yeah this
fire/bug is pretty decent offensively but it's rather poor defensively, and has a 4x weakness to sneaky pebbles
fixing that turns it from a pretty good mon to something way too strong for OU and better suited to a tier with box legendaries like ubers

as fun as that would be
good luck getting game freak to make any actually fun improvements to pokemon

tera makes it matchup fishy
omgon has a hateboner for things that are matchup fishy, because even if they suck on ladder they swing their precious autistic tournaments
volc died not for OU but for SPL
omgon is a joke

Boots with Tera is busted. Switch in to something that can't do shit to Volc, get 1 Quiver Dance up. Opponent switches the supposed counter/check in to deal with it, Tera, take the hit, and kill it back or Quiver up one more time. Sweep proceeds.

>teras and quivers on your unsuspecting ass
This dumb moth can run like four different tera types and all equally fuck you over if unprepared, giving it the chance to setup and take half of your team as tax

Mega Volcarona
Ability: Drought
HP: 85
Attack: 60
Defense: 85
Special Attack: 175
Special Defense: 115
Speed: 130
(If it gets the Mega Alakazam treatment, since both have similar stat spreads)
A part of me thinks that a hypothetical Mega Volcarona would be broken even with a lesser ability, so GF would so something stupid like overly invest in its physical stats and maybe even cripple its Speed.

they should've held tera and dynamax back by requiring a held item for their gimmicks

omgon is held back by lack of item clause in gen 9.
