rn, these 2 dont beat molt and yard which helps Volcarona break through defensive cores including Mega Latios and Mega Tyranitar quicker, making up for the drop in power this set has. On the defensive side, Volcarona appreciates bulky Water- and Grass-types such as Tapu Fini, Toxapex, Ferrothorn and Tangrowth, to pivot into strong Water-type attacks from Ogerpon-W Hisuian Samurott ngl only tang and mayb ferro r switching hard in on this, Urshifu-R and Barraskewda on Rain teams, with Tapu Fini in particular providing Misty Terrain to protect Volcarona from harmful status conditions such as poisoning from Alomomola and Gliscor, as well as being able to check Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon and Dragonite.
