Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Fire Blast
- Psychic
- Roost / Bug Buzz

Volcarona performs the role of a threatening setup sweeper for Fire teams. Quiver Dance lets it be an offensive juggernaut and threaten types like Electric, Dragon, and Psychic after a couple of boosts. Fire Blast is able to break apart Pokemon like Hippowdon and Skuntank after a Quiver Dance boost, while Psychic is used to take care of Pokemon like Toxapex and Keldeo, which can stomach other moves from Volcarona and are a threat to Fire teams in general. Roost allows Volcarona to keep itself healthy while setting up Quiver Dance against types like Electric, Poison, and Ghost without getting worn down. Bug Buzz can be used to beat Dark- and Psychic-type Pokemon like Hydreigon and Mew. Heavy-Duty Boots negates any form of hazards and makes Volcarona harder to check for offensive teams. Drought and Stealth Rock support from Torkoal allows Volcarona to sweep teams more easily. Cinderace can beat Pokemon like Tyranitar and Chansey that can check Volcarona.

Roost allows it Volcarona to keep itself healthy while setting up Quiver Dance against types like Electric, Poison, (AC) and Ghost without getting worn out down. Bug Buzz can be used to beat Dark- and Psychic-type Pokemon like Hydreigon and Mew. Heavy-Duty Boots negates any form of hazards and makes Volcarona harder to check for offensive teams. ("makes Volcarona harder to check for offensive teams by negating the hazards they rely on to keep it at bay" if you want, way longer but far less dex-infoey/more descriptive flow and you've got a lot of chars left anyways, up to you) Drought and Stealth Rock support from Torkoal allows Volcarona to sweep teams more easily. Cinderace can beat Pokemon like Tyranitar and Chansey that can check Volcarona.
