[SET COMMENTS]
Volcarona performs the role of a threatening setup sweeper for Fire-type teams. It has the coveted Quiver Dance, good Special Attack, and passable Speed stat, which allow it to threaten a plethora of teams, given the chance to set up. Quiver Dance is the most important move on the set, as it lets Volcarona be an offensive juggernaut, allowing it to outspeed and beat threat like Choice Scarf Dracovish after minor chip damage. Fire Blast is its strongest STAB move and should be used to break through Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Hatterene, Corviknight, and Galarian Weezing after a Quiver Dance boost. Psychic is used to threaten Poison- and Fighting-type Pokemon like Toxapex, Dragalge, and Keldeo. Roost allows Volcarona to keep itself healthy and set up easily against types like Electric, Ghost, Dragon, and Psychic without getting worn out. Bug Buzz allows Volcarona to threaten Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Slowbro and Tyranitar, which can shrug off other attacks from it. It also has the added benefit of hitting Pokemon behind Substitute like Heliolisk and Seismitoad. Volcarona should seek opportunities to set up against Pokemon that do not threaten it like Mew and Galarian Weezing. It should be used mid- or late-game once its checks and counters like Incineroar, Snorlax, and specially defensive Toxapex are taken out or weakened enough. Maximum Special Attack EVs optimize its overall damage output, while maximum Speed EVs with a Timid nature allow Volcarona to Speed tie with other base 100 Speed Pokemon and outspeed slower Pokemon like Excadrill, Indeedee-M, and Hydreigon. Heavy-Duty Boots ensures that Volcarona is not susceptible to any form of entry hazard, which can otherwise undermine its ability as a setup sweeper.

Physical attackers like Cinderace, Darmanitan, and Alolan Marowak appreciate Volcarona taking on physical walls like Slowbro and Seismitoad. In return, they threaten special walls like Tyranitar if Volcarona is not running Bug Buzz and take on Dark teams as a whole. Torkoal is the premier support Pokemon and a great partner, as it provides Volcarona with important Drought support; this not only allows it to hit much harder with sun-boosted Fire Blast, but it also reduces the damage from Water-type moves, giving it the opportunity to set up against Pokemon like Rotom-W. Yawn support from Torkoal lets Volcarona set up more easily against an asleep foe. Incineroar with its Knock Off and Taunt utility can weaken defensive cores of Normal- and Poison-type teams, letting Volcarona wreak havoc after a Quiver Dance boost. Charizard can wallbreak in sun thanks to its ability Solar Power and take on Pokemon like Choice Scarf Dracovish, which Volcarona cannot handle without setting up. Additionally, they form a good core against Dragon-type teams. Rotom-H can provide Volcarona with dual screen support, which lets Volcarona set up much more easily, or it can use a Nasty Plot set to weaken shared checks like Toxapex and Mantine. Salazzle can cripple troublesome Pokemon like Mantine, Jellicent, and specially defensive Toxapex, which can prove to be a pain otherwise for Volcarona.

Volcarona performs the role of a threatening setup sweeper for Fire-type teams. It has the coveted Quiver Dance, good Special Attack,(AC) and passable Speed stat which allows it to threaten a plethora of teams, given the chance to setup. Quiver Dance is the most important move on the set as it allows Volcarona to be an offensive juggernaut after a couple of boosts. Fire Blast is its strongest STAB move and should be used to break through Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Galarian Weezing, after a Quiver Dance boost. Bug Buzz allows Volcarona to threaten Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Mew and Hydreigon which can shrug off other attacks from it. It also has the added benefit of hitting Pokemon behind Substitute like Whimsicott and Seismitoad. Psychic is used on the set to threaten Poison- and Fighting-type Pokemon like Toxapex(RC) and Keldeo. Volcarona should find seek (or try to find) opportunities to setup against Pokemon that do not threaten it like Stallbreaker Mew and Clefable. It should be used mid- to late-game once its checks and counters like Incineroar, Snorlax, and Toxapex are taken out or weakened enough. Maximum Special Attack EVs optimizes its overall damage output while maximum Speed EVs with a Timid nature allows Volcarona to speed tie with other base 100 Speed Pokemon that has 100 base Speed and outspeed slower Pokemon like Indeedee(M/F?) and Hydreigon. (Steel kinda fell from grace but I think Excadrill is a good mention here on what Timid outspeeds?) Heavy-Duty Boosts Boots as an item ensures that Volcarona is not susceptible to any form of entry hazard especially Stealth Rock and Sticky Web which can otherwise undermine its ability as a setup sweeper.

Physical attackers like Cinderace, Darmantian Darmanitan, and Arcanine appreciate Volcarona taking on physical walls like Slowbro(RC) and Seismitoad. (U don't add a comma when you have 2 examples) In return,(AC) they threaten special walls for Volcarona like Chansey(RC) and Snorlax. Torkoal is the premier support Pokemon and is a great partner, as it provides Volcarona important Drought support which not only allows it to hit much harder with sun-boosted Fire Blast but also reduces the damage from Water-type moves giving it the opportunity to setup against Pokemon like Rotom-W. Incineroar with its Knock Off and Taunt utility can weaken the defensive core of Normal- and Poison-type teams, letting Volcarona wreck wreak havoc after a Quiver Dance boost. (If you meant multiple boosts, remove a and make boost plural) Charizard can wallbreak in the sun thanks to its ability Solar Power and can take on Pokemon like Choice Scarf Dracovish which Volcarona cannot handle without setting up. Additionally, they both also form a good core against Dragon-type teams. Rotom-H can provide Volcarona with dual screen support which lets Volcarona setup much more easily or it can use a Nasty Plot set to weaken shared checks like Toxapex and Mantine. Salazzle can cripple troublesome Pokemon like Mantine, Jellicent,(AC) and Toxapex which can prove to be a pain otherwise for Volcarona.

amqc, be gentle with me pls. add delete (comment) srsly tho very well written I could only do grammar edits lol

 

[maroon]

- make move #3 psychic, as a result move roost/bug buzz to move#4. you always want to use psychic to nail pokemon like toxapex and dragapult, while fire blast can blow through psychic. reorder paragraph accordingly
- give an example of what volcarona can outspeed thanks to quiver dance and muscle past after a qd boost.
- corviknight and hatterene are good fire blast targets
- dragon can threaten volc even after a qd boost with things like dracovish and darts pult, change the type example for roost
- clefable can carry twave, its not the best example of what volc should setup infront of. use something else.
- if you want to mention toxapex as a check be sure to make it specially defensive pex because volc +1 psychic def beats pex
- for the line about boots i would just generalize it to hazards since its p annoyed by all of them, keep the idea of it preventing hazards from undermining its sweep tho. thats good.
- add alolan marowak to physical attackers & remove arcanine

"Psychic is used on the set to threaten Poison- and Fighting-type Pokemon like Toxapex and Keldeo. "
- Use Dragalge as an example

"Roost allows Volcarona to keep itself healthy and to setup easily against type like Electric and Psychic without getting worn out. "
- Would talk about Ghost and Dragon too

"Bug Buzz allows Volcarona to threaten Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Mew and Hydreigon which can shrug off other attacks from it. It also has the added benefit of hitting Pokemon behind Substitute like Whimsicott and Seismitoad."
- Use Slowbro and Tyranitar as examples and remove Hydreigon. Quiver Dance should beat Hydreigon regardless if it has Bug Buzz or not. Run Heliolisk over Whimsicott as an example for Substitute, Whimsicott isn't a threat to Fire

Volcarona should seek opportunities to setup against Pokemon that do not threaten it like Stallbreaker Mew and Galarian Weezing. It should be used mid- to late-game once its checks and counters like Incineroar, Snorlax, and specially defensive Toxapex are taken out or weakened enough.
- Volcarona sets up on any decent Mew set

Maximum Special Attack EVs optimizes its overall damage output while maximum Speed EVs with a Timid nature allows Volcarona to speed tie with other Pokemon that have 100 base Speed and outspeed slower Pokemon like Indeedee-M and Hydreigon.
- Mention Excadrill

Physical attackers like Cinderace, Darmanitan and Alolan Marowak appreciate Volcarona taking on physical walls like Slowbro and Seismitoad. In return, they threaten special walls for Volcarona like Chansey, and Snorlax.
- Cinderace and Darmanitan can beat Tyranitar for Volcarona if it is not running Bug Buzz, and take on Dark teams as a whole

Torkoal is the premier support Pokemon and is a great partner, as it provides Volcarona important Drought support which not only allows it to hit much harder with sun-boosted Fire Blast but also reduce the damage from Water-type moves giving it the opportunity to setup against Pokemon like Rotom-W.
- Talk about Yawn for Torkoal
