Volcarona excels as a setup Pokémon thanks to its access to Quiver Dance. Volcarona can set up easily against Pokémon such as Rillaboom, Raging Bolt, and Gholdengo, as well as most Pokémon lacking Fire, Poison, Flying, and Rock offensive moves. Volcarona typically prefers Giga Drain for its dual functionality of dealing damage and self-healing. However, Volcarona can effectively use Tera Blast too. Leftovers' recovery is optimal for Volcarona as it is intended to remain on the field for extended periods. This EV spread enables Volcarona to OHKO Amoonguss at +1 and Assault Vest users like Rillaboom and Kingambit at +2. It allows Volcarona to outspeed Iron Bundle, survive Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel, withstand a Dazzling Gleam from Booster Energy-boosted Flutter Mane after Dragon Tera, and handle threats like Groudon at +1 and Tera Grass Zamazenta-Crowned at +2. Giga Drain is recommended with the Grass Tera Type, while Tera Blast is more effective with Dragon or Water Tera Types. Flamethrower is necessary to handle restricted Pokémon effectively, but Fiery Dance is a decent alternative that can also boost your Special Attack by +1.
Despite boosts, Volcarona may still have difficulties with strong physical Fire types such as Ogerpon-H and Entei, and restricted Pokémon like Groudon, Lunala, Terapagos, or Calyrex-Ice if terastalized into Fire. Volcarona benefits greatly from supportive teammates with redirect moves like Ogerpon-W and Amoonguss, Intimidate users such as Incineroar and Landorus-T, and Fake Out users like Rillaboom as they help Volcarona set up. Giga Drain enhances Volcarona's longevity by providing healing. Landorus-T, Urshifu-R, and Raging Bolt are valuable teammates. Additionally, restricted Pokémon like Kyogre and Calyrex-S are highly beneficial as they check Volcarona's weaknesses and help it last longer on the field. Rillaboom is essential when utilizing Volcarona.
