Volcarona is honestly a perfect pokemon: exceptional design and exceptional in battle without being broken.

This thing absolutely wrecks after setting up, not to mention a generous move pool for a bug

Looks cool. Shame it evolves so late, has a shitty level-up movepool, and learns its best fire move at Level 100.

Volcarona's level up movepool is so bad in BW2 that I actually relearnt Ember with Heart Scale rather than rely on Fire Spin until Lacunosa's Fire Blast TM. Also, you NEED Signal Beam as Bug Buz is level 70, way into the postgame.

Still proved to be very good though, but everything seems to have Rock or Water moves in the late game.

Whoa, I'm using a Volcarona in W2 now and your post almost exactly mirrors my experience with it. Spooky.

It doesn't help that Quiver Dance comes at Lv.59 so it probably won't get it before the Pokémon League. At least it gets Giga Drain via tutor.

I had a Calm natured one in a Nuzlocke recently. He survived the whole adventure but Volcarona is no good against all three of the last gyms, and you can't deal with Fighting types as they all have Rock moves. It's like they designed the lategame specifically to dick with Volcarona. Still really good despite the lack of moves though - even Signal Beam alone was murdering things.

Volc deserved to be the second Unova pseudo.
What stat changes would you make for it to be true ? I would say +20 Attack because GameFreak, +10 HP, +10 or +20 Defense. Ideally more speed but that would be unlikely.
Also a cocoon stage between Larvesta and Volcarona.

I'm sure if I even touched it I'd burn up but I'd be up for flying on this thing since it's one of the few bug types that can learn it.

As a person who witnessed the weather wars and was in that rainstorm myself, no, Hydreigon was and still is the worst Pseudo.
>has terrible typing so all of its weaknesses are pretty much checked by almost anything
>Ice type, fighting type, dragon type, and bug type moves weren't too uncommon but at least one thing had it
>lol levitate
>it barely has any good move coverage for its main attackers, fighting and dragon (ironically)
>needs to rely on an item to reliably kill, which is most of the time a 2hko
>oh yeah and don't forget that technician breloom one hits it with band and mach punch which was very common back then

What were your reactions to Volcarona when the BW pokedex was leaked?
I remember on most forums people were in love with the Litwick and Joltik lines, but didn't see a lot of talk about the first bug fire.

The only way to reasonably use one in game was to trade it over so it would get boosted exp.

It did significantly better than Metagross in gen V.
As for it still being the worst pseudo that's borderline ridiculous, Goodra and Kommo-o are still worse.

Why though, it majes perfect sense here.
Plus 2nd stages are irrelevant since they can't be used in LC and are too shit for other tiers

The idea is to make the line more usable in game.

I was thinking of competitive but it's true that ingame cocoons suck. But what would you do instead, a cocoon makes sense between a caterpillar and a butterfly.
