Volcarona @ Leftovers
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 52 HP / 204 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Flamethrower
- Bug Buzz
- Substitute

Behold the almighty sun moth burning its foes to a crisp! This set uses its bread-and-butter, Substitute, to shield itself from status from foes like Alomomola and Galarian Slowking and get its HP down to Swarm range to secure a 2HKO on Raging Bolt after Stealth Rock. The given EV spread allows Volcarona's Substitute to survive Toxapex's Scald at +1. Quiver Dance gives it the chance to OHKO Alomomola when boosted with Swarm at +1 and a guaranteed 2HKO on specially defensive Garchomp. Hyper offense teams value this set's ability to take advantage of passive Pokemon like Alomomola and use defensive anchors like Ferrothorn and Gholdengo as setup bait all while being an effective late-game sweeper. Without Heavy-Duty Boots, it is imperative that Volcarona have effective entry hazard removal to ensure it stays healthy; therefore, teammates like Great Tusk and Terapagos are appreciated. In return, Volcarona pressures their checks like Corviknight. Volcarona is also vulnerable to checks like Dragonite and Urshifu-R. Thus, allies like Iron Valiant and Ogerpon-W for Urshifu-R and Heatran are valued. Mega Diancie is also an effective late-game partner due to bouncing back hazards from foes like Ferrothorn and Heatran.

Behold the almighty sun moth burning its
foes to a crisp! Flamethrower destroys common Steel-type Pokemon that teams rely on so heavily defensively like Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and Corviknight. Bug Buzz is a strong neutral STAB move that is further boosted by Swarm granted Volcarona hits low health. you can keep something about swarm here id say and highlight how it lets you sub down into range of swarm to secure kills vs stuff like chomp and bolt + avoiding status v mola and gking instead of describing fthrower/bugbuzz targets since thats just generic stab that im p sure you arent required to talk about in these. Quiver Dance arguably the strongest boosted move of all time is in the moth’s arsenal, this gives it the chance to OHKO Alomomola when boosted with Swarm at +1 while also granting it a guaranteed 2HKO on specially defensive Garchomp. <-- move this part abt qd to be the first thing you talk about This particular Volcarona finds itself on Hyper Offense teams, these teams value its ability to take advantage of passive Pokemon like Alomomola and using defensive anchors like Ferrothorn and Gholdengo as setup bait all while being an effective late game sweeper. As this set does not run Heavy-duty boots it is imperative that Volcarona have effective hazard removal to ensure it stays healthy; therefore, teammates like Great Tusk and Terapagos are appreciated. In return, Volcarona is able to pressure their checks like Corviknight. Mega Diancie is also an effective late game partner due to its ability to bounce back entry hazards from foes like Ferrothorn and Heatran. The given Ev spread allows Volcarona's Substitute to live Toxapex's Scald at +1. <-- move this earlier in text as well /// as a separate unrelated note, i think you would like to add some notes re: checks to it, notably stuff like dnite urshifu and responses to them on ho such as aforementioned tusk or valiant then waterpon for urshifu
