>>20256727Also it was really good last gen, but this gen is just way too hostile to it and it received a few nerfs.
>>20256741>All you have to take out is other fire types and talonflame and mega pinsirand Azumarill (assault vest set can take a giga drain easy)
and Tyranitar
and Sand Rush Excadrill, if you DO take out T-Tar
and Clefable (if unaware)
and Chansey
and Thundurus
and you need to find a good chance to set-up, which can be difficult against a number of things
and "other fire types" includes both forms of Charizard and Heatran, all of which are very common
These are literally some of the best pokemon in the meta, and this doesn't mention that Volcarona absolutely requires Hazard control.
Mega Heracross doesn't need Sticky Web or Tailwind. It's not a sweeper, it's a wall breaker. It legit has zero counters, and not in the Aegislash sense where "oh if you take into account these four sets there's nothing that counters all of them," I mean Mega Heracross has exactly one set with maybe one move that can be changed (Earthquake over Swords Dance) that has almost no counters. It decimates stall, and requires zero support to do this.
