[SET COMMENTS]
Volcarona performs as a solid late-game setup sweeper for Bug teams, threatening to sweep any unprepared team thanks to Quiver Dance. Flamethrower is the go-to STAB move for Volcarona, as it hits Steel- and Ice-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Chien-Pao. Optionally, Fiery Dance can be used over Flamethrower, which has an additional effect of boosting Special Attack, but Flamethrower is preferred due to a higher Base Power. Psychic primarily covers Poison-types like Toxapex, Glimmora, and Iron Moth, but it also hits Fighting-types such as Quaquval and Great Tusk. Morning Sun provides reliable recovery, which allows Volcarona to further set up and threaten to sweep. Alternatively, Giga Drain targets Water- and Ground-type Pokemon such as Quagsire, Greninja, and Gastrodon. Bug Buzz can be used over Psychic to hit Dark- and Psychic-types such as Hydreigon, Ting-Lu, and Espathra. Heavy-Duty Boots keeps Volcarona safe from entry hazards, while Flame Body debilitates physical attackers. A Timid nature allows Volcarona to outspeed Choice Scarf Flamigo after a single Quiver Dance boost.

Volcarona and Scizor make a great pair, as Scizor—thanks to its Steel-typing—helps Volcarona by switching into Toxic from Clodsire, and it deals with Rock-types such as Tyranitar and Lycanroc thanks to Bullet Punch. Volcarona appreciates entry hazard support from Forretress, which pressures and wears down the opposing team. Choice Scarf Heracross helps against Steel- and Dark-types—such as Iron Treads and Kingambit—and Flying-types—like Kilowattrel—with Close Combat and Stone Edge, respectively; in return, Volcarona helps deal with Corviknight, which Heracross struggles to break. Slither Wing threatens Flying- and Water-types such as Iron Jugulis, Pelipper, and Greninja with Wild Charge, and threatens Corviknight with Flare Blitz. It can safely pivot in Volcarona, enabling its sweep. Both Slither Wing and Heracross pressure specially defensive walls such as Clodsire and Blissey, which Volcarona struggles to break. Lokix helps against Ghost-, Psychic- and Dark-types like Skeledirge, Espathra, Armarouge, Meowscarada, and Greninja thanks to First Impression, Throat Chop, and Sucker Punch. Volcarona appreciates Sticky Web support from Masquerain or Spidops to deal with Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Iron Moth.

[SET COMMENTS]

Volcarona performs as a solid late-game setup sweeper for Bug teams, thanks to Quiver Dance boosting its already great Special Attack, alongside Special Defense and Speed, threatening to sweep any unprepared team (What types are typically unprepared for Volcarona?). Flamethrower is the go to STAB move for Volcarona as it hits Steel and Dark-types Ice-types such as Corviknight, Kingambit and Chien-Pao. Psychic primarily covers Toxapex, and Glimmora, but it also hits other Poison- and Fighting-types such as Iron Moth and Quaquaval. Bug Buzz is another move that can be used to hit Dark and Dragon-types Psychic-types such as Hydreigon, Walking Wake Ting-Lu and Roaring Moon Slowking. Morning Sun as a form of reliable recovery allows Volcarona to gain multiple boosts and threaten to sweep. Alternatively, Giga Drain allows Volcarona to cripple targets Water and Ground-type pokemons such as Quagsire, Greninja and Gastrodon. Heavy-Duty Boots keep Volcarona safe from entry hazards while Flame Body cripples burns physical attackers (List some examples). A Timid nature allows Volcarona to outspeed Hydreigon at base and Choice-Scarf Flamigo after single boost.

Volcarona and Scizor make a great pair as Scizor, thanks to its Steel-typing helps Volcarona to switch-in to status and ability to deal with Rock-types such as Tyranitar and Lycanroc thanks to its Priority based Bullet punch. Volcarona appreciates entry hazard support from Forretress, which pressures Non Heavy-Duty Boots users and punishes switch-ins (Mention a few switch ins to Volcarona). Choice Scarf Heracross helps against Steel, Dark and Flying-types such as Iron Treads (Iron Treads isn't much of an issue for Volcarona), Kingambit, Gyarados and Kilowattrel with Close Combat and Stone Edge respectively. In return, Volcarona helps in dealing with Corviknight which Heracross struggles to break. Choice Band Lokix helps against Ghost, Psychic and Dark-types such as Flutter Mane (Power Gem isn't too comon), Skeledirge, Espathra, Armarouge Meowscarada and Greninja thanks to First Impression and Dark-type moves. (Mention Slither Wing in the same sentence as Heracross)

Volcarona performs as a solid late-game setup sweeper for Bug teams, thanks to Quiver Dance boosting its already great Special Attack, alongside Special Defense and Speed, threatening to sweep any unprepared team. Flamethrower is the go to STAB move for Volcarona as it hits Steel and Ice-types such as Corviknight, Kingambit (Kingambit isnt that great an example as this can sucker punch you, Gholdengo or something else would be better) and Chien-Pao. Psychic primarily covers Toxapex, (remove this comma. Also, Psychic primarily covers Poison-types like Toxapex, Glimmora, and Iron Moth, but also hits Fighting-types such as Quaquval and Great Tusk might be nicer) and Glimmora, but it also hits other Poison- and Fighting-types such as Iron Moth and Quaquaval. Bug Buzz is another move that can be used to hit Dark and Psychic-types such as Hydreigon, Ting-Lu and Espathra (?)Slowking. Morning Sun as is a form of reliable recovery which allows Volcarona to gain multiple boosts and threaten to sweep. Alternatively, Giga Drain allows Volcarona to targets Water and Ground-type pokemons such as Quagsire, Greninja and Gastrodon. Heavy-Duty Boots keep Volcarona safe from entry hazards while Flame Body debilitates physical attackers. A Timid nature allows Volcarona to outspeed Hydreigon at base (bug buzz is an Other Options at best, so I'd rather choose a different example) and Choice-(no hypen needed) Scarf Flamigo after single boost.

Volcarona and Scizor make a great pair as Scizor, thanks to its Steel-typing helps Volcarona to switch-in to status (Toxic from Unaware cloddy?) and ability to deal with Rock-types such as Tyranitar and Lycanroc thanks to its Priority based Bullet punch. Volcarona appreciates entry hazard support from Forretress, which pressures Non Heavy-Duty Boots users and punishes switch-ins (wears down the opposing team > Non HDB users, but up to you. It also pivots volcaroo in). Choice Scarf Heracross helps against Steel, Dark and Flying-types such as Iron Treads, Kingambit, Gyarados and Kilowattrel with Close Combat and Stone Edge respectively. In return, Volcarona helps in dealing with Corviknight which Heracross struggles to break. Slither Wing breaks Flying and Water-types (not water, also breaks isnt a great term, more like threatens or deals with. It and Hera also pressures walls such as Clodsire and Bliss which otherwise deals with Volcaroo) such as Corviknight, Iron Jugulis, Pelipper and Greninja with Flare Blitz, Wild Charge and U-turn to safely pivot into Volcarona enabling to sweep further. Choice Band Lokix helps against Ghost, Psychic and Dark-types such as Skeledirge, Espathra, Armarouge (you sort of can lose vs that...) Meowscarada (Meow not that much of a problem for volcaroo, esp since you have recovery) and Greninja thanks to First Impression and Dark-type moves.(mention Sticky Web, letting it sweep without fear of getting rked by Scarf Iron Treads or Scarf Iron Moth)

Volcarona performs as a solid late-game setup sweeper for Bug teams, thanks to Quiver Dance boosting its already great Special Attack, alongside Special Defense and Speed, dex info threatening to sweep any unprepared team thanks to Quiver Dance. Flamethrower is the go-to(add hyphen) STAB move for Volcarona,(ac) as it hits Steel-(add hyphen) and Ice-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo,(ac) and Chien-Pao. Optionally, Fiery Dance can be used over Flamethrower,(ac) which has an additional effect of boosting Special Attack,(ac) still dex info, but contextually relevant for guiding the reader towards a move choice is what you mean to imply here, i think? but the former Flamethrower is preferred due to more power a higher Base Power.t Psychic primarily covers Poison-types like Toxapex, Glimmora, and Iron Moth, but it also hits Fighting-types such as Quaquval and Great Tusk. Bug Buzz is another move that you didn't mention a move previously that hits these super effectively can be used you don't mention which moveslot this would replace; coming after psychic, logically that would be the choice, but maybe consider mentioning which you'd swap it with to hit Dark and Psychic-types such as Hydreigon, Ting-Lu,(ac) and Espathra. Morning Sun is a form of provides reliable recovery,(ac) which allows Volcarona to gain multiple boosts further set up and threaten to sweep. Alternatively, Giga Drain allows Volcarona to removed so the verb matches the subject & to move away from the redundant, back to back "allows Volcarona to" targets Water-(add hyphen) and Ground-type Pokemon such as Quagsire, Greninja,(ac) and Gastrodon. Heavy-Duty Boots keeps Volcarona safe from entry hazards while Flame Body debilitates physical attackers. A Timid nature allows Volcarona to outspeed Choice Scarf Flamigo after a single Quiver Dance boost. added QD because you hadn't referenced it since the beginning of the paragraph

Volcarona and Scizor make a great pair,(ac) as Scizor,(rc)—thanks to its Steel-typing—helps Volcarona to switch-in to status by switching in to Toxic assuming you mean this due to mentioning its Steel-typing from Clodsire,(ac) and ability to it deals with Rock-types such as Tyranitar and Lycanroc thanks to its Priority based Bullet Punch punch. Volcarona appreciates entry hazard support from Forretress, which pressures two verbs in a row- if you meant "pressures and wears down" then that's okay, but add the "and" wears down the opposing team. Choice Scarf Heracross helps against Steel-(add hyphen),(rc) and Dark-types(add hyphen)—such as Iron Treads and Kingambit— and Flying-types—such as Iron Treads, Kingambit and like changed to like since you used such as a bunch of times in a row Kilowattrel—with Close Combat and Stone Edge,(ac) respectively;(add semicolon) in .(remove period) In return, Volcarona helps in dealing with Corviknight,(ac) which Heracross struggles to break.

Volcarona appreciates Sticky Web support from Masquerain and or changed to or because i don't think you'd be running both on the same team Spidops to deal with Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Iron Moth.
