>>46898982>1 attack VolcaronaYou don't need 1 attack. I use Psychic to pressure Pex, because Pex doesn't run Toxic in this meta.
The downside to bulky Volcarona is you miss out on some power to kill something like Lando or (hell) even Celesteela:
>+1 0 SpA Volcarona Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-Therian: 277-327 (72.5 - 85.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO>+1 252 SpA Volcarona Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-Therian: 333-393 (87.1 - 102.8%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO>0 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Celesteela: 248-294 (74 - 87.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKOthe inches matter because uninvested Lando 2HKOs even bulky Volcarona with Earthquake.
also, there's nothing wrong with mostly defensive checks. That's essentially how Ash-Greninja operated as well, and Ash-Gren was much more meta shaping than Zama-C.
>this is a meta where knock off is the best way to progress the matchIt's a crutch and you usually have to run a bunch of shitmons to get KO access, unless something like Rillaboom, Lando or Pex pack it.
This KO meta is going bye bye once Z-Moves and Megas return, perhaps then will people realize boots are broken?
